The Parking Lot Movie

In ways both bad and good, the film reminded me of my years in Bloomington. The attendants reminded me of many of the guys I knew at I.U. On the surface, they seemed like slackers--and they were on some level--but many of them were also crazy smart. The movie certainly also brings to mind the class divide that's common to Bloomington, too.

I watched this a few weeks ago. Loved it! Then again, I love documentaries with seemingly inane topic areas. If you haven't yet seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, I highly recommend it.

I'm glad you liked it, too! I loved learning what they're all doing now. It was a bit of a punch line.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out. I noted a while ago that Netflix has a lot of documentaries that you can stream instantly to your tv (if you have that capability) or your computer. My husband doesn't quite like them like I do (I often go for pretty heavy topics), so I can try to sneak one in when he's not around. I watched one the other day called Ballerina--about prima ballerinas from the Kirov Ballet in Russia. It was interesting. I added a bunch to my instant queue earlier today.
