I finished off my first batch of four with Spider (read: Oedipus) and Punch (read: Electra), each featuring brutal and amazing performances by the leads. Zip has now sent me Elephant and Big Fish, both of which we’ve wanted to see for a long time and just weren’t able to track down at our local rental shop. They’ve also just slipped Secretary and Swimming Pool in the mail for us. Now that hockey’s over and the Flames have lost (damn unreviewed game-winning goal!) I’ll have more TV-watching time available. And once Euro2004 and the NBA finals wrap up, and my wife’s done watching Queer As Folk, the cable’s gettin’ yanked!!

Uh, if you know what I mean…
