Feb. 7th, 2005 10:10 amI have new shoes. I feel like I can walk anywhere.
I watched X,Y at the Roxie at approximately midnight Saturday. It really was meant to be a midnight movie -- I had problems with the pacing, and it definitely had the marks of a first directorial effort, but nonetheless it had its moments.
I also watched three episodes of CSI on DVD. I was warned I might get addicted, but I don't think this will be a problem.
I was particularly unhappy with the third episode, where a sixteen-year-old gets raped during a home invasion, admits to the investigator that she was a virgin at the time (heads up,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misia), and by the end of the episode kills herself. Like you didn't see that one coming.
Addendum:debbieann, who watched the episode with me, says she thinks that the home invader came back and killed her. This is also, upon reflection, a reasonable conclusion, since at the end the girl is just pictured lying in a pool of blood outside, without any further commentary. I don't know which ending the writers meant to portray, but I think it's ambiguous enough that I am still grumpy.
X,Y also featured a rape as a central plot point, but what it did from there was certainly more interesting and unique.

one more thing

I talked to the nice people at Borderlands Books on Friday about the missing March Asimov's. Jude says their distributor dropped it a few months ago, and they're having a hard time getting Dell to hook them up directly. That's why y'all can't find it at the newsstands.
Sigh.
If there's a place to order individual issues from, that'd probably be the way to go at this point. I poked around the Asimov's website, but didn't see any easy way to do it from there.
