Yeah, I get kind of sad whenever I see movies in which someone is being really self-revelatory and really exposing themselves to potential humiliation or humbling or rejection, irrespective of what response they get. I think sometimes that the bravest thing we can do is simply to be honest.

I think it has a connection with that business with the Illeana Douglas character and what she says about not being afraid to raise difficult issues or use unpopular images. Or maybe that's a nice way to intellectualize the issue and therefore create distance. Anyway, yeah, I've become a big crybaby. Next thing you know I'll be crying at those commercials for cotton or long distance on TV.


Peace.
