Diary of a Schizophrenic

A madman's diary.

Watched "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" with Becky yesterday. Quite novel way of presenting dialogue as lyrics. The recoloured backgrounds also seem too much like computer graphics.

Saw "Dead Man" as well. Quite okay piece of work. Liked the way Jarmusch weaved in a member of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers as one of the victims (Benmont Tench). Too full of allegory and symbolism for me to adequately understand it. Gary Farmer as the Injun "Nobody" is also kinda annoying. Shoulda been in colour as the scenery was captivating. The juxtaposition of the twigs on the dead Marshall's head is actually copied from a William Blake lithograph in "America", I think.

Didn't do the "Diner" thing with Becky. She didn't bring popcorn and it would have been a bit messy anyway. Eating popcorn out of her vagina, was it?
