celia and i watched happy endings the other night, which as a whole falls just a little bit short of its performances and soundtrack. maggie gyllenhaal is particularly amazing, both acting and singing. bobby cannavale is also great as the masseur (with the happy endings). the title cards that comment on some of the scenes are pretty heavy-handed, but at least don’t sink the movie.

• the mirror conspiracy by thievery corporation
• careless love by madeleine peyroux
• “run” from talkie walkie by air
• “about her” from kill bill: volume 2 soundtrack by malcolm mclaren
• “in my life” from american iv - the man comes around by johnny cash
• the cosmic game by thievery corporation
• hedwig and the angry inch soundtrack
