If I'd seen it last year....

Junebugwould have made it into my favorite film list of 2005. Just stayed up, way too late, watching it on DVD.

It is a small, true, brilliant film, and you have to have to have to see it.

Perfection.

What you need to rent.

The Best of Youth. Just out on DVD.

This is not a joke. Yes, it is 400 minutes long. What of it? You have something better to do?

I am serious. Don't even try to talk to me until you've seen it, people. It is lovely, and one of my three favorite films of 2005.

Eric is Lame. So am I.

Many of you are probably bitter and downright sad that neither Eric nor I am maintaining things very well, at least on this blog. There is a reason for MY absence--I have been in Anarctica for the past several weeks, on a junket for the film Eight Below. There was a terrific storm, and we couldn't get out for days, and also lost Internet connection. The dogs were lovely, and though one or two die in the film, they are fine in Real Life. I have fur all over my clothes to prove it.

So. That's why I haven't posted. Don't know what ERIC's lame excuse will be.

I did see the film Cache this past Friday night, after I arrived at SeaTac Airport after returning from the Frozen South. Really intriguing film. If you see it, make sure you notice what is going on in the last frame. If you don't, you'll miss something important. Not that it will resolve any questions. It will just raise more. On second thought, don't pay attention to the last frame. It will just confuse you, and life is confusing enough, yes?

Okay, well, I'd better go tend to this frostbite.
