Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is my favorite movie. And I am so not normally a kitchy person, but I love it all down to the Mambo Taxi and the Vespa Ride of Doom. You'll never look at gazpacho the same way again.
Word to the wise, the Greeks may be Slavs (though there must be some descent from the classical Greeks in some areas; also, lots of Greeks are really Albanians which is so funny if you know what the Greeks say about Albanians) but DO NOT SAY SO TO A GREEK. Also, if anyone asks, Macedonia is Greek since 3000 years.

Or Banderas. All his roles back in Spain were like this--nerdy and awkward characters. Then he crossed the ocean and started playing a Mexican and became a sexual dynamo. As for gazpacho, Spaniards have always had an unhealthy (to my mind--nasty stuff) fixation on that particular soup/beverage.
I'm envisioning a Spanish version of
Crazy Taxi.
Note to world:
Law of Desire
is not actually a good enough movie to seek out. I saw it on (unexpurgated) television, and I rate it above dubbed Cary Grant movies, but below dubbed
Poseidon Adventure,
on the enjoyably bad scale.

Close, but also not so much. You need to see this flick, man.
Mujer al Borde de Atacque de Nervios is the untranslated title. Goooood stuff.
Upon seeing the preview for Pacifier, my not-boyfriend said Diesel was following Schwartzenegger's example of mixing bad broad comedy with action movies to give him a more cuddly image.
I was about to say, it sounds a heck of a lot like Kindergarten Cop.
I have no opinion on Moulin Rouge as the trailers repelled me enough to stay far far away. SO not my thing. Also it bugged the crap out of me to hear it so praised and awarded when Hedwig was released the same year, was so damned fabulous, and yet not Oscar-nominated. Hrmph.
I saw Finding Neverland yesterday. I enjoyed it but expected it to be better. It was pretty schmoopy but very pretty.
