Good movies I've seen lately:
Scenes from a Marriage - Ingmar Bergman's bleak (surprise!) film about marriage... reminds me of Faithless, an even better movie, which was also written by Bergman
Proof - Australian film about a blind photographer
Secrets & Lies - adoption, working class families, people hating and neglecting one another unecessarily
"Only a small percentage of hunger deaths are caused by starvation. Most hunger-related deaths are the result of chronic undernutrition, which weakens the body's ability to ward off diseases, prevalent in poverty-stricken communities" --Hunger Basics FAQ
Word of the day:
sententious - Terse and energetic in expression, abounding in aphorisms, or abounding in pompous moralizing
