today was in a NYC public sitting area, at Worldwide plaza. top 20 tallest in NY, duly noted. this one building actually has TWO Starbucks open for the public, on street sides. used to have this cheapo cinema there for 3 bucks in the early 2000s, flicks and crowds of such trash that even a poverty- stricken fuck like me didn't go after a while.
so was saying good bye to the blue sky. sunny Autumnal day like Sept 11. looking at the trees for nice sturdy branches and all.
last night i finished that flick the “Good’" Girl. don’t know why "Good' wasn’t in quotes, since i think it was supposed to be ironic. this bitch tried to kill her lover, ratted him out where he later killed himself, had his kid and had it raised by her husband amongst other sins. Of course it was played by Jennifer Anison, “American's sweethaeart’ (again note the quotes), and she was a cute young white woman, so i guess she was good ultimately, right?
Anyway she tried to kill her "love” (quotes again) with these supposedly rancid black berries. of course later in the decade (film was from 2002), blackberry abuse was when you used your ostentatious phone too fucking much. but in the flick, literal death by blackberry. i also thought of MASH (the flick) when Painless wanted to kill himself for, of all things 70s, believing himself to be gay, and the good doctors ceremoniously endow upon him a placebo “black capsule’ (song, suicide is painless) at his Last Supper.
not painless today, and after the trees, looked down, and at my sinister foot was a big black berry. looked up in the sheltering tree above me and there were no more. a tree of knowledge? had to look at it, give it some thought. had to. But was off after a while, and actually, really, accidentally stepped on the it while i was turning to leave.
I agree with you about the good girl movie. Is that the one where she meets the weird dude named Holden? Even if it is a different movie, I remember it being pretentious and wanting me to like it.
