1. Saw "Royal Tenenbaums" for the third time last night, and lemme tell ya, it never gets old. I hadn't really ever appreciated Gene Hackman's performance as much as I did last night; the last couple times I saw it, I was too busy studying every corner of every frame to pay attention to the actual acting. What a great movie; can't wait for the Criterion DVD, which should be coming out in a few months.

2. I had some time to kill before the movie started, so I wandered around in Virgin and bought 2 books: Gilliam on Gilliam, and the Miles Davis autobiography, both of which I've wanted for a while. I'm currently in a mid-level Gilliam obsession, so that's where my focus is.
