Last night’s movie was a bad choice on two accounts: too late, and too disturbing. As a result today’s morning was scrambled and short on time.

As much as I appreciate emotionally provocative work, intellectually — it doesn’t feel worth it unless framed by spectacle, e.g. midnight movie at theater with friends.
