Just watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi on Netflix streaming. Pretty neat and inspirational documentary that you don't have to be a foodie to appreciate.

That was a great film! The description about umami was very well done. I really thought the guy was kind of a douche for never being around his kids, especially since his own father left him at an early age. But I did like the relationship he now has with his two sons and how well they've done in his shadow.

In what might be conclusive proof of the existence of a benevolent God, Christina Hendricks will be doing a movie where her character works in a "fetish club".

Is it wrong that I laughed out loud at the final scene of Vertigo?

Hitchcock has a few scenes that don't age well. But then I find that to be true of many older films. The large style of acting and scene design doesn't play like it used to. I think you have to reset your brain a little. There's a scene in The Birds where it cuts back and forth between a gas fire and Tippi Hendren's reaction to it. I never could take it seriously. Same with the crop duster in NxNW, which someone else referenced a while back. Love Hitchcock though.

Yes.

Saw Vertigo on the big screen in Chicago about 20 years ago and was surprised at how many laughs there were from the crowd, especially in the scenes where he's trying to convince her to change her hair and clothes...but I don't recall any laughs at the end.
