ALEYSA and I finally went to see Harmony Korine's
MISTER LONELY last night.
The theatre was empty and we drank wine during the movie. It was amazing - it was like how rich people with home theatres watch movies.
The movie was very stylish and had some really beautiful moments like the flying nuns and Marilyn Monroe and Shirley Temple in the woods being pushed on a swing by Little Red Riding Hood. I think, though, that it would have been better if there was no dialogue - the visuals told the whole story, and the dialogue was pretty redundant. Except for the scene with the priest and the adulterer.
Anyway, we got restless and tipsy and the following images are the result of a perfect storm of fun:

SAMANTHA MORTON! I could watch her take a dump and be mesmerized.

I don't know what happened to her in Mr. Lonely, though...
She's obviously a great actor (Morvern Callar), so I'm guessing Harmony Korine gave her strange direction which resulted in acting like she was acting and it was distracting.
