4KS gives thanks.
this week is a time to stop and appreciate all the blessings we enjoy. first and foremost, the 4KS staff is thankful for the livelihood and companionship of our good friend, jeremy "saucy" sellers. he's handsome, sweet, pudgy, embittered, slightly dimwitted...and we love him dearly. let our ceaseless mockery never bring that into question.
we raise a glass to you, sauceface. cheers.
ps- i'm up in philly visiting my sister, and we had the chance to see the new noah baumbach movie, "the squid and the whale". it's like whit stillman crossed with wes anderson. see it, it's wonderful.

Thanks, mikey. Also, thanks for calling me pudgey and not fat.
The Squid and the Whale SUCKS. The only good part was the tennis instructor. It was like a Wes Anderson rip-off without any warmth. Thanks for making a cast of really unlikeable characters.
i'm disappointed in you, christa. that movie was great.
first off, both the sons are totally likeable and/or relatable. i also thought the mother was very much redeemed by the end. only the father was unlikeable, and he was poignantly so. all four characters displayed debth, and i thought the interraction between them was fairly realistic portrayal of the complexity of relationships. i'm sorry that it wasn't cuddly and slapstick enough for you, christa, but that's not the movie's fault.
wes anderson did produce the movie, so i guess he ripped himself off. I liked it, the dad was a dick, but all of the other characters redeemed themselves. lots in common with tenenbaums, even the tennis, but no ben stiller/ owen wilson schtick.

baumbach also co-wrote "life aquatic", so those guys definitely are not strangers. i thought it was shot kinda like a wes anderson flick, particularly at the beginning, but i thought on the whole it was going for something a little different: less comedy and more drama/character development.
ps- i rescind the last sentence of my previous comment as an unwarranted personal attack.
I caught a matinee of Squid and Whale and several of the blue hairs in the audience got up and left after the second or third semen reference. That was pretty funny.
I guess I just expected more out of Laura Linney. I love her so much in everything else, even Tales of the City.
Christa T,
Speaking of Laura Linney, am I the only person who counts "You Can Count On Me" among the best movies of all time? I think it is her best movie.
Yeah man, "You Can Count On Me" is great. I loved the soundtrack, too. Great songs...Broderick was surprisingly good in it, as well.
Oh, that movie is awesome. I think that's her best. Fuck Kinsey. Although she's very good in that too.
