Anya ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good lord, Suela. Does she need new chairs?
My grandmother was depressed all her life, and never particularly agreeable, but got incredibly disagreeable and/or sad after my grandfather died. It was awful. And I remember at one point she was in the hospital and my mom was like "Dude. She was SMILING. I don't know what they gave her, but they need to KEEP giving it to her!!" Sadly, they didn't figure out what made that happen so they could insist doctors keep her on it.
It's a little odd. But the cast is great: Bill Pullman, Chris Pine, Alan Rickman, Eliza Dushku (who plays a really predictable small-town bartender).
Does she need new chairs?
Well, yeah. That was the point: the new apartment is much smaller and won't have room for the big couch and loveseat they have in their current place.
The meds are so important, and I wish I knew which of them were the ones that kept her happy. Or at least less upset and anxious. But the Klonopin is definitely helping.
Shrift (and other Chicago types), have you seen Slightly Insulting Chicago Posters new River North design?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
... I will say that Bottle Shock is gorgeously filmed: it's like a love-letter to Napa and Sonoma counties. So much light in this movie, so many lingering shots over golden California hillsides covered with vinyards and live oak.
Gorgeous filming reminds me of the colour palettes in the Life Of Pi trailer. Is there, like, a special Indian film stock/Final Cut setting? And why can't they make a West Indian film that looks that gorgeous? We might not have tigers, but we have stories.
Mmm, sounds like I should see the film, but just as well I waited to rent it.
So Franny wrote an email to her grandmother today to tell her she loves her and she misses her.
And Bradley Whitford just showed up as an oenology professor at UC Davis.
I will admit that Chris Pine does not look his best in a shoulder-length mop.
Okay, and Enrico Colantoni! As a French wine journalist, of all things.
Such a cast.
'Suela,
I thought the movie was just okay. Mildly entertaining at best.
