It is Wednesday...

You know what I'm not a huge fan of?

Excessive narration.

I was watching Goodfellas yesterday, and although I enjoyed more than I did the last time I saw it (well, I enjoyed the second half a lot...), the first half was marred by Ray Liotta ALWAYS STATING THE OBVIOUS. See a scene with him enjoying his time performing duties for the mob, then immediately you hear tell you "being a gangster was great!" See him uninterested in his date, immediately hear him say "I wasn't really interested in my date last night." And his wife even gets on the narration action (which is sort of jarring after Liotta essentially narrating nonstop for 30 minutes), and even she does the same. Watch as Liotta reveals to her he's in nefarious activities by giving her a gun to hide, to which she starts to place her fingers around the gun, immediately she says "most ladies would be scared of this, but not me!"

These are examples off the top of my head (as in, they might not have actually occurred), but you get the idea. I don't know. I find it silly to essentially state the same thing twice, which is what the narration was doing in response to what was going on in the movie. See, the second half works a lot better, mainly because the narration isn't constant, and for the most part it seems warranted in moving the plot of the movie along.

In terms of Scorsese, I'd say that the top 5 looks like this:
1)Raging Bull
2)Taxi Driver
3)The King Of Comedy
4)The Last Temptation Of Christ
5)The Last Waltz (shut it)

I need to rewatch Mean Streets some time, and I still need to see Casino and other of his minor stuff.

Anyway... basically I am here to write that I probably won't be updating this for a while.

I'm going to WISCONSIN(!!!) for the 4th of July weekend, and then I might be going home after that... either that or accompanying my family to uncharted territories where internet doesn't exist. So I might not be able to find much time to write anything.

Not that it matters, since I don't have much to say anyway. Seriously, my routine has been waking up at noon and then dicking around for the rest of the day. It's fun, but kinda boring. And it's going to suck once the money runs out.
