Dexter and Wool 100%
I finished watching the second season of Dexter this weekend and especially enjoyed the last episode. Nicely done. Looking forward to the third season being released on DVD.
And this evening I also watched a Japanese partly animated film called Wool 100%. I remember cutting out the review in the NY Times and waiting/hoping it would be available through netflix because it sounded weird and interesting. It is that, although I admit to almost dozing off about halfway through. It's about two elderly, anti-social sisters living in a ramshackle mansion "decorated" and weighed down (on the outside) with the products of their daily scavenging. Their placid existence is disturbed by the entrance of a strange young girl into their lives. Not all that much dialog but what there is hints at past sadness and possible tragedy. Although I'm very glad I saw it, I'm not willing to watch it again to suss out more meaning (and there is a LOT more in there). Definitely worth a look.
