Prospie night. Our prospie's from Upstate NY, and is currently cavorting down the Mag Mile of Chicago. I turned on my comp w/ intention to work on essay, and instead have been hanging about online. Little kids came around to trick or treat tonight. Gave them lots of candy. Save M&Ms for myself and roomie, however.
Hmm... appears as though I didn't give review of Thin Red Line, which I watched on Sunday. Hmm... it was trying to deep and symbolic in an annoying "hey, lookatme! I'm deep and symbolic!" sort of way, and it spread itself too thin... trying to give overreaching messages about war does not work when it's just Guadacanal. Lots of random unrecognizable characters, ppl who get 2 min scenes and then disappear forever, and most of the time, you have no idea what's going on. The Japanese actually speak Japanese, which is nice, and overall, the battle and carnage are strangely muted. (I think part of the whole deep symbolism thing). I dunno. Just really confusing.
