Semi-random thoughts

• I was reading one of the blogs on my blogroll recently. The writer used the wrong word for something, and I left a comment, hoping she would correct it. I would have been perfectly happy if she just corrected it and deleted my comment--I wasn't looking for a public thank you. Instead, she criticized me for trying to help. I have deleted her blog from my list. I see no reason to help promote her work.
• I wish Twitter and Facebook had filters that prevented pictures of people's pets from appearing on my feeds.
• It's always a little weird when I get home very late and the doorman greets me with "Good morning," and then we say "Good night" when I get in the elevator.
• Every time I go to a show at Joe's Pub someone at my table spills a drink on me. It's happened the last three times I went there.

Micro movie reviews

Three from the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema:

Farewell, My Queen (Les adieux à la reine)--A well-made but totally fictional tale of a lady-in-waiting of Marie Antoinette's in the first days of the French revolution. Worth your time.

Here Below (Ici-bas)--The pointless story, supposedly based on a real incident, of a crazy nun (she sees visions) who falls in love with a priest, who is working for the French resistance in World War II. Don't bother.

The Well-Digger's Daughter (La fille du puisatier)--The best of the lot. Daniel Auteuil stars in and directs (his first time) this remake of a classic Pagnol film from 1940. A bit melodramatic, it does capture a simple man's quest for honor in southern France at the beginning of World War I.

Let's hear it for Carbonite

I have been using Carbonite for years to automatically back-up my hard drive. It works great. But for a while I've been troubled by the fact that it advertises on right-wing idiot commentator Rush Limbaugh's radio program.

Now I can feel better about using Carbonite--it is pulling its ads. Carbonite is one of several advertisers to drop Limbaugh after he branded a law student a slut and a prostitute because she called for birth control coverage under the health plans of religious institutions like her university. After several days, Limbaugh has issued a semi-apology, but that was not enough for Carbonite to reconsider.

Yay, Carbonite!

I'm behind on these.

• Crazy Horse--a long, Frederick Wiseman (i.e. narrationless) documentary on the Paris nightclub. Long on sexy, nearly naked dancing, short on the dancers' stories.
• Shame--the story of a super-handsome guy with a sex addiction and a crazy sister. Not a sympathetic, or even half-way interesting, character in the whole film.
• The Iron Lady--excellent Streep performance, lousy film.
