Right? The parade is kind of incredible. It reminds me somewhat of the early days of the BOAC marathon, when the offerings were a bit more diverse than in some years. (The Oberlin ensemble caused some flashbacks.)

The Diner / Re: Last Movie You Watched
Last post by Madiel - Today at 03:42:31 PMQuote from: Madiel on Today at 03:58:53 AMI am in the middle of watching the Korean film "Decision to Leave". A Korean policeman investigating a man's death becomes obsessed with the much younger Chinese widow.
It's very quirky, but somehow that is intriguing me rather than annoying me. One of the most striking things is people appearing in scenes together when they're actually in different places, but one is observing or thinking about the other.
The second half did not disappoint.
Reminiscent of the classic film noir in terms of the plot, some nice twists, occasionally VERY funny (I had no idea I could laugh so hard at turtles), and definitely directed with visual flair (won Best Director at Cannes). Admittedly I broke the film roughly in half for personal reasons, but I think it was well-paced throughout. Well worth a watch.

Yes it wasn't you. I clipped the whole thing from the Mozart thread because it was off topic.

Last post by ando - Today at 01:32:13 PMI'm currently enjoying this Massenet documentary (2000, Scott Murray). It's a great intro and nice recap for admirers of the composer.
