This Is Your Hostage

If anybody thinks my love affair with Miranda July is going to die any time soon, they are sorely mistaken. Sorely! Here's a three-minute vignette called "A Handy Tip for the Easily Distracted" that got edited out of The Future that had me LOL'ing. Literally LOL'ing!

(thanks to Iñaki for the heads-up) You can read more about this bit and the entire movie from July over here, including why this got edited out. Choice quote:

"The character I play in the movie fails to make the dance she sets out to make, and then flees her life. She moves to a world where she will never have to try and fail again. No one cares if she's creative there. This is a sort of horror movie for a person like me, who has created her sense of self through making things."
