Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

The Future (2011)

Paw Paw: How long was thirty days? It was turning out to be a little bit longer than say, for example, the day after tomorrow. Outside there was no time, no hours. Just alive, or not alive, or... bird. Now there was this new thing. Waiting, waiting for them to come get me. Waiting for my real life to begin. I learned to count the seconds. Now, now, now... 

Happy 42nd birthday, Miranda July

Make another movie, please.

Such a talented writer. You're kind of right by choosing that "monologue" and state that's "everything you ever need to know about life"; the movie is good and well written but those moments from the cat's perspective are powerful. Happy birthday, Miranda July!

So funny that this is what i find on MNPP today. All weekend long I thought about about the shirt and the hole digging from this movie and how wonderfully perfect and terribly sad this film was.
