I always thought I'd run away and live in Woody Allen's NY.(I'm not sure if not making it is sad or if I dodged a bullet.) "Tales of The City" SF. Feel privileged that I don't start ranking on the setting of "Raising Arizona," again. But we're never in movies unless as Tattooine or Iraq so that sort of makes me sad. Besides proving that every Easterner I meet really is shocked to find me literate and shod.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw the BEST movie-- Slumdog Millionaire.
I won't say anything about it except... go. Go right away.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Kiki's city and Tales of the City are two that appeal to me greatly. I also think I'd take my chances in Ankh-Morpork.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Scrappy, I've read some great reviews of Slumdog Millionaire.
We watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. Ugh. Cartoonish and awful. Just awful. What an unfortunate way to end the series.

There's some good interation with Indy and the kid, but much of the action is sheer cartoon and clumsy-feeling at that.

I'd like to live in the New York of On the Town. Especially if it comes with Gene Kelly.

“Not dead yet!”
The San Francisco of Tales is a wonderful choice. I would've also loved the Los Angeles of the late forties and fifties, I think.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The way I'm mainlining the series I practically am living in the Pittsburgh of Queer as Folk... which looks a lot like Toronto. The other day someone was getting a tour of the city and they cleverly skipped the incline ride. No inclines in Toronto, I guess.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I want to live in the villa in Italy in Enchanted April.
I also mainlined Queer as Folk, although I didn't make it through Season Four...

All,
TNT is doing a marathon of LOTR. Fellowship of the Ring is on now. I think Return of the King starts at 7pm ET.
