We spent last weekend in Richmond, VA with some of the wife's family. They were all Morrissey fans... sons, daughter, parents... they all enjoyed Morrissey. The idea of a whole family enjoying the same thing like that, so much so that they went to countless concerts together, is pretty cool. I've been listening to the Smiths and to You Are the Quarry today in honor of them and all the lazy dykes I know. (actually, all the dykes I know are quite the opposite of lazy)
Looks like we'll be moving to Richmond when I'm done with my masters program... Will that be the end of NYC for Wife and Man?
I've been reading articles from The Hidden God: Film and Faith, the catalog/book that the MOMA put out when they did the Hidden God film series a few years ago. Wife and I saw some films during that screening... It was the first time she had seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
We've been watching The Decalogues with a group of people. Could be fun to watch some of these films with a group of people too... Some of the films in the book that I would enjoy watching in the near future include: Close Encounters, Groundhog Day, Artificial Intelligence: A.I., Au Hasard Balthazar, Magnolia, 3 Godfathers, Vertigo.
Anybody want to watch (or sit through) these with me? I'll probably make the wife watch them with me. At the very least Magnolia! and I think I own Balthazar and haven't watched it since getting it from the wife as a gift. We can be uber dorks and read the articles in the book together and then watch the movie.
(this reminds me of the time that I got into a debate with a conservative girl over the spiritual qualities to Pleasantville and it's use of color... Let's add Pleasantville to the list, and the Thin Red Line)

i got to watch balthazar in class last semester. poor donkey.
but what what! virginia! (i guess i shouldnt say anything when i might be going to tehas.)
by the way, if i do move to texas my dad and i are going to stop at dollywood on the way. and graceland. that almost makes it worth it.
I heart Pleasantville! It is a wonderful movie. Lots of my professors in college talked about it. BUT I did not like AI. There's a scene that really bothered me and so I didn't finish watching the movie. I know it is a movie but there are scenes in movies sometimes I know will bother me when I see them - just really random stuff (there's even a few in War of the Words which was, for all practical purposes, pretty corny). Hey there's this band I just started listening to (and love) called Judd and Maggie and their site looks like something you would design. There's even a little rubber ducky on the table like the one that kept moving around in Nuts. It's juddandmaggie.com. Glad you peeps had fun in Virginia! Yay for being southerners again very soon ;)

3 godfathers?? Who is in that
hrrmmm...i like the idea of book club turning into "film club" and eventually just "movie night" (perhaps at some point morphing into "paintball thursday!!")
What movie were you and mcmuller discussing at my house last month?
