Watch out for this lameness:<\/p>\n
“Flogosphere”<\/p>\n
Definition: “the film blogosphere”; that is, the pile of people rambling about films via their blogs.<\/p>\n
And on that note – I saw Sideways<\/a> last night, and it is a fantastic flick. The wallet-snatching scene is one of the funniest things I have seen in a movie in a long, long time. If you like About Schmidt<\/a>, you will definitely like Sideways.<\/p>\n Memorable exchange from the movie:<\/p>\n \nMiles Raymond: Well, the world doesn’t give a shit what I have to say. I’m not necessary. Had. I’m so insignificant I can’t even kill myself.<\/p>\n Jack: Miles, what the hell is that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n Miles Raymond: Come on, man. You know. Hemingway, Sexton, Plath, Woolf. You can’t kill yourself before you’re even published.<\/p>\n Jack: What about the guy who wrote “Confederacy of Dunces”? He killed himself before he was published. Look how famous he is.<\/p>\n Miles Raymond: Thanks.<\/p>\n Jack: Just don’t give up, alright? You’re gonna make it.<\/p>\n Miles Raymond: Half my life is over and I have nothing to show for it. Nothing. I’ma thumbprint on the window of a skyscraper. I’m a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea with a million tons of raw sewage.<\/p>\n Jack: See? Right there. Just what you just said. That is beautiful. ‘A smudge of excrement… surging out to sea.’<\/p>\n Miles Raymond: Yeah.<\/p>\n Jack: I could never write that.<\/p>\n Miles Raymond: Neither could I, actually. I think it’s Bukowsky.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Watch out for this lameness: “Flogosphere” Definition: “the film blogosphere”; that is, the pile of people rambling about films via their blogs.
