More films. The Coen

You will have to excuse me, but a person of my age that has slept in so many theatres has some culture of films.

I insist the Burn After Reading does not honor the name. It should be "Burn after watching". I did my homework and went to see the film this weekend!

The story is ok, the actors not bad, but why do they have to finish all the story in three minutes of conversarion when they still had time for more film?

I returned home and watched "No country for old men". Just to make me feel better.

By the way Mr. Bean, some bad or weak films with Brad Pitt in it:

Less than Zero
Contact
Interview with the Vampire
The Mexican
Spy Game
Seven Years in China

Do you need more?

Carpe Noctum!

Oh! you wicked one! You're probably not that old...

I have to confess I have not watched "Burn after Reading" but I thought the title was rather suggestive. Maybe I'll have to consider skipping the film...
My last Coen Brothers film was "Miller's Crossing", (long time ago) and I found it excellent. Concerning Brat Pitt you just forgot to mention "Babelia", an excellent film and an excellent role the guy performed. Since he married Angelina Jolie he's much better. Don't you think? The power of women! At least certain women...

Carpe Diem! late at night

Hello Virginia!

Years and years are piling in my soul but my brain has rested so long!

I imagine you refer to "Babel" an excellent film and an excellent director too.

I was talking about bad or weak films with Brad Pitt in them!

Thank you for your interest young lady!

Carpe Noctum!

Yes, that's right! I meant Babel. These things should make you think that I'm not as young as I would like.
