Brian's quite remarkable blog of wonder.

So I've recently gotten a metric shit ton of money (my tax refund last week, plus two huge paychecks on Tuesday) and so I've been spending a lot on movies and stuff. Today I went downtown and bought two CDs; one a compilation by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who are playing at the IC Arts Fest in a few weeks, and the other Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie. I also picked up As Good As It Gets on DVD. So then I went home and "logged on" to the "interWeb" and "pointed my browser" to "amazon.com," at which web site I purchased six more DVDs (I'm really working on expanding my collection, now that I have a new DVD player). Those are: American Beauty (Thora Birch is waycool), But I'm a Cheerleader (an excellent and hilarious indie film about homosexuality in an intolerant society), Contact (the smartest and most poignant science fiction movie ever), Dr. Strangelove (the best comedies are the dark and serious ones), Love and Death (absolutely vintage Woody Allen), and The Secret of NIMH (one of Don Bluth's few non-crap films, it has the real spirit of a rogue animation team defecting from the evil clutches of Disney. Plus, it's a great 80s nostalgia fantasy movie).

Yay, when I get these I'll have 19 movies on DVD.
