Girlie Tunes.

Normally I am all about the melancholy boys. But yesterday I got the new Beth Orton “Comfort of Strangers” and the finally-released-in-the-states KT Tunstall “Eye to the Telescope.” Add those to Cat Power and Jenny Lewis and it’s a very girlie month here in February, that it is.

I sooooooooooo disagree.

I usually think Michael Schaub is a God. And yes, his “screenplay” of Crash did make me bust out laughing. But in this case, he’s wrong. It’s a much better movie than Me, You and Everyone We Know. Which was desperate, sad, pathetic and ICKY. Those of you who liked Napoleon Dynamite — another sad, desperate and PAINFUL movie — you might like it. Painful, and painfully NOT funny. Both of them.
