video binge update

*inhales deeply*

ryan gosling is incredible.

i just finished "the united states of leland" and highly recommend it. there's one part at the very end that is slightly disturbing yet open to interpretation i suppose, but other than that, it's so beautifully painful. or is it painfully beautiful? this character is what i would probably become if i just let myself internalize life as much as i'm prone to. meaning if i didn't have distractions, like a job and relationships and other responsibilities. i mean, who he is and what he feels just makes so much sense. you can totally rationalize away or endure/ignore your own pain but if you really sat down and thought about someone else's life, you might become this desperate.

after that, i couldn't really handle macarthur park yet. it'll wait till tomorrow. too much reality! i need escapism!!! that's why i hopped online, of course. another phelps fix.
