Angst!athon

[synapticjava]

So, yesterday I splurged and bought new headphones for my mp3 player - I broke the old set on New Year's Eve, along with four new DVDs to amuse myself with. I watched two of them yesterday, and two today. The first one was Jawbreakers - It's totally stupid and campy and tragically bad, but I love that movie. The other three were movies I'd heard really good things about but had never gotten around to seeing them. Rules of Attraction, Hanging Up, and Forces of Nature. All three were deliciously enjoyable. Rules of Attraction reminded me so much Barat, what with the parties and wh0ring. That was just a beautiful, if not wrist-slittingly depressing, movie. Hanging Up I watched first today. I love all of the actresses in it, and they all did a really good job with it. That movie, too, was mostly depressing. Then I watched Forces of Nature with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck - both of whom, I really like. Also a movie with sad undercurrents. WTF? All of them were really good movies, and I'm glad I bought them (they were in the clearance bins), but what the hell? Looking at my DVD rack, which is overflowing now, a good 90% are angst!films. Requiem for a Dream, Donnie Darko, Muhulland Drive, Final Cut, Angels in America, Gattaca, The Talanted Mr. Ripley, American Psycho, and that's just a small fraction. And don't forget the box sets - Buffy, Firefly, Matrix, Angel, Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet. Apparently, I'm a glutton for angst (not that you could ever know that by reading my fic *rolls eyes*.

Which could possibly do well to explain the mood I'm in at the moment. hmph.

Ah well, Matt just called. We're meeting for drinks. And he's mad that I'm mad that he's dating this guy. This should go well, I think.
