Mark Willms

aka the 'Woohoo Guy' I really like his rendition of So Into You, for obvious reasons, so I wanted to see if there was an actual full recording of it somewhere. A google search of his name brought up his website: markwillms.com. So I wrote him an email asking him if he perhaps had it on one of his al...

I'm bumping this because I'm at a loss... I swear I remember someone posting on this forum a self-made remake of the DVD cover. It was a high resolution image, very well done, suitable for taking to a print shop and then inserting into your DVD case to replace the crappy original one. But I can't fi...

Bittersweet is always the word I use to describe it. The ending is sad...take your pick of reasons: friendship ending, saying goodbye, going back to their spouses/lives - whatever. But the last individual shots we see of Bob and Charlotte, they're both smiling, if only slightly. So you're sad for th...

Nice. I did end up ripping the audio to mp3's, and I've been listening to them on my daily drive to work. I really enjoy it. You'd think it'd be safer than say, watching it on a portable dvd player...but I find myself picturing the action in my head to go along with the sound, and it might be just a...

Thanks for sharing the art, I really like the one with the robots.

I'm on a viewing kick again and have watched at least some part of the movie, if not all, nightly over the past week. Anyway I watched the other night while wearing headphones and the volume on the loud side and I really enjoyed it...seemed I was much more immersed in the movie, more like when I saw...

It used to be. Looks to have peaked around 130 or so. It seems to have only fallen off fairly recently. You can view the past lists here:

Before Sunrise had much more of a cliffhanger ending than LIT. They explicitly made the promise to return, so you're forced to wonder, "Did they or didn't they meet again?" But you're right, after seeing it I was a little uneasy about watching Sunset. Luckily they did that one well, and shows that a...

One of the things I liked best about these movies is the way the first one ends and the second begins.

Sunrise shows you all the places they visited that night, empty. It was very touching.

Sunset begins by showing you all the places they'll visit.

I saw them on May 2nd, the day the new album came out, at the Paramount (a very nice theater in Seattle) middle section 2nd balcony. That was quite an experience. And just recently at the Gorge. In all I've seen them 9 times (niiine tiiimes). For those of you who aren't in the pacific NW (all of you...

I saw them when they were in Seattle on Sept 30, but for some reason they played an early show (doors at 5pm) and I didn't realize it (or, more likely, I forgot). I was fully intending to just get there at 9 or 10. Luckily I didn't quite remember where the venue was so I looked it up online at about...

With the time it took to learn to do that, he might have spent it learning to play the song on a real piano. :wink:

I probably watched it 10 times in the week after first getting the DVD. Probably another 20 times since then so 30+ in all perhaps? I actually haven't watched it in a month or so, but soon I hope. It's not that I've reached a saturation point - I could probably still turn it on and enjoy it - I just...
