That's just silly! adds
Also Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, it looks like I'm no longer going to Berlin. The meeting's been moved to Barcelona. I am only allowed to visit European cities whose names begin with B, apparently.
Sagrada Familia!

Ooh, the library has both Barcelona and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I'm set.

(Netflix unexpectedly led me to Gloomy Sunday, which looks like a good Budapest movie.)
I really enjoyed Kontroll. Uhm. Also, Sunshine. And yes, Gloomy Sunday also.

Ooh. It's on Instant and it's by the same guy who did Predators. It looks pretty cool, thanks. Looks more like my thing than Sunshine. I think I heard about Gloomy Sunday years ago, and it sounds intriguing.
Boom, two Budapest movies on Instant Netflix and two Barcelona movies to get from the library, and I can have a foreign film weekend extravaganza! (Well, the Barcelona movies are not foreign films. But you know.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sagrada Familia!
Parc Guell! Highly recommend getting a picnic lunch at the market and wandering around Parc Guell. It's gorgeous and has great views.

I've been home sick the last couple of days, after Ryan generously shared his chest infection with me. He's so giving. Anyway, this week has been Beatles week on one of the music channels, and I had the opportunity to watch Help!
...They weren't even going to pretend they could act, were they? (I spent most of the film suffering serious cognitive dissonance watching Rumpole of the Bailey pretend to be Indian.)
On the other hand, I realised while watching that the soundtrack is the only (original) Beatles album I don't have, and it contains some of my favourite early Mop Tops. This must be rectified.

Kontroll says in the beginning that it's totally not about the Budapest subway (and in a way, maybe even the most important way, it's not). But it does have a very Hungarian feel to it. Which is to say, a bit depressing, wonderfully humorous, and a little dark. Jon was really impressed by it.

Yes! Seriously, allow some good time for sightseeing.

They weren't even going to pretend they could act, were they?
Charm and charisma can really cover up serious acting deficiences. That, and a decent script, which A Hard Day's Night had and Help! didn't.
