Another Woman is probably one of my favorite movies - one of Woody Allen's underrated classics, if you ask me.

[viruswshoes]

Good to know.
I've seen my fair share of his films over the years, including Annie Hall, Hannah & Her Sisters, Everybody Says I Love You, and New York Stories (with which he was involved). Still, I'm on a director kick at the moment... hence the Lynchie, as well. ;)

Ack! Your comments page is broken... oh... There's the comment button.

Not that we'll want to be in front of the TV most of the time while you're out here, but we should maybe make up a list of movies to watch while you're here. Might be a good thing to do while recovering from long nights out and such. I propose The Big Lebowski (wouldn't be a bad way to kick off a trip to LA) and possibly Little Nicki. Also wouldn't hurt to find some we haven't seen before but should have.

Comments page is back to normal now.
Yeah! That sounds like a lot of fun, actually. Do you have both of those, or should I pack them in my luggage?
Are there any that you really wanna see that you can think of right now?

[j4yx0r]

I've got Lebowski. We should talk and come up with something. I also might want to involve my special lady friend in the discussion.

OK. Speaking of talk, I have lots of good news for you! Tee hee. You should try to give me a call this weekend.

Woody Allen movies are my favorite!!! I think you'll love Zelig!!

Oh, and Boondock Saints is among my favorites too. This is a good list! There are so many movies I need to watch that I've never seen... like Pulp Fiction.

My $.02

[viruswshoes]

I was pretty young when that film first came out, around 14, I think. And I know for a fact that my folks would not have let me watch it. Combine that with a long-standing tendency to wait and see a lot of popular films until the hype dies down, and I didn't see Pulp Fiction until I was almost 20.
I thought it was overrated. I really enjoyed Reservoir Dogs, though.

Just so you know, it's precisely because of that "hype-free watching" principle that I have still not seen films like Titanic, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, Jaws or any from the Indiana Jones series. ;)

Re: My $.02

I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs either... but elbobo and one of his friends are planning "Tarantino Night" so I think I'll see them both very soon...

Addendum to "My $.02"

[viruswshoes]

Oddly enough, though, I was allowed to go see The People Vs. Larry Flynt. Go figure!
