The important thing is, I'm meeting new people

Land of Plenty (2004) Wim Wenders 

Although I agree with the message, it’s still a message movie, and by definition not subtle. Something else I watched because I was still doing my nails (ugh, I know), a journalist mentioned that it was one of their favorite Michelle Williams performances*, and it was being taken off of Netflix Instant. Also, The Bunk.

*That movie was actually really important to me — and to you! — and to not very many other people. It was the first time that a director of such esteem and talent had seen anything interesting about me. I think it was because — and in fact he said as much — he had never seen “Dawson’s Creek.” He wasn’t aware of the show at all, and when I drove to meet him at his house, he really met me, not work that I was good or bad in or perceptions that people had of me, positive or negative. He just met me, and from that experience he cast me.
