i say fever
this reminds me of the children’s book the eleventh hour, an obsession of mine many moons ago. well, that intertwined with some monty python gags and a murderous rampage. the song isn’t so bad either. stefan nadelman, a job very well done. by sv

maybe there is a beast, maybe it’s only us…

beer
i prefer a nice bourbon but this made me smile a bit right down to the shakespearean title. ah, the simplicity of 1952 in america. what the hell happened? by sv
amour
whether you are in love, want to be, once were, or never were…you should go see this film. if you are a mortal human being, or perhaps a demi-god gracing the rest of us with your presence, you should also go see this film. michael haneke, thank you. by sv
