I assumed that tea was at at old haunt men's club from thei past. As for the church, I don't know but I'd be willing to scout around London for it.

Actually, if I could remember any of the names on the plaques, that might be a good research starting point.

Watched The Departed again tonight.
I predict:
Best Picture
Best Director
and
Best Adapted Screenplay.


I love this film.

In my netflix queue, coming soon. Still on the big screens in SF, I think I had better see it there, to hell with netflix!

Best Director, certainly. The "overlooked till now" factor is overwhelming in Scorcese's case. Too bad, because Greengrass pulled off a far better directorial feat.


Peter O'Toole might right the sentimental wave as well.

Ah well, I hardly look to the Oscars to determine the best of anything, and either of the two sentimental votes would be legitimate winners for their current works in any case.

While I still haven't seen King-Scotland, I really want Peter O'Toole to get the golden boy. I predict I will cry if he does.

Gremlins was in the Under $5 bin at some store so I picked it up a few weeks ago.

Many good memories about this movie when I last saw it in 1985 or 1986. I remmeber loving it. It was funny and a little bit scary.

Yet more evidence that I was quite a retarded child. Not that I was wrong to be retarded when I was 11, but I wonder what my parents' excuse was.

We just got back from Music and Lyrics. Fluffy chick flick. Catchy tunes though. Sadly I may have to buy the album filled with faux pop songs almost all sung by Hugh Grant.

Also saw Letters from Iwo Jima today. It's very well made. It continues to amaze me but Eastwood really may be our best commercial director going today.

That, despite its unique point of view, it really does boil down to a basic "pointlessness of war" storyline and doesn't really probe any original territory. But I really do admire the balls of Eastwood going to whatever honchos he has to go to and saying "I'm going to make a World War II movie, covering the same event I will have just covered in a different movie but from the Japanese point of view and I'm going to do it in Japanese."

I have to wonder if he just did it as an "in your face" to Rob Marshall who said it just wasn't feasible to do Memoirs of a Geisha in Japanese using unknown Japanese actors.

I was at the mall today, and thought I would check this out, except that it's no longer playing there! I was seriously pissed. Instead they're playing all kinds of worthless ****. I mean, Night at the Museum is still playing! WTF? Asshats.
