(flickr) The many hats of The Brothers Bloom.

The story meandered at times but overall it was a very thrilling and pretty film. Prettier than Brick (thanks to a much bigger budget, obvs) but showing a similar love of symbols and philosophical questions like ‘what is truth? what is performance? etc’

It had the aesthetic of a Wes Anderson production (the costumes! the fonts!), yet was pleasantly messy in its display of emotion.

I’m a little worried that a bigger budget will distract Rian Johnson from continuing to do that thing I so loved about Brick, but I’ll give him a chance and in the mean time enjoy the pretty.

Well.. you can go see this (I haven’t) or you could see The Messenger (saw it last night), which actually handles the topic of soldiers coming back so delicately and even-handedly it’s dumbfounding how emotional it is. There’s no (real) violence in it and the stern brooding and mania are so realistic that in contrast Tobey Maguire in the Brothers trailer seems utterly ludicrous.

I was initially hesitant because most political films frustrate and depress me, but The Messenger let me cry without leaving me feeling too lost. It never over-shared (cutting the scenes that we could guess or estimate), rarely went in the direction you’d expect, but nevertheless wrapping up every story line in a way that offered relief, if not complete satisfaction.

For a movie that could probably be retold in a single sentence, I haven’t seen something that triggered so many thoughts about death, war, mourning, and masculinity in a very long time.

Please see it.

courtneyc:

I’m always excited for client launches, but this one is particularly cool. The Rent The Runway beta launched this week. It’s like Netflix for dresses: rent a dress, wear it, and throw it back in the mail. I took a Brian Reyes dress for a spin at a recent wedding and it was awesome. Congrats Jenn and Jenny! [And if you’d like an invite let me know at courtney at hardcandyshell dot com]

This is really neat. I’ve never rented a dress before (never had an occasion worthy of it, maybe?) but this is surprisingly affordable, versatile, and seemingly easy to use. I may splurge for this when I attend my friend’s wedding next year.

I just signed up and can also e-mail an invite if anyone needs it - who is ksen @ gmail.com

I recently saw Man Hunt (1941) and - just like a woman - was very excited about finding an arrow pin similar to the leading lady’s version.

I think I found one. In the mean time, however, I also found this**.

That is not the Buddhist symbol of peace and it certainly is not just a pin with some “Southwest Whirling Logs.”

Come on “rescued_memories,” this is not ok!
