well, shit.
On occasion, I feel particularly uninspired...which is very disconcerting and depressing. Most of the time I can't wait to get home from work and write about the pop culture world at large. But the well is empty. I have nothing for you.
Perhaps I'm wasting too much time and energy on Twitter. It could also be that I've been staying up too late every night, watching a variety of shows online. Or perhaps it has been the lack of quality films released during the last few months, ostensibly removing one of my favorite activities/pastimes from the menu and quelling my overall enthusiasm for going to the movies.
I know I've hit a serious wall because I can't even muster up a new Lost entry for my other blog, which I've been trying to do for days in anticipation of tomorrow night's return. I believe that I have blog block, an updated twist on traditional writer's block.
There isn't a real explanation or excuse. I just don't want to bore you, so I'll be back when something finally ignites and excites.
[update: My mom called to see if I was okay after reading this. I'm fine. I simply hit a rough creative patch and shared too much, as usual. But I appreciate those of you who expressed concern.]
The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - I highly recommend. It is 3 hours and feels long, but worth it. I'm on the fence about Brad's performance. He nails the look of Jesse being able to tell that someone is lying to him, but he doesnt scream Jesse James to me. Casey's performance was awesome. I think his portrayal of RF makes the film, hands down. Add in the fascination of JJ (not Abrams) as an icon and the events surrounding his early death and you've got a great flick.
