I don't know, Flower, Cameron Diaz is a good comedy actress, only the trailer shows all the best scenes of" Bad Teacher" I'm afraid.
Saw "Billy Bathhouse", think it's based on Doctorow novel, where Dustin Hoffman plays a mafioso - would his part in LUCK be a reprisal? Saw another one with Hoffman - from 70s or something - "Papillon". Two attempted escapes from a French colonial prison.

After you see few hundred movies, when a lake or a waterfall appear on the screen - wait for a nude scene - that was about Billy Bathhouse, - Nicole Kidman plays a version of femme fatale.

Hope you had a wonderful 4th. I spent it all at the ocean.
Sunburn!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Svennie: hmmm I'll wait for that waterfall scene! haven't seen Nicole in the altogether since Eyes Wide Shut whew! BTW pickup on Mao's Last Dancer! wow! excellent film! Bruce Greenwood as the gay ballet director (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Billy Bathouse is this something new??

Bad Teacher: oh believe me there's a few things they couldn't put in the trailers that are worth the watch believe me!

what beach or shouldn't i ask? i spent my weekend at the ghetto white trash piss pool sigh! but July 8 take off for a week and a half in San Francisco! yeah like that!  :-*

My friend, Nancy, is here for a visit. It will probably rain Fri. or Sat. and we will go see a movie? Which One? Midnight in Paris? Tree of Life? Larry Crowne? or something else.....?

[OceanFlower]

On my way to San Francisco tomorrow  8) !! yippee! Not sure about any of those flicks Skor...

[skor]

HAVE FUN!!!

[Sven2]

Flower - it's for you, brah!

Train - Save Me, San Francisco

Tell us all???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OceanFlower]

only in Frisco right?  :P

[Sven2]

No, legally in my state also - too far for the righteous Mormons to land en masse and overtake the voters. Didn't they kill it in Cali?
Have a marvelous time in S-F, Flower, that's what I was trying to say.   :-*

Skor, the trailer of Larry Crowne was booooooring! Can't stand neurotic Allen and if you love photography/panoramic shots Tree of Life would be good. I think it's a sermon of a movie, although I'll watch it on DVD, as I don't go to the movies alone and can't get anyone to watch these type of films with me.

[OceanFlower]

svennie baby name the time and place and i'll be there with flowers and candy!   :-*

[Sven2]

Ok, it's a date then! :D

Aren't you suppose to be drinking up the sights and smells of San-Fransisco? C'mon, tell - "share and share alike" - is that a correct quote from JFC?

[OceanFlower]

i'm gonna "hold you" to that....  :-* okay made it to city lights bookstore for the first time since 1975 i guess they've gone a little commercial but wow have u ever noticed how similiar the logo for city lights is to the JFC logo? blew me away! browsed thru the beat poetry and lit section most of which i already own or have read but darn missed the Naked Women Eating exposition last weekend now that would've been interesting! stumbled across Jack Kerouac alley this time out of sheer exhaustion not b/c i had my pot goggles on like 40 years ago & walked into Vesuvios a great little bar with two floors... i guess i must've been really high last time i was there b/c it seemed huge to me then but its really just a hole in the wall... cozy... i bellied up to the bar and ordered a pepsi on the rocks with a twist... noticing a shot of absinthe was eight bucks... hmmmm.... maybe when i'm diagnosed w/ a life threatening disease i'll come over here and get totally wasted on 26 straight shots of absinthe a la dylan thomas and go to meet my maker totally stoned! i was having the time of my life but unfortunately the people i was with walked thru north beach like they were on a tour of auschwitz! nevertheless they changed the marquee on big al's from a showgirl to al capone and it is now closed having relocated to Kearny street... a few doors down was the Beat Museum... i walked in and it was 5 dollar admission to the actual museum... so i gotta pay five bucks to see the life i arleady lived? no thanks! browsed the old paperbacks all of which i once owned and bought for a quarter or thirty five cents when i was an aspiring beatnik and are now worth hundreds of dollars!! well to a collector anyway...  i found something out about myself on this trip... I guess i'm a city boy at heart... oh sure in the late 60s early 70s i was into this back to the land stuff and i did finally wind up doing that owned chickens and a goat and a horse and planted a huge garden and primed a well and all of that and it was damn hard work! but deep down inside i'm city thru and thru... i get off on the grunge and the weirdos and the panhandlers and the hustlers and the woman at the end of the bar nursing a drink talking into the air or the young girl on the 2nd floor with her feet propped up on a chair with a bemused smile on her face reading a book of poetry.. i dig the crowds and the young italian girls on grant street greeting you with a jolly bonjourno trying to lure you into their restaurant for dinner i dig the sex shops and theatres advertising totally topless girls 24 hrs a day... i dig the marijuana grow shop right across the street from washington square park with the statue of benjamin franklin that was on the cover of Trout Fishing in America.. i dig the crowded streets in Chinatown with these five old chinese guys playing traditional instruments like they were the Chinese Grateful Dead... i dig it all.. bring it on.... i got pavement running in these veins!  8)

Your ode to S.F is beautiful, Flower!
Break it down to random lines and it's a gemstone. I'm taken by the pure poetry of the style and the genuine emotion.

Still, the total absence of paragraphs is an assault - as usual. You're incorrigible, man! :D

[OceanFlower]

oh svennie baby you're my biggest fan!  :-* there's more wait til i get home 2day on the big bird! send me some good vibes  8)
