But do we speak or are we just nodding our heads
Literally just got back from seeing THE DARJEELING LIMITED and it was completely fantastic; one of the most entertaining experiences I've had at the cinema in ages. It's much more structured and intentional than Wes Anderson's usual output but equally as funny and quirky. Touching, beautifully shot, well written/acted; everything you need in a solid trip to the cinema.See it at your soonest possible convenience.

Oh god oh god THE SOPRANOS is over and the last episode made this overtly clear by not allowing Tony to finish his final sentence. All in all, though, I admire and respect the way in which it ended. It had all the underlying suggestion that made the show so special as well as a cynicism that neutered any potential sentimentality finales often court. Maybe implying that the whole family were moments away from being murdered before cutting to black was a touch brutal, but insinuation rather than actual examples was one of show's strongest dramatic elements. Sure it pissed off all the people that thought The Sopranos was about gangsters, but they've been missing the point for six series so who cares. I'm just depressed that another HBO show is over and the TV renaissance they've been spearheading for years is rapidly coming to a close. One more series of The Wire to come in January and then it's over. Fuck :/

In other news, I have a presentation on Monday and I've yet to read the book (The Beetle by Marsh) or steel myself for the inevitable shtting-of-pants presentations inspire in me. Mass Effect should be coming in the mail tomorrow, though, so at least I'll be able to procrastinate in an eye-bleedingly pretty way.
