You could call Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely a comeback, but that would imply the return was anticipated, or that it heralds a return to form. I'm not sure either description applies.

A pack of flying nuns, a group of celebrity impersonators and a flock of diseased sheep walk into a movie scene. Where the film goes from there is anyone's guess.

With his latest, writer-director Harmony Korine sets out to soothe with gorgeous honeyed images and a profound sense of tranquility. The people he's examining are still problematic outsiders, but Korine chooses to make them beautiful as well as discomfiting.

A lot of political bloggers (which I've been reading to check out the responses to tonight's amazing but also surreal evening of politics, which included not only the speeches by the three major candidates but also Terry McCauliffe's bizarre, would-be comedy act on The Daily Show) have been linking to "101 Movies to Avoid Watching Before You Die" on the Crooked Timber site.
