Your shit is secure
Sep. 27th, 2008 02:17 pmJust got back from seeing "Burn After Reading" and I give it two big thumbs up. I'm torn between Clooney and Pitt as my favorite performance in the film because they were both fucking brilliant. If you're a fan of dark comedy it is a must see, take my word for it.
( In other news SGA was spectacular last night, no one could be more shocked about this than I... )
As for my continuing obsession with House, well let's just say that the episode where he gives himself a migraine to prove a point and then takes a shower while tripping on LSD cemented a couple of things for me. First, that I cannot begrudge any female character on the show who throws herself shamelessly at his feet. Second, by the end of the episode it became apparent to me, blindingly so, that House is a Gemini. I popped on over to Wikipedia and sure enough his birthday is given as June 11, 3 days before mine. Like does indeed know like.
It explained a lot to me, how I could always understand why he was doing something and what he was feeling at any given moment...more so than with any other character I can think of. And beyond that, why I always sympathize and forgive him, whether or not he deserves that forgiveness. He's sort of the uber-Gemini, if we let our natural inclinations run wild...and are born geniuses, of course. Now when I comment that Geminis are considered the most cruel of the astrological signs I can easily point to him as an exemplar. We all have the potential to be that vicious, thankfully most of us choose not to be :)
If I hadn't figured it out on my own this Wilson quote would've nailed it for me:
"You know how some doctors have the Messiah complex, they need to save the world? You've got the Rubik's complex, you need to solve the puzzle."
