Today is for random thoughts:

• I watched Safe (imdb | rotten tomatoes) the other day. It was weird, certainly. Very hard to watch. I don’t like it when I’m not quite smart enough to figure out what the movie was trying to tell me. Maybe I just wasn’t close enough to the 80s to understand what he was getting at. Maybe she really did get sick and the movie was a critique of the early (and ongoing) skepticism about the environment. Maybe she only got sick because her mind was rebelling against the pointlessness and vacuity of her 80s life. I vote for the latter.
• I’m quickly losing interest in Pitchfork. First, they still have no RSS feed, which basically excludes them from my daily reading. Second, they’ve become so interested in their own coolness that the site now feels very exclusionary, rather than the inclusive mood I felt when I first started reading it 5 years ago. I far prefer to get my music info from Chromewaves (I think Frank is my long-lost brother), Largehearted Boy, the Anti-Hit List, etc.
• We’ve been completely slack with our movie watching lately. Our zip movies are gathering dust next to our TV, we haven’t seen anything in the theatre in weeks. Our February has been crazy busy, and March isn’t looking much better.
