Weekend state: The meaning of life, and other brief encounters

Opening in the East Bay this week, ordered by strength of recommendation (the more asterisks, the better):

**The Animation Show 2005
*Walk on Water
*Be Cool (recommended solely for The Rock)
Paper Clips
The Chorus
The Jacket
The Pacifier

Yep, it's Festival Season. Don Hertzfeldt will be at the Acts on Saturday night, so I'll probably go to that; and I'll finally get to catch up with The Sea Inside.

Next week: The Raging Bull Collector's Edition DVD. Plus, lists! Have a good weekend.
