And Drugstore Cowboy was a funny, well paced, touching movie with pretty likeable characters. I hope she makes another full length narrative.

Frank Darabont directed The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

I just remember the VO of her reading the report to the class was what added to the sadness for me. It was like all these things she always had wanted to do and now for whatever reason; divorce, widowed…she now was experiencing them alone. A big fat juxtapose to the “City of Love”

If you want some life affirmation, the short just before it with Gena and Ben in the resturant. Now that is brilliant cinema my friend!

Who is Frank Darabont?

I thought it was really pathetic in the beginning, but then becamse really inspiring. To each his own I guess.

Or in need of some Scientology classes. (Depression drugs dont work btw.)

I saw lots more sadness vs. life affirmation. But of course most of Paynes stuff hangs out in the comically depressing.

It made me want to call my aunt and make sure she was ok.

I actually liked it. It was really sweet. We’re just giving him shit.

His short was the opposite of feel good. It was feel bad.

Lonely woman goes to the city of love by herself and misses her couple cats and writes a report for her french class.

What is remotely feel good about that?
