I've been watching lots of movies. Yay. The Commitments (Erin go bragh!), Godforsaken (a Dutch film whose main character wore a White Sox jacket the whole time), A Midsummer Night's Rave (yet another modern Shakespeare with Andrew Keegan, this one, however, is not very good at all).
I also saw American Splendor, which was great. It was a messy, fragmented identity of a film. It's got voice-over narration by Harvey Pekar while Paul Giamatti plays the character Harvey Pekar as he is creating his comic book American Splendor starring the character Harvey Pekar, who is portrayed differently in the books by various illustrators. All the different levels is fascinating.
One part of narratives that I love is parallels and multi-leveled stories. I love in Possession how the modern researchers match the poets they investigate. I love how Willow's addiction to witchcraft is like a drug and also similar to Buffy's struggle with her relationship with Spike. I love the idea of Jesus as the new Adam, starting a new world, giving us a clean start.
