Second, I am watching Chungking Express tonight (1st time). What are your thoughts on it?

I really liked it. The whole thing was a marvel to look at. It’s kind of hard to review, but I gave it an 87/100.

“no numerical reviews here. we’re not mathematicians. we expect to hear your thoughts and sensations regarding the film, as well as you can express them. we dont do quantifiables. thats imdb stuff.”
Haha, are you from IMDb? That is where I come from. Alrighty, well, for the next film I watch I’ll try and do it your guys’ way.

What scene in a movie matched perfectly with your life at the moment that you couldn't help but explode with emotions? about 4 years ago

When I first saw Cinema Paradiso, I thought I felt the same emotions as Toto during those final minutes. I don’t think I’ve ever related to a film so well.

Oh, and Michael Mann. I don’t know how I forgot him. He’s worse than Fincher.
