I don't have a problem with storytellers requiring a certain suspension of belief as long as it's not disruptive to the narrative, however it seems to be standard practice for politicians to expect us to grant them a suspension of reality. They don't get that from me.

White Reindeer.

http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/White...trkid=13641907

This movie was a trip.

It's what I would call a dark comedy.

I get tired oh watching movies that feel like you've seen them before because you have seen so many like it.

This was different.

I suspect people will either love it, or hate it.

I loved it.

Plus I'm in love with the actress that plays the main character.

She is awesome.

Isn't it amazing how movies that were so acclaimed back in the 70's seem so dorky today?

The thing I find most interesting is how we (I) regarded the Fonda and Hopper characters as heroes and were outraged by their death at the hands of a couple of Florida rednecks. I mean, sure, the rednecks were despicable, as were the ones who killed the Nicholson character earlier in the film but heroes? Shit, they were just a couple of drug mules. That didn't seem to bother us back them.

I never liked Billy Jack because he looked like Tech Sergeant McDougal, one of my Drill Instructors from basic, and I hated that SOB.

I'm re-watching Breaking Bad. I'm finding it's even better second time around. Gus and Pinkman are my favorite characters.... Just finished season four.
