Confession of weakness …

Can you believe that I’ve not seen Lars and the Real Girl, and have no plans to see Vicky Christina or whatever that poly/threesome/swinger/group movies is?

I should, of course. Especially the real girl movie, which looks poignant, real, and funny. Not to mention directly related to my beat.

But I have no oomph for it. I so rarely get to the movies anymore (at home or at the theater) that I just lack the patience to pick something even remotely related to work. Movies have always been my freelancer vacation — three hours away from clients and contacts, immersed in a completely different world where Life and Death, Salvation and Destruction hang in the balance. What’s a missed deadline or an embarrassing grammar mistake compared to mummy armies or rings of power that must be destroyed or psychics so politically powerful they dissolve the senate of a federation of hundreds of planets?

For some reason I can’t make my brain shift into “this is enjoyable and also information that I need to stay well-rounded in my topic, and to know what other people are learning and thinking about in this area” when it comes to video. Text, certainly. Bring on the articles, studies, charts, treatises, books … bring on the scripts and the transcripts. I’ll read it faster than I could watch it, and probably remember more and comprehend it better too.

So if you see any great film related to sex-tech, and you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned it, that’s why. Feel free to email me your review of such content and I’ll post it here (or link to your own blog or article or video or whatever media you prefer) if it’s relevant to sex-tech.
