So over the past 2 weeks, thinkness has seen three movies, all of which have been a bit emotionally overwhelming for me: The Anniversary Party, Before Sunset, and Sideways. It's strange, I don't necessarily usually seek out movies like that, but all three of these films have left me spent, a little jittery, a bit shell-shocked. I also thought they were all quite good. [Anniversary Party - excellent; Before Sunset - quite good; Sideways - outstanding.] Am I becoming an emotional lightweight and undiscerning?
Although there were ostensibly nothing in particular that linked these films, they seemed to me to be a troika, a group of three powerful waves from the wake of one giant passing ship, each of which crashed over the deck of the USS Thinkness. While thinking about them moments ago, I realized [with an assist from the official roommate of thinkness] that all three movies are about writers who have just completed autobiographical novels. Isn't that weird? What should I make of this?

"kitchen sink drama" comes to mind, although i don't know if that's an accurate use of the term. laurel canyon has a similar vibe (and hinges on self-discovery) but is warmer and less distressing. i love the scene where "bonnie and clyde" plays (the song, not the movie).
what is better: "excellent" or "outstanding"?
guy's gotta prioritize somehow.
"Outstanding" is definitely better than "excellent." This seems self-evident to me, but it'd be pretty hard to prove it, I guess. The University of Wisconsin agrees [warning: pdf]. The Flower Fields [??] disagrees. Feh.
I seem to remember playing a Marvel Comics-based role-playing game when I was a kid, and in ranking your attributes, outstanding was better than excellent. Now I'm tainted.
I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but I am: the Marvel game is online. Unfortunately, it doesn't include any "outstanding" ranking. Not only am I dating myself, but I'm senile. Double feh.
But McGill agrees with my ranking! [Warning: pdf.] And they're smart! And that little analysis is more quantitiative!
I've never heard the term "kitchen sink drama." Acccording to this random-ass site, it was a reaction against traditional middle-class British drama and focused on working-class life. The movies I'm talking about are *decidedly* middle-class, though. They are pretty frank and raw, though, so in that sense they might be outside of the bounds of traditional theater.
Also haven't seen Laurel Canyon...
If you look up "kitchen sink drama" on dictionary.com, it figures you must be searching for "Cushing's syndrome." Weird.
when you google "kitchen sink drama," the sixth result mentions "supine fellatio." at first glance i thought it said "lupine fellatio" ... anyway, i guess i'm putting in the context of "domestic" drama, class issues aside.
Excellent, that was really well explained and helpful

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
