Watched the film adaptation of Augusten Burroughs's Running with Scissors last night -- the whole thing plunged at me from the screen like a horrible, mirror-world Royal Tennenbaums, which is both positive and negative. Jospeh Cross and Evan Rachel Wood were very good. Brian Cox was possibly a parody of himself. Joseph Fiennes was sort of unrecognizeable, but he's never been my favourite Fiennes. Gwyneth Paltrow? Check. Annette Benning was almost too good, I thought she walked the line a bit. Cinematography was decent, walked the line of the "faux indie" genre.
Watched I (Heart) Huckabees again, just half an hour again. Very good on the second viewing.
About to start Guy Maddin's Dracula, Pages from a Virgin's Diary.

Can you put it on hold for me at the PL?
