And as for Ed Baker's condescending dismissal of such great works as "Michael Clayton" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou" as dreck---you give his benighted and limited perspective more attention than it deserves.<br />TPWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-55345895430846381362009-08-14T11:57:46.296-04:002009-08-14T11:57:46.296-04:00I watched "Napoleon Dynamite" and didn&#...I watched "Napoleon Dynamite" and didn't laugh once. The next day, however, my head could not stop trying to figure out what it had seen. Uncle Rico, "Do the chickens have large talons?" drawing ligers, Vote for Pedro, the llamas, all of it so quirky in a blatantly understated way (if there can be such a thing), I didn't start laughing until 12 hours after the movie was over.-K-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03289562368002376807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-60673754986595148012009-08-13T21:15:15.729-04:002009-08-13T21:15:15.729-04:00Ed, which is the "schlock/dreck"—my maki...Ed, which is the "schlock/dreck"—my making lists of favorite books or movies or art etc. like this one, or the actual movies I chose? If it's the latter, what a blanket judgement. Not worthy of you to my mind. If it's my lists, or lists in general, why bother with your own poetry and other writing, which more often than not involves list making. Unless you mean all writing is "schlock/dreck" or...<br />Anyway, like most poets (and I suspect most people) I love lists, and since this is my blog, I share them.<br />And yes, the way I remember the lists I use to help me fall asleep is by doing them alphabetically. I actually picture the alphabet and then search my memory for something (or someone in some lists) that fits the parameters I make up for each one and starts with that letter. <br />(sometimes I look up details the next day to make sure I remember it correctly, like I thought of GROSSE POINT BLANK last night when I was first making an alphabet list, but wasn't sure it was made in the past nine years so I left it off, before I switched to the triplets one (and found out today that my doubts were correct, it came out in the '90s).<br />Etc.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-12947930243896820942009-08-13T18:38:50.548-04:002009-08-13T18:38:50.548-04:00you actually
