Although I don't like Vivaldi's music in real life, I think Georges Delerue's repurposing of it throughout "A Little Romance" works exquisitely.

Burros wrote so sensuously. Snip: "If you bypass the antipasti, you will miss perfectly cooked mozzarella in carrozza..." Her writing made me hunger for foods I'd never eat.

Were they singing, "Somewhere, there's a place for us..."?

The movie is a masterpiece.

Well, at least it isn't anything sexual. Thank heavens!

Oh, wait. What was that David Russell film from 30 years ago?

Is there a way to banish Adobe AI "assistant"? It keeps popping up with -- "this looks like a long document; wouldn't you like to read a summary?" Well, no.

Yes, how about @thebulwark.com live in #pdx outside the ICE facility? Sarah & Tim could have a focus group of dancing frogs & inflatable unicorns. Participatory journalism a la George Plimpton. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social #amphifa #resist

It's vastly superior to both. If you've never seen SHOOT THE MOON, you're in for a treat. Admittedly, a very dark treat.

N. T. Molloy @parallelblue.bsky.social · 12d

Not that Oscars mean anything, but Diane Keaton certainly should have been nominated for Shoot the Moon. The sheer bravery of her work in it.... <shivers!>

N. T. Molloy @parallelblue.bsky.social · 12d

I love it, too. Shoot the Moon was a career-best (or close enough) for everyone in it -- and certainly for Alan Parker.

N. T. Molloy @parallelblue.bsky.social · 12d

Agreed! Along with Manhattan, this is my favorite performance of hers.

Like eating ice cream?

N. T. Molloy @parallelblue.bsky.social · 12d

Such a great film. Loved how she snaps at Albert Finney -- "like eating ice cream?!"
