I saw the episode of The Simpsons the other day, when Homer takes a bite of a Krusty Burger Ribwich, and has a very "Requiem" moment. Now that makes me laugh, whereas the movie haunted me for MONTHS. I still can't believe Julia Roberts won the Oscar over Ellen Burstyn that year.

(and "clockwatchers" is too much like actual jobs I've had for me to not cringe most of the way through it - although I loved Toni Collette in it)

Aww, I kind of liked "Requiem". I don't know that I'd watch it again, though.

I liked Parker Posey in "Clockwatchers" too.

requiem for a dream -

- how about i just beat you over the head with a hammer while screaming "drugs are bad!" for two hours.

i promise you will enjoy that more than watching requiem for a dream.

i like to refer to any weirdly close sibling relationship as "house of yes". as in, "they're so house of yes." for instance, my ex and his sister: waaaaay too house of yes. recent picture of me & my brother: http://pics.livejournal.com/julieinmiami/pic/0004sq06/g16, captioned thusly: "we are SO house of yes in this picture." i'm glad you saw it. it is indeed brilliant.

This is an OLD movie, but I'm just getting around to seeing it.
