WEEK 28





28. THE LAST METRO, dir. FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT, 1980

i saw only 4 movies while i was away.
when i got home, we excitedly resumed & finished the 4th season of the wire.
last night we scurried around town, going to multiple video stores to find the disks containing the 5th season.
while looking at new releases, the box for the last metro caught my eye.
today i baked recipe-less cookies on a whim. they turned out pretty well, at least edible.
i'm posting the last metro on a whim, as well; i don't know much about it.
despite the whimsy contained in this first-post-back, i don't think the movie itself will be whimsical. it will likely far beat this post in quality to the degree that the post might beat it at whimsy. i must still be a bit jet-lagged, despite no time zone change. brooklyn - lagged. anyway, glad to be back to film-trading w. juliet!

wonderful! i haven't seen this one, either.

also, it's heartening to find we've both been on the same track, having forfeit films for tv-on-dvd for awhile. one day i'm going to check out the wire (because i know it's going obsess me, too--geez), but damn it, not for awhile. this sopranos thing is all-consuming.

back to films! great choice, sasha, and welcome back, film orgy.
