The Last Day

I've got Tim Blake Nelson's Leaves of Grass at 8:30 am (i.e., twelve minutes from now), Bruce Beresford's Mao's Last Dancer at 9 am if Nelson's film doesn't work out, Chris Smith's Collapse ( a said-to-be-gripping doc about forces and premonitions stirred by the economic meltdown of the last twelve months) at 10:15, Damjan Kazole's Slovenian Girl at 12 noon, and then we'll see where improvisation takes us the rest of the day and into the evening.

One of the cats who live in the home-of-a-friend where I've been staying for the last seven or eight days took a dump on my bed and pissed in an area close to my pillow. That's the cat's way of saying (a) "I'm not sure that I like the fact that you're staying here" and (b) "Perhaps you might consider moving out sooner rather than later?" I'm back to NYC tomorrow morning so he/she will be happy.

Or (c) "I'm going to be back next year. Save my spot." Sigh. The world would be less messy if only cats wore hats.

Haha. I read "cat" as the beatnik term which made the pooping all the more funny.

I saw Collapse. It was excellent. Two great and telling audience reactions. First: "Why did you make a movie about this paranoid moron?" Second: "I've worked in the oil and chemical industries for 50 years and every single thing he said is true."

Bullbrish, I was in that audience too. :-)

I really liked the film (although I did think the Errol Morris influence was pretty heavy--hell, even the s'track sounded like a Morris s'track) and I did come out of it puzzling over the question of whether Ruppert is a genius or a nutjob. I lean towards the the former, for the record.

Wells -- apparently that cat isn't a fan of your TIFF reviews.

(I like to guess that the cat was thinking, "What's wrong with snoring through a movie, you jerk?!")

More than likely the cat's litter hasn't been changed in a while and the feline's just fed up. It's an elimination thing, not a personal one.
