Saw Capote tonight. Some things it made me think:

Sometimes people just want a witness.
There is a difference between a smart actor and an actor who can deliver smart lines. PS Hoffman is a smart actor; it's in what's between the words.
I wanted Catherine Keener to go away.
There is a difference between being a good supporting actor and bowing out altogether.
There is almost always some kind of roadkill involved in the act of creation; the more at stake, the better it tends to be.
The unreliable narrator can happen in the third person.
It is easy, and pleasing, to let people on screen be complicated, as opposed to in life, when it is difficult and often unpleasant.
I want a drink.
