You did better than me. I only recognized Calpernia Addams.
I loved The Crying Game. That was awesome. I don't know if I'd recommend Transamerica or not. I have a feeling it doesn't stand up well to time. Definitely see The Adventures of Sebastian Cole. Clark Gregg was so very good and believable. I feel terrible of Jared Leto. I think he's getting an ass-kicking that he so doesn't deserve. I liked that some of his defenders are actually making sense. I think a lot of his detractors must be very young and not taking into account when and where this film takes place. 1985 Texas was not going to be conducive to transsexuals looking like they do now. I've waited on them at work where unless I'm paying really close attention I don't even notice at first. Even as late as the early 90s, I knew a mtf that was very noticeable in the way Jared was in the movie. Not in mannerisms, but in ability to pass. I always worried about her. She delivered pizzas for a living and I was concerned for her physical safety. It seems crazy that even in this time those concerns are still valid. When is the modern world going to catch-up with reality?
Yep, but I feel marginally better now. I just got off the phone with the guy who was helping me navigate the Insurance Market Place that my employer hired. He was much better than the last guy and I am insured again. Well, not again. I'll have insurance when I lose mine at the end of the month and it's only costing me about 17 bucks more than my old insurance. So yay me. I think I'd rather just be Canadian. Things would be so much simpler. The other issue is that I just don't feel comfortable at my new job yet, for a myriad of reasons. I'm not comfortable around most people anyway, so new people take me awhile. I am a natural introvert even though most people wouldn't take me that way. And I'm a dork, as I'm sure won't surprise you, so fitting in the real world isn't something I do well. I guess that's why I love Phil. I don't have to imagine how tortured he must have been in junior high school. No wonder he went into a field where taking out jack-asses with a bags of flour is a possibility. ;-)
