gangs of NY
about 1/2 way through GONY…i can see why the reviews weren’t so great. seems like Scorsese was more interested in making it historically accurate than in telling a good story. also, with all the accents and weird language of the time, it’s almost impossible to understand what the characters are saying. i’ve got the subtitles turned on with the DVD, but it musta been confusing as hell in the theaters.
had my first L.A. traffic freak-out incident today. i thought i’d go blading @ hermosa beach, which is less than 20 miles away. so i get on 110N, and after a few miles it turns into a parking lot, barely crawling along for as long as the eye can see. f it, blading isn’t that important…turn around and give up. i suppose this might become a common thing down here.
