Broken Flowers

I listen to my friends when they say : "It's destiny, it's meant to be this way !".

People are strange. People are loud. My head is pounding like a motherfucker. I'm in a vodka-induced coma after going to bed at 5 AM this morning and waking up just in time to catch a bus to work. I almost puked when I took a sip of water earlier.

Tylenol, a can of Coke & some rice chips (salt & vinegar flavored) will do the trick to get my body back to normal, operating as if nothing ever happened.

But what about my heart ?

I saw a Miami Vice episode yesterday - and no, it's not the cause of my heavy drinking - that was quite interesting. It was called "The Fix", off the season 2 DVD. The storyline was rather "normal", according to MV standarts, and revolved around a corrupt judge trying to pay off a gambling debt to some crook. The crook in question was Kramer.

How do you expect a bad guy to be believable when a goofy Kramer plays him ?

I also saw Jim Jarmush's BROKEN FLOWERS. Which is a touching, slow road trip, with an underdeveloped character played by Bill Murray. His name here's Don Johnston, and he's an aging seducer on a quest to find a woman that may have given birth to his son 20 years ago.

He goes through the country in search of himself, and encounters various lonely souls, including a very crass & toothless Larry Fessenden in what looks like a metalhead community established deep in the woods. You have to see this scene to believe it.

The increasingly sexy Chloé Sevigny also stars, and we can get a good glimpse at her legs.

I also saw an episode of SEINFELD that was laugh out loud, hilarious material. "The Red Dot". And fuck knows I need to laugh these days. I started watching it with a beer can in my bed around 9 PM and finished at 4:30 AM, half dead drunk. No, it's not a 7h30 long episode; however, you'll never believe me if I tell you what happened in the meantime.

Huh huh huh, as far as I know.
