I finally updated the picture of the week for The La. We haven’t taken any new ones of The Boy since Xmas, so I dug up one of him playing ping pong and Pascal and Sybil’s annual party this past December.
I went to see Narc on Saturday night with R., hAndy, Casey and Butter. It was pretty good. I give it a B/B+. I also watched Training Day, Beautiful Mind, Startup.com, and Dial M for Murder over the last few days on either cable or video rental. I have to say that Training Day and Beautiful Mind were both overrated. Startup.com underscored the absurdity of the dot-com frenzy. I just kept laughing through the whole thing. Seeing Dial M for Murder again reminded me of the genius of Hitchcock. If you’ve never seen any of his stuff other than Psycho, you need to get to the nearest video store. I suggest Saboteur, Notorious, North By Northwest, Dial M for Murder, Rope, The Trouble with Harry, Rear Window, and Vertigo.
