Quote from: chuckhimselfohas anyone read Francis Ford Coppola's magazine?  I saw a number today and   opened at the editorial section and   it had a line written by Francis himself that read something like "I  believe heritage is the most important thing".  It's called Zentrope.

I haven't read his magazine, but I have done my part to support the Zoetrope Dream Factory by eating his pasta sauce and going to see the re-release of One from the Heart....

Has anyone seen Sofia's short, Lick the Star, which they used to constantly show as filler on IFC? It's pretty good.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Holy shit. I come back from a two-day trip and this whole thread has been blown to shit. Really guys, the whole bigot-or-not argument should have ended long ago. Pete, I respect your opinion and all, but I personally and respectfully disagree, as you saw with my last couple of posts that went unnoticed by most everyone. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion, and it's really not too important. Let us all just revel in the fact that it will the Xixaxie for Best Picture.

I don't know if this is normal but I just saw this again tonight and became really dperessed. I guess it's probably not good (not referring to the movie).

I love this movie and all, but don't make it a bigger deal than it is.

Why?

A.) He couldn't help relating the character of Charlotte to Sofia now that her marriage to Spike has ended.

B.) He realized he'll NEVER get with Scarlett.

C.) He felt bad for the portrayal of the Japanese people.

Sometimes, people say "depressed" when they mean "overwhelmed by sadness." To me, they're virtually opposites; real depression is actually the near-total lack of or desire for lack of feeling.

Well that's why it's wierd that it happened--because it is not a sad movie at all. And sure, "overwhelmed by sadness" better describes it, but either way the feeling went away by the time I woke up this morning. It really isn't a big deal, but it was just unusual, and I can't really even say why it happened. The same thing happened when I watched Mulholland Dr.; it wasn't really because of the pessimistic ending or any of that, it was just a vague sadness. Has anyone else had this sort of response to a movie before?

Does anyone know the name of the Japanese song that plays at the kareoke bar whil Charlotte and Bob are sat in th hallway? Im fairly certain it plays directly after 'City Girl' over the credits. Im gonna have to get the soundtrack.
