Sullivan's Travels is my favorite of the bunch
What? What are you talking about? It's girls and spaghetti. We love girls and spaghetti.

Great. Thanks, sdedalus. I'll do my best to follow your suggestion.

How'd you like them so far?

Last night was rough. I actually fell asleep about 20 minutes into Early Summer and Sullivan's Travels, at no fault of the films. I'm gonna give them another shot tonight. I'll let you know.

Today's Netflix delivery, what should I watch, they're all new to me:

Fitzcarraldo
Two-Lane Blacktop
The Wayward Cloud


(i'll admit i'm leaning TLB)
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I want to say the The Wayward Cloud since I know you like Tsai... but not sure (I like it).

yeah, i am most excited about that one, but i am pretty tired now and would prefer to be a bit more attentive when i do that one.  i doubt i'll feel bad at less-than fully alert for the other two.

The first two are too fantastic.  I can't decide between them.

Follow your heart!

Two-Lane Blacktop is a pretty sick movie. I hope you love it.
