okay. last push back i swear.  this week we will be showing Punch-Drunk Love directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.  we’ve talked about it during several of the last screenings, and with There Will Be Blood still out in theaters, it seems like a good time to show it.  i suppose at this point its less of a stretch to think of Adam Sandler in a more serious role, but this is his first film that really shows his versatility.  Where he usually uses his abilities to be awkward and tense to create comic scenarios, here he uses them to create extremely uncomfortable and somewhat tragic moments. Punch-Drunk Love is a sort of haphazard and beautiful love story.

 

starting next week, we will begin our next series.  i promise.
