Such a crazy thing inside
So yesterday I caught 1408, the new film from the director that brought us Derailed, a movie which was hyped up to have Jennifer Aniston's boobs in it but, in fact, did not. So does he deliver a similar bait-and-switch with 1408? I would say, yes. The first third — maybe even the first half — is quite tense. You are very disturbed at the prospect of what might be lurking around the corner. But after the scares start materializing, they keep coming at such a pace that they become rather normal. And, as I have learned recently, if you want to keep things exciting, you need to avoid normalcy at all costs.
Something that you feel already
Just back from seeing Wilco at the Murat. Great show, featuring the rare (for me at least) double encore. Anyway, highly recommended band. I would write more but it's past my bedtime.
