I'll have to go watch this next Friday. All of the screenings near my neighborhood were sold out and I didn't want to travel much. This makes me happy. I only just saw Mad Max recently and it was fantastic.

I liked Appetite when I was younger, but I ended up loving UYI I and II more as I got older. I love those two records the most from their heyday. I thought Chinese was a great progression from that, but I know I'm in the minority unless I start lurking various GN'R message boards. I thought Izzy was more important to the the band than Slash was.
"The Shawshank Redemption", "There Will Be Blood", "It's a Wonderful Life", "Memento", and "Rashomon".
I saw Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" (2012) for the first time yesterday. I need some time to really decide on how great of a film it is. It's definitely more dense than "There Will Be Blood"
In theaters? "Foxcatcher" and "Birdman". "Birdman" was phenomenal; hope Keaton gets the best actor oscar. Carell was great portraying John DuPont, though, at times it felt like the character was fitted more for him as an actor, rather than Carell accurately portraying DuPont. Either way, Carell's acting was great too.
If just last movie watched overall, that would have to be "The Room". Watched it again last night. I've watched it seven times. It never stops being funny. Tommy Wiseau is a true polymath.
I studied English literature when I received my A.A.; I studied English (with a focus on Victorian literature) with a minor in Philosophy for my B.A.
I'm currently a graduate student gunning for an M.A. in British and American literature. I'll more than likely be finished by the end of next year or by the spring of 2017.
I've had a genuine love of literature ever since I was a child, and writing 15-20 page research papers excites me. I didn't expect an immediate job when I got out of college (I'm a dog walker), but I would like to eventually pursue a doctorate in lit, with my specialization in 20th century American literature, despite how bad the job market is for those in the humanities, especially in Academia (or so professors have liked to tell me for the past six years.
I guess you could say I had an "epiphany" or an "experience of the divine" that led me to truly believing in God; I'm a Roman Catholic. I was raised as a Catholic initially, but dabbled with the Jehovah's Witness' and dabbled with some mainline evangelical Christianity when I was younger, but I ultimately decided on Roman Catholicism after much thought.
Life isn't and doesn't get any easier sometimes, with all the suffering in the world, big and small, but I take great comfort in my religious beliefs when I look to Christ even when I have a "dark night of the soul". I like to evangelize through my actions rather than proselytize; I take Christ's love as a constant invitation: "come and see".
I've been told I'm "handsome" and "good looking", but I've never honestly regarded myself as physically attractive. I never have. I find it more endearing to communicate and interact with people with a lot of humility; I have often seen people who are "average looking" are indeed more sincere and humble, but that's not always the case. I think looking or reading too much into causes a lot of unnecessary envy.
