Wow. I think the blinding headache and the feeling of mild-to-medium nausea I'm feeling may be the result of putting my contacts in again after a couple of weeks of not wearing them, plus too much coffee during our work off-site today. But it may be the result of watching the far-too-good acting of Stellan Skarsgard as a bingeing alcoholic and Lena Headey as his despairing and frequently coked-up daughter road-trip their way across Norway, England, and Scotland.
That is the sort of movie that is hard to watch, difficult to enjoy, but shows incredible talent by writer, director, and--most of all--actors.

this fine-looking Scottish film
but Peter found this, which has to be the most awesome upcoming movie ever. :-) He and Bryan and I are very psyched!
