You Know

I don't have any solid poll #s to back me up or anything-  & most of the stuff I've seen from Pollster, 538, dKos looks pretty bleak for the Dems come November, but I just saw the excellent The Deal, dir:  Stephen Frears, starring Michael Sheen & David Morrissey; and nobody expected Major to win in 1990.  Stuff happens, & the economy is going to improve, & the teabaggers are going to split the GOP vote, & the bill in AZ that just passed is really going to rally latinos & real, honest lovers of liberty & freedom that don't demonize minority folks in this country of ours.  I think the CW in Washington & the media will be completely upset in November.  There'll be the usual head-scratching & the left went right to win crap.

Bought Todd Haynes'

Velvet Goldmine followup at Rasputin's ($4!), Far From Heaven.  This is a note-perfect, piercing beauty of a melodrama, that I knew was going to change my life the minute I saw the opening titles, a bittersweet valentine to Sirk, I loved every minute of it.  Julianne Moore is great, of course, but it was Patricia Clarkson's performance to me that really stood out, her scene w/ Ms Moore, the "day or night" one on Ms Moore's porch is one of the best scenes about friendship I've ever seen.  


The film is luscious to look at, as well, & the score perfect.  Highly recommended.
