You’d think I’d learn. I keep watching depressing as hell movies. Alone, in the dark.

Last night? It was “Monster’s Ball.” Which was, I think, slightly less depressing than “House of Sand and Fog” a couple weeks ago. But I’m not really sure which one was more depressing and I’m not going to watch them again to figure it out. (hint: in both movies, people die. Not depressing by itself, but the people who get left behind are rather upset by this, and it isn’t always easy to watch)

I did go see “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” today, which was not depressing and actually laugh out loud funny in a couple of parts. But then I realized how much I miss seeing Gene Wilder and — got depressed again.

Now, Shaun of the Dead had people dying in droves – but not depressing. Go figure.
