I never allow myself to be influenced in the smallest degree either by the atmospheric disturbances or by the arbitrary divisions of what is known as time.I would willingly reintroduce to society the opium pipe of China or the Malayan kris but I am wholly and entirely without instruction in those infinitely more pernicious and moreover quite bleakly bourgeois implements the umbrella and the watch

Might see it in a few weeks. The premise sounds like it could be silly, overly symbolic or very touching, really could go anywhere.

It's screening at the London Film Festival the day I'm going down. Haven't decided what to see yet. For the late screening, it's a toss-up between Air Doll and Trash Humpers. Not sure myself about the former, having not seen any of Kore-eda's work; I certainly want to, but I'm not sure if this is going to be one for newcomers.

I'm an ugly bag of mostly water born to be informed and the only one that knows me is Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Tried to buy earlier in the day but can't speak Korean so I needed some assistance. But I did manage to get one of the last 10 seats to "Dust of Time" bitches. Can't wait!

Just saw Distance. Couldn't sleep the whole night because I was thinking about the ending. It's incredible, I know it's hard to find but it's well worth the effort or any expenses.

Gotta be one of the most overlooked films of this decade and I can hardly see why because the rest of his stuff is fairly notable, and given the synopsis you'd think it would draw in a bit wider audience.

Really interested in what Capo,RNL, Michael, tum etc. would think of this guys work.

Opted for neither - though obviously if there are tickets left and I'm requiring a third film that day, I could still go.

Seeing Chloe and Metropia. The former'll be my first Egoyan film.
