I couldn't sleep last night and made things worse by grabbing my copy of "Never Coming to a Theater Near You: a celebration of a certain kind of movie" by Kenneth Turan. It's Turan's collection of overlooked quality movies which is supposed to give a reader fodder for their DVD rental list.
I had hoped that it might lull me off to sleep again, but it did the opposite. I added about a dozen films to my 'must-see' category. What was worse was reading about films I have seen and then trying to remember the specific scenes he was talking about.
Tonight the book stays far from the bed.
I had just about forgotten the insomnia today when this arrived....
