"Hop on a plane, Robert."

I'm still on the fence as to whether I should come for the SKIP CITY festival that 2 + 1 is going to be playing at on the 22nd. Even if I don't make it this month, I will have to come visit you for that drink sooner or later!

As I've posted elsewhere, I liked this film for very personal reasons. I've been that lonely American sitting at a bar in a foreign country, wishing I was home, feeling very isolated and somewhat cynical. And in England at that. (it was at a bar at the Novotel Hotel in the Hammersmith area, I was the only english speaking person there). Unfortunately, the beautiful swede serving me drinks, only wanted to know if I could get her a job in America. No adventures, unless you count trying to figure out what the meat really was, at the French inspired breakfast buffet.

LiT has some really great music btw. It took me three watches to realize it.
Also, LiT is one of the last few romances that manage to be very watchable. All the rest simply arent original enough.

A "normal" close up would be of a face so I thought starting with a close up of a butt meant the point of view of the movie was starting at the "wrong end" or from a "different perspective", setting the tone for the rest of the movie.

Check out "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"...

Eternal Sunshine - an amazing film!!! I just saw it 2 nights ago, and I solidly believe it's Charlie Kaufmann's best film to date, and so far the best film I've seen this year.

Also, Charles, saw a trailer for Zach Braff's Garden State before the film started. It too, looks amazing. Would love to hear your war stories of this production since I know you were a part of it.
