The running of the....oh my

I know that some of you that are reading this are not librarians, oh poor benighted souls. Should such sad individuals be wondering how the enlightened among you spend their working lives, well 90% of it is like this.

I finally saw Borat last night, and I've never felt so ambivalent about a film that has made me laugh so much. The great moments are several and quite brilliant - the hotel fight, the horse collapsing at the rodeo and the rationale for not flying ("in case the jews repeat their attack of 9/11"). However, whilst many of the people he meets deserve a right kicking, some of the attacks seemed to be directed at people who really didn't do anything wrong except be a bit naive and maybe stupid. It was like the anti-Best In Show, a movie that made me feel all warm and fuzzy without actually making me laugh very much.

I also got tix for the first ever Australian show by the mighty Pixies, this Friday. Yeeeeees!
