I can't tell if you're being serious, but that really does sound refreshing. Sort of like Before Sunrise/Before Sunset without the 10 years apart thing.

Aye, I thought I was the only dude on the planet that dug those. I rarely watch movies but caught Before Sunset a couple months ago (it's on streaming Netflix). I loved the ending.

We didn't watch Sunset for two years because we worried they'd screw the whole thing up. Of course we finally watched it and it was even better than Sunrise. Supposedly they're going to pick it up again in a few years.

If you liked those, you should find Paris Blues somewhere. Not the same idea, but the same sort of vibe. Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier play jazz musicians in Paris, and apart from the music, it's mostly them and their girlfriends walking around and talking. Not much plot, but I love it. AMC or TCM used to show it a lot.

I'm gonna go ahead and add that to my queue. Thanks for the tip.

Random here...Do you remember the scene in Sunrise where they're in that amusement park and happen upon the machine that plays a goofy song and Jesse throws an elbow into it? Anyway, I was in Vienna in '97, got to town too late to get a room at the hostel and wasn't tired enough to sleep at the train station. So I just decided to ditch my pack and walk around town all night. Wandered into that amusement park and found the machine from the movie. That was the highlight of my first night in Vienna.

I don't but I'll tell you I walked around Vienna hoping to find something I recognized from that movie and I found nothing. I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, but I felt sure I'd seen that movie enough that I'd see something. But no. I was a little ticked about it.

Found plenty of cool coffee shops though, and a great jazz club.

The Visitor- I know my opinion doesn't carry much weight around here, but this is one of the better movies I've seen in awhile and I would strongly suggest it.

Food, Inc, saw it last evening. Everyone should see it to become informed about the modern food processing industry.

Finally saw Doubt last night. No way Sister Aloysious and Donna Sheridan are played by the same woman. Wow, what an actor.

Watched this tonight. Movie brim-full of NYC 1950s clubby jazziness - chic and cool while being edgy and sleezy. Tony Curtis -perfect for his role. Burt Lancaster rules in this movie - he ranks up their with Eastwood, Mitchum for movie bad-asses. Like "Seven Days in May" he looms large on the screen and burns with intensity.



If I had a complaint - and its slight - the movie script overdoes the cliches - whole conversations are back and forth of one-liner cliches - but the good thing -those old-style zingers are all new to me. Can a movie have too many classic lines ? here's just two good ones from Lancaster -

"I love this dirty town"

and

You're dead, son. Get yourself buried.

I love how virtually the whole movie is set at night.

Movie easily belongs on classics lists.

I bet this is at the top of popeye and Arthur Dent's must see list.

Last night I watched Synecdoche, New York. Anyone else seen it? Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut. Like all of his movies, there's an involved story within the story. In this case, it's principally about doing something real with your life before you ultimately die. Not a real pick me up. Brilliantly executed, but it also kinda broke my head.
