Disappointed and a little melancholy tonight, so I won't be doing the discussion I mentioned yesterday.
"Sexy Beast", directed by Jonathan Glazer is what has me disappointed. It has been receiving billing as a hard British crime drama with a searing, galvanizing performance by Ben Kingsley. I, however, found myself bored with most of it. Kingsley is good, sure, but nothing too memorable. There's some somewhat interesting camera work, but overall nothing really impressive. It's also one of those English films (like, for example, "The Full Monty") where the characters use such thick accents that you almost want subtitles.
Today's Link Of The Day is a personality test, which gives information on tendencies toward various…let's call them neuroses…the test-taker may have. My results:
Disorder Rating
Paranoid: High
Schizoid: Very High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Very High
Avoidant: High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate
After taking the test, you'll be able to know what each of those is referring to. Find it at http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv
