It's a fun town... I may be moving to the east coast in the near future though.

Where on the east coast?

I need great public transportation, Hank.
I don't drive.
New York gives me that.
And so much more.
High rent...loud Dominicans...alcoholism...

Yeah Cleveland public trans is mostly shitty buses filled with the dregs of society.

I'm looking at a job in Philly. I haven't expanded the search to NYC yet but who knows. Me + bars till 4am would be highly dangerous. What part of the city do you live in anyway?

Uptown Manhattan.
Washington Heights.
And my rent is actually considered not too bad for Manhattan.
It's still fucking high.

I've never thought of living in Philly.
Give it a try.

i went to Villanova and loved philly. i was a frigging cheesesteak cook there for a while. i could move there in a second. there's probably a greater chance i'd end up in nyc though, way more jobs for me there.

Back to Rescue Dawn... the more I reflect the better I think it was. I was actually kinda dreading a Herzog attempt at a hollywood-style war flick. His one big flop IMO was when he seemed to try to make a somewhat straight film with Invincible. Only this time he went with really fucking good actors. I don't know what the budget was for this thing but he definitely did not skimp or cut any corners. Wonderful on-location scenery and tasteful SFX. It was faster paced than much of his work but there are a few undeniably Werner sections. I knew the storyline already but the film blew me away regardless. Very fucking tense practically the whole way through. I don't want to give anything away but there's a shot near the end involving a white tablecloth that seriously beautiful. Will see it again in the theater, can't wait for the DVD extras.

I liked it a lot. I really can't discuss it without ruining it, so I won't say anything. Enjoy.

Seeing Rescue Dawn tonight, however I saw the preview last week and it may have given away a fair bit.

I knew the whole story going in, having seen Herzog's previous doco about the story.

Y'know, I don't think this film was that good.

Beautifully filmed, esp. opening scene. Jeremy Davies was the fucking star. I think Bale was very good at whatever it was he was trying to do, but the characterisation was fucking weird. It was like some sort of gung-ho "USA! USA!" thing, but he just came across as a bit thick. And that last scene... What?

I just got Rescue Dawn on DVD. I hope it's good, blanks aren't cheap.

...first I'm going to Watch Mulholland Drive again, then I'm going to watch Paris, Tejas again, then IF I've not killed myself through the ensuing depression I may watch it.

It's a feelgood film. You should probably leave it alone.

3:10 to Yuma was so-so. I shouldn't have watched it after seeing all three seasons of Deadwood in a row just a few weeks prior.

I didn't like Crow except that cool scene with the fork.

I did think that it was Luke Wilsons best role to date.

Ive seen quite a few Bale films the last couple of weeks:

Batman Begins: Seen it before, but had to refresh my memory. Its the best Batman film so far. I cant wait for The Dark Knight.

Harsh Times: Disappointing. Bale was great thought. Friends of mine said that he sucked in this film, just because his character is a stupid fuck. Wrong! He did a great job as usual.

Equilibrium: I hated it. Such a gay film.

Rescue Dawn: Saw minutes after I saw Equilibrium, and it made me realize how shitty Equilibrium really is. Certainly not Herzogs best, and it didnt blew me away or anything like that, but I liked it. Judas is right about that last scene... What the fuck?

3:10 to Yuma: Gonna watch it tonight.
