Borrowing a bit from CamiKaos, I have to tell you about the movie I watched tonight. It was great! Bizarre, and twisted, but great. Annette Bening plays a seriously mentally ill woman, and does a great job. I am not normally a great fan of hers, but the acting chops she shows in this movie? Uncomparable. Alec Baldwin plays her alcoholic husband. These two are trying to raise a child, Augusten. And the 'family' psychiatrist, played by Brian Cox? I cannot even describe him. At one point, he tries to tell his family that his shit is a message from God. I kid you not. This movie is LMAO funny, but sad, at the same time. If you like twisted, dark humor, watch it. You won't believe your eyes, or ears!

It's called Running With Scissors?
I will check it out, I love Brian Cox.
Yes, Running with Scissors, and I loved it.
That is hands down one of my favorite books EVER. I haven't seen the movie yet. Now I have to! By the way - and the stuff portrayed? All TRUE. Actually happened. Augusten Burroughs wrote it, and I've read all his books. They rock.
You know, I am not a big Annette Bening fan, either, but I saw her in (I think this is the name), "Being Julia", and it ROCKED. I was stunned by her acting. I guess it's also because I had such low expectations for her, but still. Really good.
see, now I totally have to go buy the books.
Yes - you must buy the books!
