Yesterday I watched the documentary Festival Express. It was awesome. The musical performances were amazing to witness as was the entire event. I can't imagine the creative energy of a train full of top-notch musicians traveling the country together giving concerts. While I can't say that I would have wanted to experience the boozin' and trippin' that was going on, I would have loved to be a part of that kind of artistic vibe.
Last night I watched American Splendor. This was a dramatization/documentary of a writer who creates comics about his life. And quite a pathetic, grumpy, and cynical life it is. While I didn't like this guy as a person, there was something about the movie that really drew me in. I think it's his stubborn determination to be average or perhaps even worse than average. He's an outrageously negative person and portrays his life as such. I guess I can relate to the cynical, but humorous outlook. Before the movie I had given myself permission to turn it off if I didn't like it, but I never once considered it. It was a great movie that was well worth my time.
