Last night, I finally watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I had been planning to watch this film for years, and thank goodness I finally did-- I don't think I could have forgiven myself had I deprived my life of it any longer. If you haven't seen it yet, do immediately. It is on Netflix Play Instantly. It was hands down the best ensemble character cast I have ever seen. Each actor is absolutely brilliant, bringing poignance, depth, and a good heap of madness to every role. There was not a single weak performance in the bunch, down to the smallest parts.
Holy shit, it was great.
In the IMDB search that inevitably follows every brilliant film I see (and every fictional character I fall in love with-- that's you, Billy Babbit), I discovered this:
Billy Babbit and evil Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings are the same person! Gahhhh NOO!
This discovery broke my heart. And also greatly intrigued me. But mostly broke my heart.
2.
I have decided to write a poem every day of March. That is 31 poems in 31 days. By posting it on here, that means I have to do it. Otherwise, I'll have told everyone I will and then just end up looking like a fool if I don't follow through. SO point being, if you see me on a given day and I have not written a poem, give me a hearty slap. Hand me a pen and paper. Or just ask me what I have written lately, and then I'll get more excited about writing more.
I wrote two poems last night (one of which was about Billy Babbit; I do love my imaginary boys), so I am better than on schedule. However, that really means nothing as it is only March 2nd. But seriously. I'm going to do this. Fo realz.
Yikes...
3. PROMPT TIME
From now on, I'm just going to post writing prompts as opposed to specific questions. You can use them how you wish-- write a poem, a song, a short story, a computer science article, whatever. If you want to share them with me, that would be lovely. If not, that's cool too. I just think one can never have enough writing prompts at his or her disposal.
Prompt: Write about this image.
Love,
