Seven

Deadly sins, that is. They also happen to be the basis for the movie Se7en, which I've seen in the past.

I did some considering about how many and to what extent of these sins I'm guilty of. Not that I really care, because I'm not religious, but I thought it'd be interesting to take a self-inventory here. 

1. luxuria / Lust. I don't really think I'm guilty of this one. 
2. gula / Gluttony. I think in some ways, sometimes, I'm gluttonous.  
3. avaritia / Greed. I think I'm at least sort of greedy also. 
4. acedia / Sloth. I'm very lazy, so definitely guilty of this one. 
5. ira / Wrath. I certainly feel like being vengeful sometimes, so I've been guilty of this one as well.
6. invidia / Envy. I don't think that I'm particularly envious of others. 
7. superbia / Pride. Do I think that I'm better than others? Better than some people, at least. 

In other matters, apparently there are at least a few (one?) people who delight in posting pairs of similar pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal (the amount that I've been mentioning him lately, it feels like this blog is turning into a Jake Gyllenhaal blog a little bit) and Jared Leto. They do sort of look similar as far as hair color and eye color goes, and face shape/feature arrangements, to some extent, but Jared Leto... has rounder/bigger eyes? Something in the eye area. I particularly like the Jake picture in this set, of Jake splayed out on the floor like my cats do sometimes. It would be interesting to do my own compilation of similar pictures of different actors, so maybe I'll try to get on with that. 

Also in other news, last night, I began to watch a documentary on the same subject matter that the movie Black Mass was about. I thought that it could potentially be insightful, and so far it's been pretty interesting. There was a mention of the guy who Peter Sarsgaard played, who got murdered by the mobsters. In relation to the movie, I was trying to look up this one video of Johnny Depp saying some things (really, just a thing) about Peter Sarsgaard but I didn't find it. However, I did find a review which expressed some things I would say I agree with: "The two actors who do manage a few moments of credibility are Johnson as Whitey’s girlfriend and Peter Sarsgaard as a minor criminal who ends up in Whitey’s clutches. They’re both wasted in tiny roles that make you wish the screenplay had given more time to their characters and their conflicts. Cumberbatch isn’t awful as Whitey’s brother, a senator and one of the most powerful men in Boston. However, Cumberbatch isn’t able to lose all of his posh, British aura and ultimately, you don’t believe he belongs with the other Southie men." This review also mentioned the movie The Departed (and said it was a better movie), with Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio, which is apparently about the same subject matter, which I hadn't know before. I intend to eventually watch that movie someday. 

My current list of movies I'd like to watch eventually is as follows: Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, Schindler's List, Fight Club, A Beautiful Mind, Awakenings, An Education, Flightplan, Boys Don't Cry, Jackie, Flightplan, Rendition, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Great Gatsby, Brokeback Mountain, Contagion, various Jason Bourne movies.
