i basically spent the weekend catching up on sleep and watching movies.

<p>on friday night, i finally watched <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0166924">Mulholland Dr.</a>, the new(est) david lynch movie. lynch is my favorite director and i&#8217;m ashamed that it took me this long to get around to seeing this one. pure genius. i&#8217;m really glad that i bought the <span class="caps">DVD</span> instead of just renting it because i&#8217;m going to have to watch it about 10 more times before i&#8217;ll have any clue about what went on. <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?Watts,+Naomi">Naomi Watts</a> really impressed me and i had no clue until after i poked around on imdb that she was Jet Girl in <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0114614">Tank Girl</a>, one of my all-time favorites.</p>

<p>on saturday it was <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0078788">Apocalypse Now (Redux)</a>. the extra footage makes it much longer and slower in some spots but definately improves the overall experience. </p>

<p>sunday afternoon i somehow got sucked into some action movie with Dolph Lundgren fighting insane, genetically altered escaped prisoners in some post-earthquake/apocalypse desert world. i don&#8217;t even remember what it was called and, honestly, the less remembered, the better.</p>

<p>finally, last night i watched <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0171804">Boys Don&#8217;t Cry</a> because it was on TV and i hadn&#8217;t seen it before. powerful movie. love that cheerful ending.</p>
