for a laugh

Chris, glad you liked Primer. I've watched that film probably 10 times since it came out. I am pretty sure that I have a grasp on what happened. There have been rumors of Carruth's next film, which is apparently "mind-blowing." In an interview last year he said that the new website for it is just a place holder as it has not found adequate financing yet. Let's hope it comes through soon.

As far as Zach Braff is concered, Garden State is the only thing of his that I really like. Lisa, glad you mentioned the soundtrack. It introduced me to Zero 7. You might remember them from this incredibly awesome party scene.

John, I'm with you on both Harry Potter and LoTR. I was not aware of the BBC adaptation but will have to see if I can locate it. You gave me Breaking Bad. Maybe I'll start it.

Is it wrong to say that my favorite Wes Anderson film is Hotel Chevalier? I don't disagree with everyone including The Life Aquatic on their Top Ten. It is probably my second favorite film of his but I have had the type of relationship in Hotel Chevalier. My favorite scene is the one that starts about 9:20 in, where they are laying on the bed and he tells her that he will never be her friend.
