It's a portrait of an entire city
so are we done with Franz after part 1 or will the camera continue to follow him around? The way he treats women is especially unpleasant for me at this point in my life.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think he's the sick soul of Berlin, so he'll be around.

OK, thanks for the info. I'll shove that back to the bottom of the queue for future watching when it doesn't hit so close to home. I can't see that kind of behavior as anything but literal at the moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone who liked Mulholland Drive sell it to me?

I didn't like it one bit.

I sat through it, but found it dull and uninvolving.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to see The Duchess. It wasn't that exciting. It was pretty and well acted but the writing was meh. It was every so slightly historically correct but there wasn't enough of her gambling and money problems--just her love life and marriage.
I only went to see it because I was by myself and I figured DH would probably go see Appaloosa with me later.

my guests are loving The Duchess but I don't think we get many historians.

It's really quite lovely. There's not a lot of exposition or explanation of who the characters are but it works as a drama. Like I said, well acted but not overly exciting.
Now I just need to find a babysitter so DH and I can go watch Viggo.
He wants to put off Madagascar 2 untiil next weekend. No idea why, other than he ranks going to the movies with preschoolers right up there with root canal and rectal surgery.

Madagascar 2 is huge right now. If you don't want to see it in a crowded auditorium, it's wise to put it off.
