I am giddy...

over John Krasinski. Oh man. I went with a few friends to see his film, "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" - at IFC. First of all, David Foster Wallace is brilliant. I have the book in my queue and have loved his writing for a while, but truly the words- ie the screenplay and how much it stayed true to the text, ie- Wallace's writing, sounded like poetry throughout the film. Incredible. And even though JK admitted that he is a novice at directing (and was easily pleased throughout the process and never cares to direct again, for he just wanted to get the story out in a different medium and spark conversation, which it does) he is adorable and hilarious and perfect- oops! I meant to type "in person!!" haha. No editing to that... too funny. He truly reminds me of so many of my friends, which makes it feel like he could easily be one of my friends. I'm sure lots of people feel this way with lots of people, but I have a crush. I am still digesting a lot of the points made in the movie and the overall message (what is has to say about gender relations, men, women, etc), so no review or criticism here, just general gushing and crushing musings on both men.
