Wholly
Entrancing
 I watched
a real oddball movie this weekend, one I really need
to share and recommend. It's called "Holy
Motors" and
here's what it may,
or may not, be about:
Imagine a world in which all the important people
in our lives are simply roles played by
professional actors, or, in this case, one particular
actor, moving swiftly from one
assignment
to another
in a sort of Tardis/dressing room/stretch limo.
That's bizarre enough but then you reach
the final minute of the movie and then everything
you
presupposed
is
wrong. And that's okay.
Darkly funny, beautifully directed and acted, and definitely
a total mind-hump. Coming soon to a rental box near
you.

I accidentally wrote
a Steven Wright joke tonight. If someone can get it
to him please tell him
I take tens and twenties. Here she goes:
My girlfriend and I entered into a suicide pact today.
She's going to overdose on barbiturates and I'm going
to become
an asbestos miner. I figure, what's the rush?
-------------
One more thing: On or about the 3rd
of February, 2014, Raging Pencils will celebrate
the creation of its
1000th comic. After I made the first one back in 2006
I certainly never envisioned another 999 but here were
are. I'll
do my best to make #1000 'special'.
