Some folks really need to have their art force-fed to them. Two of my neighbors are discussing the movie Seven and one of them was saying that he did not understand certain parts of it. The discussion has also branched off into how the ending sucks and the car ride into the desert is too long and boring. How come no one understands the concept of dialogue anymore? Nowadays everything need to be explosions and sex and pretty people. Dialogue does not count for shit. The reason the ending is excellent is directly attributable to Kevin Spacey's performance in the car. It is ashame people don't understand the importance of words.

Speaking of movies, I bought Traffic for $8 on DVD at Blockbuster last night and Kim bought Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the same price. We rented and watched "Shadow of the Vampire". John Malkovich and Willem Defoe were excellent.
