What if this is all we get?

[krickets]

When I had my blog I started this lame "Take Out Film Rec" column where I'd rec movies you could either rent or stream online at netflix/amazon/youtube and order take out and watch in your living room. I think I recced all of 2 movies before I ran out of stamina. (Rubber and Attack the Block, in case you're wondering.) Anyway, I'm not saying I'm going to start doing this here, but I do have a recommendation for you guys:

Stuck Between Stations

I just told stainofmylove that this movie reminded me a lot of Before Sunrise (as blasphemous as that might sound for fans of that movie) and that it was pretty much fantastic. It really is. And I feel like I should say more about it but I think the trailer kind of says it all. Also, Sam Rosen is completely adorable and this is the first film where I truly loved Zoe Lister Jones, and weirdly I've seen a lot of stuff with her in it. Generally, Netflix has been putting a lot more understated character-driven indies on their streaming site lately and I've been kind of loving it. (I really enjoyed The Yellow Handkerchief as well.)

WHY DID I WATCH THE TRAILER???

WHYYYYY DID I WATCH THE TRAILER WHEN I ~KNEW IT WOULD BE FABULOUS [because, hey, the Savages thing...!]

WHYYYYYYYYY DID I WATCH THE TRAILER WHEN I ~KNOWWW STUPID AUSTRALIANS CAN'T ACCESS STUPID NETFLIX.

I AM going to find this movie and watch. the. shit. out. of. it.

Somehow.

Also, yuletide. I'm going to need your help.

I think you know why.

My help? Haha. I missed sign-ups again. I was going to do Festivids, miss sign-ups by a couple of days. And you just reminded me I wanted to do Yuletide and I missed that sign-up by a couple of days too. That's my luck. But if you need my help just let me know! I AM SUPER EXCITED TO CONFIRM THE WHY.

Also, you need to get your hands on this movie. It is beyond excellent.

I AM SUPER EXCITED TO CONFIRM THE WHY. ARGH! YOU KNOWWWW WHY!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE! I'm having a hard time sourcing the books, too, which is very *sadface* because I really do want to experiment with styles etc. Anyhoo, if you have time to beta whatever I manage to come up with, that would be ACES!


Also, you need to get your hands on this movie. This is at the very top o' my 'Things to Achieve In Life' list. True story. I'm not sure what that says about my priorities. I'm also not sure that I care... :)
