Depressing weekend guide
I'm looking ahead to two days of too much work for days that start with "S." There's nothing at the Black Cat (well, except Mousetrap), nothing at the 9:30 and nothing at the Ottobar worth seeing this weekend. Of course, you can always catch Outfoxed at Visions if the Avalon's distance from the Metro kept you away before.
But let's forget documentaries this weekend, even if it is an election year. Everybody should go see Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. I'm sooo not kidding -- I saw it yesterday and laughed my ass off. You really should see it before it leaves theaters for good and you forget about it by the time it comes out on DVD.

I went to see Harlod and Kumar based on yours and everyone elses glowing reviews and I can honestly say it was the most depressing film I've ever seen. I literally wanted to cry during it like two or three times. I felt alienated in the theater as all these other people laughed and laughed but all I saw was a nihilistic mess splattered on screen. The fact two Asian guys were cast as the lead characters just seemed like a gimick by the end and every joke was so predictable by the time they got to the punchline I had known it for a good two minutes. I wish I could have enjoyed this movie, but it just made me very, very sad. I don't understand why I can't see it like everyone else does... and that just makes it even more depressing.
