Yo, dawg. Nice to hear from you. You couldn't make it all the way through Eraserhead? That's too bad--it's a great movie.

Befade--Thanks for the excerpt from the Notes novel. I think I prefer the movie's ending.

Thanx, bro. Good to peek my head in the old neighborhood.

So far my favoritte film of 06 is Little Miss Sunshine, but I haven't seen a whole lot.

That Jennifer Hudson sure can sing, though, huh?

I do too, Billy......the novel takes you into the swamp and leaves you there.

Hello, Brownie.......was wondering about you the other day.

I don't think so.

And I don't think George Lynch's music (Dokken, Lynch Mob or solo) has ever been in a David Lynch film. That would add too much confusion to the movie....

I probably would have made it all the way through Eraserhead if Lynch had used Dokken's awesomely awesome power ballad, Alone Again, in the score.

Have you not seen The Departed? And where have you been? And why can't you spend some time here? No pressure, just wonderin'.

for the most part, she doesn't make a fool of herself in her pursuit of Sheba.

LOL. As if too much confusion was ever a liability in Lynchburg!

Now, Kelly...

And the mind boggles to imagine him working with Jane...

If only La Streep had married Visionary David, then she'd be Meryl Lynch.

Still enjoying rereading Notes on a Scandal. I don't think Barbara is a sociopath, however. Sociopaths are charismatic, lie easily, feel no guilt, use people. Barbara has decided Sheba is her calling. The story is told from her perspective.....like it's her life's ouevre (sp?) to write about and examine Sheba's every move. "The world has been waiting for Barbara to let us know everything about Sheba."

I see it as obsessive/compulsive stuff. And probably not behavior that has ever been completely duplicated. Barbara has the self control to record all the minutae.....for the most part, she doesn't make a fool of herself in her pursuit of Sheba. And of course, there's self-hate. Barbara is fascinated with Sheba......she acknowledges that she herself is a bore.

Notes on a Scandal is a taut, intense human drama of passion and deceit extremely well written by Patrick Marber of Closer fame. It has two extrordinary performances by Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. Judi's depiction of desire admixed with connivance has to be seen to be believed. As far as I could see, Notes does not have a single false note.
