I saw In Good Company tonight and it was very good. It was the first great movie I've seen in a long time that's greatness wasn't defined by unnecessary darkness and innane photography. You know the movies I'm talking about. The camera pans around at everything on the face of the planet besides the characters. You know why these 'great artistic films' do this??? Because there is nothing else for them to do. There is no plot or characters for the movie-goer to watch, so the director provides them with those types of images that come to mind when listening to The Dark Side of the Moon. Yeah you know. And people just gush over that shit, and sometimes so do I--to impress girls. Um yeah, whatever. In Good Company is really good in the best way possible.

In a slightly related note Scarlett Johansson is beautiful. The word beautiful doesn't even come close. Just watching her makes me put both hands over my heart (or where my heart would be if I weren't an emotional vacuum of a man who is looking on on life I may be doomed never to find, anyways) ...hands on my chest, sorta lean back in my chair a little bit, look up into space and pray to God that I'll ever be worthy of anyone as perfect as Scarlett Johansson. Usually, I'm not this way. I'm never this way.

It's been so long since I've talked to a girl and thought 'you are so beautiful in every way, I'd love to be with you'. There have been a few girls who I've seen and thought 'you are beautiful, I'd love to have sex with you and then brag to my friends about it'. But no such luck for the first thing--the talking part, at least in awhile. And I guess Scarlett Johansson reminds me that women like her do exist--the girl you can start a conversation with and by the end you're in love with her. Not that I don't have plenty of women in my life who I could have these 'love-inducing' conversations with, but, for whatever reason, it didn't work that way. It's just nice to know that I'm not already on the friends ladder of every girl I could fall in love with, or something like that. Who knows what I'm saying. I need a good long surf.
