Oooh, I love Pinter.

Yes, me too. And Dirk Bogarde is featured prominently in many of these films. He's such wonderful actor in these types of films - and mezmerizingly handsome.

I've only seen stage productions of Pinter's work.

This man IS delicious.

For a good Dirk fix, check out Modesty Blaise. It's a great costume flick (and, along with Danger

iabolik the basis of Roman Coppola's CQ).

We saw I <3 Huckabees last night. What a fantastic movie! So brilliant. Especially since it's eventual philosophical conclusion was SO in line with my own philosophy. Yay, I may be looking to purchase this one.

Heh - I picked this up last week, yeah, loved it - can't wait to see it again. I so want to quit my job to become an existential detective.

Somehow, I fell for the mediocre reviews and avoided Huckabees (which is silly, because I almost never agree with the SF Chronicle critics). Based on the two posts above, I'm going to watch it this weekend. Thanks!

I, too, recommend the film. Do you like his other movies? It's more like Flirting With Disaster than Three Kings or Spanking the Monkey, even, but it's obviously got his stamp, and it's entirely its own film. I laughed out loud quite a lot. Delightful performances all around.

I will add my stamp of approval to I <3 Huckabees. Although it appealed to Chris' philosophical sensabilities more than mine, I found it delightfully refreshing and clever.

I finally saw Finding Neverland last week and absolutely loved it!
