with some folks last night about interns and how I got an intern, well several really, but now I kind of only have one, except she left for college so I guess it's a little more complicated than that. And people always find this fascinating. Because they're thinking, "Wow. You're a dick." And then they're also thinking, "I want an intern, teach me how." Answer: Craigslist.

But then the conversation turned to other topics, and I was talking about movies and all the movies in my Netflix queue. I was telling Todd Levin how I really want to rent "Heaven Can Wait," but I'm also a little bit afraid because I think it will be a sensory memory overload.

When I was growing up this movie was basically my dad's religion for a while. He gave up on Catholicism, threw away his Purple Heart, rejected God and somehow this new-age Warren Beatty movie about reincarnation was what grounded him. I told Todd about how I'm hesistant to see it because I want to be able to fully concentrate on the movie, to have my moment with the movie and my feeling is that right now I'm not sure I have the time or energy to drink it all in.

To which Todd was silent for half a second, then replied.

"Maybe you can get your intern to watch it," he said. "Write up some coverage."
