The Station Agent

This has won the prestigious My New Best Movie Ever Award. I know that I am "Like four months late" on this as I was with Bubba Ho-tep, but that's just the way we do it. If you haven't seen The Station Agent, go and rent it now. It is like a quieter and arguably better Lost In Translation (which is great, don't get me wrong). I am sad that I can't be best friends with the three main characters. I don't really get the train thing, but I get having an offbeat obsession. Mine is square rigged wooden boats from the dawn of sail to the late 1600's. I couldn't really care less about boats, sails or no, after that. I don't envy Fin's solitude, but I do envy his devotion. It is really cool to see a person delve as deep as they can go into a subject. Well-rounded people never do anything great. You have to specialize; make a thing your thing. Besides silly boat models and watching TV, I'm hoping I find my thing.
