last night watched "Thinking of Ending Things" by Charlie Kaufman.
If you're familiar with Kaufmans work as screenwriter and director, you know what to expect, which is a thoroughly mind-bending experience.

but don't hate me if you hate it.
I also love Jesse Plemons, the actor.
and Toni Collette and David Thewliss - all great.
if you do watch it, set aside your phone, and relax. you can't multi-task with this experience

after the appearance as i left, joe jonas waited for me, and said "that was really great." he seemed shy and very happy.
the green rooms are all separate and they are "themed." mine was a rustic cabin, and ...

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo..
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany ..
Within seconds, he receives ...
