Probably because I just watched <i>Ghost World<\/i>. When is Adrian Tomine&#8217;s <i>Optic Nerve<\/i> going to be turned into a movie?<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Adaptation<\/i>. I liked <i>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<\/i> enough to get in on DVD, and while I wasn&#8217;t blown away by <i>Being John Malkovich<\/i> when I saw it in the theater, it&#8217;s clear that Charlie Kaufman has some serious screenwriting game. Thing is, I&#8217;m no fan of Nic Cage.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>The Flaming Lips: The Fearless Freaks<\/i>. I still think Wayne Coyne has a lot to learn from Shiina Ringo.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Ghost World<\/i>. A friend of mine e-mailed in this suggestion, as well as <i>Adaptation<\/i> and <i>Kinsey<\/i>, and I&#8217;ll admit, I did actually want to see <i>Ghost World<\/i> when it first came out in the theaters.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Jersey Girl<\/i>. Just to be a Kevin Smith completist.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Kill Bill, Vol. 2<\/i>. I saw <i>Vol. 1<\/i> during JournalCon 2003, but I never got around to seeing <i>Vol. 2<\/i><\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Kinsey<\/i>. It&#8217;s been in the back of my mind to see this as well.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Memento<\/i>. If it was enough to inspire OmarG to write an entry backward &#8230;<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Nausica&auml;: of the Valley of the Wind<\/i>. I think I only want to see this because I saw <i>Howl&#8217;s Moving Castle<\/i>. I think I may be turning into a Miyazaki nut.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>The Phantom of the Opera<\/i>. I&#8217;m glad my Andrew Lloyd Webber phase ended in high school. I&#8217;m more curious to see how this movie stacks up against <i>Chicago<\/i>. Probably no contest. <i>Evita<\/i> was way too long, and changing the score to fit for Madonna&#8217;s range didn&#8217;t work for me. I hope Sam Mendes&#8217; adaptation of Stephen Sondheim&#8217;s <i>Sweeney Todd<\/i> turns out well.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>A Room With a View<\/i>. Since I&#8217;m on such a Merchant Ivory, costume-drama trip.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Say Anything<\/i>. Just to see what all the Lloyd Dobler swoon is all about.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>Sense and Sensibility<\/i>. See <i>Angels of America<\/i> list item regarding Emma Thompson. And I want to see how diverse Ang Lee can get.<\/span>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><i>The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie<\/i>. I mean, he&#8217;s tolerant after all.<\/span>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In reference to this journal entry, I&#8217;m making a list of movies I aim to watch this summer.
