Weird and Weirder
If you're not looking for a big commitment and you need something to stream on Netflix and you're in the mood for something kind of weird, then try Episode 7 of Black Mirror-- it's called "White Christmas" and it stars Jon Hamm; Black Mirror is a British update of The Twilight Zone . . . but the episodes center around the perils of technological innovation, and "White Christmas" is really fun and strange and features lots of surprises and a plot that circles right around to the beginning and makes perfect sense . . . if you're still in the mood for something short and self-contained and weird, watch Punch Drunk Love, it was written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, stars Adam Sandler, and features a cameo by Philip Seymour Hoffman . . . I always had fond memories of this movie, but hadn't watched it since 2002, when it came out-- it holds up really well, and is even more bizarre than I remembered.

along the same lines, a weird music recommendation for you - the new Mountain Goats record Beat the Champ is an entire album about professional wrestling. It draws more from the movie "The Wrestler" than WWE Raw, but it is an outstanding and brilliant work from John Darnielle. I highly recommend it, it's in heavy rotation at my house. Plus, I still love wrestling
ok-- i will check it out, i like "the mountain goats." not sure if i still love wrestling, however.
