I am a multi-faceted personality of immense intelligence and charm. However I do not accept lip from people. So remember that if you contact me. I live in London, the cultural capital of the English-speaking world, par excellence.

It is most amusing that anyone could give a film such a silly title. And the film sounds classy, cough, cough, cough.Favorite Films

I thought I would move the Shostakovich discussion here - since everyone's all mad on the other thread. I think I will take your advice and find a dvd of "Lady Macbeth..." unfortunately Netflix doesn't have the De Nederlandse Opera DVD, but they have a version with "a Czechoslovakian cast lip-synching to a recording of a performance conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich." Do you know anything about that version? I've listened to some excerpts of the opera on CD, but didn't find it particularly interesting, so I'm excited to see the visuals, especially since the story sounds so interesting! As far as German films go, I haven't seen many, but wasn't crazy about any of the ones I have seen. :(

Have you ever lived in Athens, GA? I really think I used to know you. At the very least, I knew someone very much like you.

Love at First Bite
This film really is very funny indeed and has been one of my faves for many a long year. George Hamilton shows he is actually a very good comic actor – his Romanian accent is excellent. Lots of in… read review
Song of Norway
“Song of Norway” is a 1970 film adaptation of the hideously awful operetta of the same name, directed (if one can be bold enough to use the word) by Andrew Stone. It purports to tell of the early struggles…
