90s hits that are also new wave films

the corrs - breathless - jean luc godard
the cranberries - dreams - ingmar bergman

significance? i'm not sure. all i know is that i spent too much time reliving my natalie imbruglia love affair this morning (any movies named 'torn'??).

inception

i caught the opening of inception last night. i've been diligently recording my dreams and it was really nice to watch a movie that captured the essence of walking through a dream. walking out of the theater is exactly like waking up in a hazy stupor. the one exception is that my dream levels happen vertically instead of horizontally. you'll know what i mean when you see it.

transcript of a very strange conversation i had with the bro

him: i've been getting into this band called coconut records. have you heard of them?
me: no.... [discerns from wikipedia that it's fronted by jason schwartzman]. wow. you're so hip.
him: thanks. apparently the frontman's an actor too.
[silence]
me: ... you know he was an acclaimed actor first, right?
him: whatever.
me: have you seen rushmore?
him: is that a movie?

have i fallen into that age of making references that younger generations do not understand?

she draws him a boarding pass?!

i watched chungking express last night. as if the cranberries weren't already burned into an intense visceral memory of the 90s, now a cover version will also make me cry uncontrollably.
