reading (catching up)

Big Fish was amazingly boring considering how utterly fantastic it was. Maybe that's because it was too fantastic, there was no tension. There was so much vaseline smeared on the lens there was no room for grit. What struck me the most was how self centered the narrator was. Dad's dying, so I'll just make him feel as uncomfortable and inadequate as I can, because after all, it's all about me.
