I agree with Hull Street. Life is much too short to dally with a woman like this. Silvermoon, based on the way you have described her she is a zero. She has manipulated you every which way and back again. She jerks you around to extort "love" from you. You are a perfectly good person as you are. If ...

Do I sense irony? My irony meter is flying off the charts.

Charlotte's comments about ikibana (Japanese flower-arranging) and John's use of hair products emphasize the absurdity of her position in Tokyo. Is she interested in ikibana? Not really. Is she starting to see a gulf between her husband and herself? Yes. She's floundering. She went to Japan because ...

Is that a real read or a simulated read?

I visited those cities as a rotten American tourist...not as a student. God, I never even graduated from college, even though I went for seven years.

I have this on VHS and skimmed through it last night. What a well-acted movie...the banter and comic timing are right on. Eva Dahlbeck and Gunnar Bjornstrand play off each magnificently. After seeing Bjornstrand play the heavy in so many movies, it's great to see him allow himself to play a puffed-u...

Have you seen "La Dolce Vita," jml2? Paola is like a distant possibility for Marcello's salvation. In the early part of the movie, you see Marcello's wild, hard-charging lifestyle and his chaotic relationships with women, and then one day he ends up at this little out of the way country restaurant a...

It's just a theory, but it's interesting to think about it. I'm trying to dig up my pictures of Paola. I found the one above on the net, but I taped part of "La Dolce Vita" long ago. I started going through my old videocassettes the other night and broke my VCR.

More... "Fellini ends his film on an almost mystical note, with the angelic Paola beckoning to an uncomprehending Marcello. (This was Valeria Ciangottini's first role; she remains a steadily-employed actress.) Paola could hardly be more unlike that kitschy Jesus statue we saw dangling precipitously ...

I've been fortunate enough to go to London, Oxford, Bath, and Windsor/Eton. I had a great time.

JM, it is a LONG, but great movie, and be prepared: Paola is only in two short scenes.

(If I haven't said it before) She is tough as nails. I wasn't feeling well last night, so I watched most of "LIT" again. If it had been me in that elevator with her after the fire alarm and she had looked at me the way she looked at Bob, it would have been all over. There would have been clothes fly...

Dammit, I need sweetie time, too. But it is a good post. I would like to see a lot of comments. And for those who haven't seen "La Dolce Vita," get off your fannies and see it. One thing Jacoby doesn't mention is Marcello's wildly intense relationship with his significant other (not Paola, who is on...

I saw this today at imdb.com. The poster's name is kp-jacoby. This is a fascinating take on the Bob-Charlotte relationship. Whether it is correct or not...we may never know. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. At the general imdb-page about "Los in Translation", there´s given the following "Trivia...

There is an ebb and flow of activity here. It is a small group, so be patient when you post...eventually someone will show up. Something I've noticed is that those of you from the U.K. say you are at university, while an American will say he/she is going to school, and will often include the name of...

Here you go, m00f:

I'll go see it, too. I want to see her in something good. I haven't seen "Island," I may or may not see "Match Point," and "Black Dahlia" sounds a little too horrifying for my taste. The last three weeks, I've had the time and inclination to see movies, but when I look at the listings, I'm not inspi...

You're lucky. I'm just over in Atlanta, and it is in the the thirties this morning. It'll be in the fifties tomorrow afternoon, but at least it will be sunny.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

I checked last night and they are sold out through this weekend. I don't know what constitutes a sellout, but the aquarium is a very large building. I know I'll sound like an idiot (everyone down here is gushing about the sharks and whales), but the most appealing animals to me are the seals and the...

What a fossil!

Hey, Scarlett! Make some good movies, darn it!
