i've seen a few ppl say Skinamarink shouldn't be feature length, that it should be shorter, and i wholly disagree. i think the drawn out tension was very necessary. the pacing is glacial, yes. it's supposed to be. i think i've always been a fan of what is apparently called 'slow cinema' which is what this is. it reminds me of those still shots in Neon Genesis Evangelion, which i also loved and most other ppl apparently disliked.

My book haul for today; I’ve always wanted to read In Cold Blood, anything from Capote would’ve been good in general but this one was the one; my brother found it while we scouted the shelves & he asked if it was this book I wanted—definitely.
I haven’t read anything from John Steinbeck before (apart from a really condensed & abridged version of Grapes of Wrath back in school text books that I no longer remember).
I haven’t remembered much about Dickens either but the same goes for A Tale of Two Cities.
