Drunk Americans
To prepare ourselves for our trip to Italy in 3 weeks, we ate a ton of pasta and roasted garlic, and drank a few bottles of wine. Strictly for the trip, mind you. Then, to cap the evening, we sat down to watch La Dolce Vita. Want to know what not to watch when you're drunk and tired? La Dolce Vita. I don't know much about Fellini. But this movie is slow in that way that some foreign and American independent movies are slow, which is to say the characters go in circles and back and forths, rather than a sprint from start to finish. For someone as pretentious as I am, this is usually my bread and butter.
Did I mention it's 3 hours? That may've had something to do with it.
