so, this isnt due until friday, right?
in response to the comment on my video...
ive seen adaptation, and loved it. charlie kauffman is probably in my top 5 favorite screenwriters of all time, behind wes anderson, owen wilson (both wrote rushmore and royal tenenbaums together), kevin smith (clerks), and maybe Richard Kelly. (donnie darko) i love his work, but i never seem to enjoy the endings of his films, but they grow on me. i watched Being John Malkovich again, and the ending was slightly more appealing after another viewing. i have eternal sunshine, but i havent watched it yet. i plan to soon though. kauffman has another movie coming out soon called "Synecdoche, New York" its the first film he's made that he is also directing. it looks good.

I can not get my video to work. I have tried several different ways and I guess I just don't get it. The only way I can show a video (that I can figure out at least) is if I do the video bar thing, but I want to have my video in a blog post....ahh
