After scouring the local shops last night, I now own my very own copy of Everything is Illuminated. Yay! Bonus: intense conversation about the film and the superiority of independent cinema with the nerdy clerk who sold it to me

Wow, that is weird. I went out looking, briefly, to buy a copy of EII, but I could not find it for SALE close by (I will have to head out a bit further and I don't have time right now). So I went back to Blockbuster and rented it. The young man behind the counter, who looked like he would enjoy action flicks, waved it at me and said "We didn't get enough copies of this! This is a great film." And proceeded to lecture me on how all the good stuff is Indie these days and Blockbuster gets 200 copies of some "popcorn" movie and only 5 of things like EII and Good Night and Good Luck. And then he says "Even Brokeback Mountain! We're only getting 20 of that!" And then on and on about independent films. I went out of there grinning. To have you have the same experience is really funny.
I must admit when I saw the caps of Jonfen in his mutton chops I had NO idea it was some kind of dream sequence for Sammy. So....well, let's just say my 82-year-old mother, who saw EEI in the theater, was laughing and drooling at the same time.

Nice to hear him bitch about number of copies - that's one of my pet peeves too.
I'm still thinking about that scene. Someone really needs to put it online for those who are missing out. :)
