It only takes 5 minutes

of watching The Truth about Cats & Dogs to be reminded of what a genius that Janeane Garofalo is. Too bad about Air America.

Went to see the motion picture version of Running with Scissors today. Gotta say this is one occasion where I may have enjoyed the film more than the book upon which it was based. Burroughs writing in Scissors always seemed exaggerated and just a little too over the top to be true. The movie does a good job of making the situation feel uncomfortable, bizarre, and slightly dangerous, but I never got the feeling that it couldn't really happen to someone the way I felt when reading the book.

Sure, they leave out most of the graphic sex descriptions, but that's why you've got that imagination of ours. You can fill in the details.
