The evening of watching Taxi Driver followed by Breakfast at Tiffanys on a date has haunted me for years.
made me laugh out loud.
It was sort of "Let me put you through emotional rauma, then lighten the mood. Now let's make out."
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Criterion has a new website, now with the ability to watch streaming film (mostly for a fee.)
I wish they were on demand as opposed to streaming. My tsetse fly-like attention span means that I often watch things in more than one sitting.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I seem to have somehow started a rumour there's going to be a Buffy movie.
Uhm, well done me.

OMG!!!! BUFFY MOVIE! BUfFy N AnGle 4EvAH!!! OMG!!!@!
Er. Hee. Anyway, a friend mentioned that he heard they are actually making a movie of "Machete" (faux-trailer in the "Grindhouse" flick.)
Anyone know if this is true? Because that trailer made me laugh and laugh and laugh, and I would totally go see "Machete."

Robert Rodriguez says he wants to, but right now it looks like he's busy making Sin City sequels.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just watched Spirited Away. Can you believe I almost punked out because the spirits were too gross? But Sen kept me in, and I was utterly charmed by the end.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We rewatch Spirited Away about three times a year, more than Howl. It's lovely, and we like revisiting it. The coal sprites were also in My Neighbor Totoro which, while simple and aimed at kids, may be my most favorite Miyazaki ever--it's so beautiful, much of it with a langorous pace, all of it touched with a gentle imagination.
Totoro is a love poem to a vanished way of life and countryside, remembered through a child's eyes after WWII. Spirited Away is has a much more modern sensibility, but with that same sense of gentle imagination, overlaid with a more adult awareness of the ominous.
Miyazakis are my comfort films. I'm glad you stuck with Sen and got through the gross parts.

We just introduced Matilda to Kiki's Delivery Service.
Both JZ and I were pining for Kiki's city. Just one of the loveliest settings ever for a film.

Liv hasn't seen KDS yet. I need to remedy that.
