That is so awesome I just may die.<br /> <br /> Yeah, Solaris really wasn't a big hit. Though I don't really know how it could have been, considering it was a sci-fi movie without any action, essentially a psychological tale, told subtly, about the horrors of memory. That most of the advertising around the film centred around the fact that you got to see George Clooney's ass (uh, hooray?) sure shows that they had no idea how to sell it.<br /> <br /> All that said, it was certainly a flawed film. I don't think the script holds up as well as it should. But it's high concept, beautifully shot, artistically ambitious and very thought-provoking. Well worth my time.<br /> <br /> Matt Stef leaving comments! That is so awesome I just may die.

You're the first person I've heard talk about it. It's basically a blip in the movie world as far as popularity goes and I saw it by accident. (I snuck into it after another movie...yeah I know I feel bad, considering the first movie which I paid to see, sucked ASS.) Anyway Intolerable Cruelty was better and more memorable than most romantic comedies, but I felt there was too much emphasis on the satire. It made the characters unbelievable and at times, boring. It reminded me about "Down with Love" also a play on the romantic comedy. Anyway that's just what I think. I really liked Solaris! You’re the first person I’ve heard talk about it.

I think it's best that I just let my imagination fill in all of the things girls have to do in the shower. The reality of it is probably way more boring.<br /> <br /> But yeah, I do the shampooing amnesia thing too. The way I figure it though, is that the instructions generally say that washing your hair TWICE is just fine (if not a bit of shampoo waster), and I have enough hair that I probably miss a lot the first time anyway.

It's painful. I can't leave the house with an unmade bed. Its like, what if someone breaks in? And sees that I'm a slob?

Plus I always wanted you to be as comfortable as possible when you fell asleep on my bed. I’m a good host like that.
