miles, deftly portrayed by paul giamatti, lamented:
"i'm a thumbprint on a window of a skyscraper" .
his ego assuaged and encouraged by his buddy, he remaind inconsolable and uttered this killer line that to my mind secured the oscar nomination:
"no, I'm a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea with a million tons of sewage..."
i thought this was hilarious. and a tad sad. who wants to creep into middle age alone - being ditched by a wife after a mouthful of self-esteem-deflating judgments; scraping by a mediocre and pretentious career as a writer too poor to pay a napa valley excursion you have to steal from your mom's piggybank; and worst of all, uttering these looossseeer epithets....
alas, the lines are are distantly but ominously familiar.... yikes.
