    Pwned by my company

    In negotiating our latest contract, my union decided it would be a good idea to consider holiday pay, should the holiday fall on a weekend, to be applied to that Friday and not the actual holiday.

    I saw Twentynine Palms last night. This is not to be confused with 29 Palms; this movie is by french director Bruno Dumont. Anyways, it is a very unsettling film and am wondering if anyone else has seen it and what they have to say about it.
