Would that be the comment that begins "I just saw this movie at 
Sundance, and afterwards I wanted to brush my teeth, take a shower, and 
get a lobotomy"??

Hmmm, I've had a couple of contracts that provoked pretty much that 
reaction.

How did I miss this? Did you all know about it but me?

It starred Tatum O'Neal, and it has to do with our humdrum lives, as
Tatum explained in an interview:

"It's called 'The Technical Writer,' and it's about an agoraphobic
reclusive technical writer who ... it's sort of about him and this
married couple that moves in to the building that he lives in, and sort
of makes this pact to draw him out of his basement and into a threesome
in their marriage."

Happens to me all the time. You?
