It was parts funny, parts cute, parts sentimental, but I liked &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401711/"&gt;Paris, Je T’aime&lt;/a&gt; better as a whole. The intertwining of each director’s selection instead of just showing them sequentially was a bit forced…but I think my faves were the one with Anton Yelchin and Olivia Thirlby, the one Natalie Portman directed, and the one Fatih Akin directed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FYI New Yorkers&lt;/b&gt;:  If ever you want to see a movie in theaters but not quite enough to pay $12 for it, get breakfast early on the weekend and go see it for half price at any AMC/Loews theater before noon. Kips Bay is my favorite because they seem to get all new releases, put at least one showing of it between 11 and noon, and there will be like 5 other people in the theater with you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/222439185</link><guid>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/222439185</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:06:31 -0400</pubDate><category>movies</category><category>nyc</category><category>tips</category></item><item><title>warning: emo moment ahead</title><description>I feel like this is the only place I can scream “BOYS (who really should be men) CAN BE SUCH...</description><link>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/221518477</link><guid>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/221518477</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:59:29 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Found this when I turned on satellite view while exploring my...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krmtntuWvr1qz7iruo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Found this when I turned on satellite view while exploring my neighborhood in Google maps.

The review blurb on the cover is pretty accurate, I guess. It was only when I just went to go find a picture of the cover that I saw that. My copy was from the library, thus solid colored and jacketless. I was going to say that the stories were absurd, whimsical, gruesome, and sometimes ordinary all at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477139/"&gt;Wristcutters&lt;/a&gt;, based on one of his stories from another collection, made me want to check out his writing style since I loved the movie so much. I’ve been meaning to do so for awhile, and while I liked the stories enough, I wasn’t blown away by this collection. It could be that I just don’t know enough about Israeli culture to relate to the characters/settings and didn’t quite &lt;i&gt;get&lt;/i&gt; his sense of humor. Glad I read it, but I’m not sure I’ll be going back for more except maybe to check out &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Pizzeria-Kamikaze-Etgar-Keret/dp/1891867903"&gt;Pizzeria Kamikaze&lt;/a&gt; (graphic novel collaboration).&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/175231651</link><guid>http://blerg.tumblr.com/post/175231651</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:57:00 -0400</pubDate><category>books</category><category>reading</category><category>reviews</category></item><item><title>Great show…but it seems that everytime I go to see a band...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp55azTwD41qz7iruo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great show…but it seems that everytime I go to see a band I have liked for a long time and just haven’t had the chance to catch before for whatever reason, they never play one of my favorite songs. I’m not the shout-out-a-request type, so maybe I should start taking a sign with me that says “Play [insert fave song here]!”&lt;/p&gt;
