Fuck me.
No worries, man. I do that shit all the time. I just thought maybe you knew he was an AD or a writer or something on it. And I didn't know that, if he was.

I remember liking The Beach. But I haven't seen in it since the theaters. Maybe once when it came out on DVD. I certainly own the movie, I know that.

I still like it quite a bit, though. It falls apart toward the end but I still really enjoy that movie. Danny Boyle hasn't made a movie that I've disliked (that I've seen).

I've realized lately that I don't think I like Danny Boyle.

The Adam Resnick WTF is one of the most insufferable things I've ever heard. Two neurotic, self-loathing, middle-aged men complaining about bullshit minutiae for 90 minutes. Fuck.

I'm at a point with Maron where I pretty much only listen to his interviews with other comics. I fast-forward through everything that isn't the interview.
