Logging

Movie: Greenberg

This movie took me a long time to watch. I started and stopped 3 times. I laughed several times. I suppose it's the best Noah Baumbach movie, which isn't saying much. I don't know...the other day Malcom Gladwell wrote the litmus test of a memoir is whether the author's life was more interesting than your own. I don't know if the same litmus test applies to movies, but certainly if the movie is more boring than my own life, there is a problem. So...Greenberg, Bored to Death, and any mumblecore movie can pretty much fall into this category.
