3. Surprise
In looking over the Oscar nominations when they came out, and realizing that I had not seen even one movie nominated in ANY of the categories, it occurred to me that the only movies I had seen in a movie theatre in the past year were Drawing Restraint 9 and INLAND EMPIRE. That's it. Period. Whoa.
Between ticket prices, Netflix, lack of interest in what comes out these days, and theatrical work to take care of, I guess that seeing movies in the theatre (and I've ALWAYS been one for the promotion of actually seeing films on a BIG screen rather than video) has become a hell of a lot less important in my life than it once was. This would sadden me if I didn't have better things to think about.
Which reminds me, more Lynch writing soon -- I have the essay file open in the background constantly while working on other things, so I can drop ideas here and there if they come up. But Hamlet, sorry, Ian W. Hill's Hamlet (gotta get used to that) has needed to take over here for the time being.
