Re: Is LIT still Bill's Best?!

Hello. I don't know if anyone remembers me but it is fun to be back. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone thinks LIT is still Bill's best performance? I just saw Get Low . Bill is flawless, as usual, but I kept thinking, there should just be more of him and for him. No one else has come close to givin...

I used to post here, it must've been at least two years ago now, and I still find myself drifting back here, the Park Hyatt metaphor used earlier is oh so apt.

To glad to see this place is still up and running.
It's good to see you're still a visitor mothling :)

I'd agree that this does strongly see like the spiritual successor to LIT; Sofia Coppolla does seem to have her niche in depicting the relationship between father and daughter (indirectly or otherwise). I'll probably see this in the cinema, but more likely on my own on a quiet afternoon..

I hope you have a great trip and I'll be looking forward to seeing your pictures and videos! It may be a bit late to suggest, but Kamakura makes for a really nice day trip, about an hour or so on JR lines :)

i'd second that, i've not seen anything close to that in the official promo material, the closest thing would be the japanese dvd cover.
