everytime i go to a thriftstore i look for a leopard skin pillbox hat

We are watching “I’m not here.”

I think bob dylan is fantastic. we all do, don’t we? Which is basically the gist of this film.

I remember horrible middle school and having to find a poem for the excuse of an english class and I found desolation row: I hadn’t even heard of bob dylan (my parents had a donovan record and some phil ochs and lots of opera and classical and thats it), and I was blown away and probably embarrassed myself by not knowing who he was when i went home and asked about this awesome poet i found.

but I digress; this movie is good if only to point more giant neon arrows at how awesome bob dylan is, and cate blanchett does a transformative job.

this is her as bob dylan.

the best part is when dylan goes electric: I ‘ve always found it so attractive and strong that he just did what he wanted to do without regard for his image or for perhaps for a brilliant understanding of the future of his image.

also, for those of you who don’t know me: i kinda look like bob dylan when i wear my sunglasses, esp if i’m having a bad hairday:)
