One disc of the fourth season of Dexter this weekend--nice start to the new season. Flirting With Disaster--meh. I really don't like Ben Stiller very much but it had its fun moments. Schlub decides to find his birth parents and is taken on a road trip with wife (Patricia Arquette), child, and adoption agency nut (Tea Leoni)with mishaps on the way.

Today I saw Howl, a wonderful movie about the obscenity trial of Allen Ginsberg's poetic masterpiece. Fantastic cast including James Franco ( Oscar nomination should be in his future), David Stratharn, Treat Williams, Jon Hamm, Bob Balaban, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, and some gorgeous hunks playing the young Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac, and Peter Orlofsky. Excellent acting throughout. Terrific animation by Eric Drooker. A lot of recitation of the poem, interviews with Franco as Ginsberg taken from reality, etc. Go and see it!
