No, not like that, i know what u were thinking. I went to see Insomnia yesterday at the cinema and realised that this was the first time that i've seen Al Pacino at the cinema, being too young to have seen most of his others. I've got to say as well, that he really was great, the Michael Corleone cold stare still cuts the mustard. The film in general was very good as well, by the director of Memento, had me tense the whole way through. Well worth seeing.

I'm lucky I live in a big city where they play "old" movies over and over again, too many to mention ! This summer alone it was Scarface and Carlito's Way as far as Pacino is concerned, this week it's Raging Bull with De Niro and "Insomnia" will hit the French screens next Sept. 18 and then Simone the next week or so.

I will see Pacino on the big screen for the first time next wednesday when Im going to celebrate the results of my first state exam......(irish equivalent of either GCSE's or A levels!?)
There are only a few clubs open that night and most of the tickets are already sold out so my friends and I are going to a nice restaurant followed by insomnia (of the pacino variety).
Almamater...you are so lucky....Dublin is such a lousy city.....I went to Paris last April and it was FANTASTIC....its one of my favourite places in the entire world.
Have you seen the film Amelié? I watched it a few weeks ago on video and I really loved it..what a nice film!

Goddaughter, "the grass is alws greener on the other side of the fence" : I'd love to spend some time in Ireland and you love Paris, we're never satisfied with what we have ! I'm happy you liked it here, yet it's different when you're a tourist and when you live + work in the city. But as far as entertainment + culture are concerned Paris is the best city in France ! That's why I settled here ! Next time you come, let me know and I'll show you around.  Yes, I saw "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" (full French title, = "The fabulous fate of A.P."), it was a smash hit over here + in some foreign countries. I liked it but I'm not crazy abt it though, not the kind of flick I can watch 10,000 times ! Since you're in Dublin and I'm a U2 fan (but only when they're a rock band !), I can't help but ask you if you know their club/restaurant and what's it's like ? AlmaMmater

Oh no, please, no Tour de France !!! When they arrived at the Champs Elysées I was watching Scarface (with Al Pacino) in a small theatre in the Quartier Latin. This weekend I'll go catch Raging Bull and I will be thinking of you all + how lucky I am !

I wasnt even aware that U2 had a club/resaurant!!!!
But my cousin is in fact an aquaintance of Bono's daughter (Eli is her name I think or something like that) and one her friends knows Bono quite well is often a guest in his house!
By the way my little sister is a big fan of that french song "Moi....lolita" and I often find myself humming it....it got into the top 30 chart her a while ago but its a pity there isnt more French music in the charts!
As for the film Amelié I thought it was very cute but I really like the french language...it sounds so beautiful.

Its really cool to see and hear where people are from...I live in a small town in California. As for Amelie, we had it in a theatre here for like 9 months...I really enjoyed it.
There are men in this world who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games, they jump out of their automobiles in a rage if someone so much as scratches their fender, they humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. I have seen a man, a fool, deliberately infuriate a groop of dangerous men, and he himself without any resources. These are people who wander arround the world shouting 'Kill me. Kill me.' And there is always someone always ready to oblige them. We read about it in the newspapers everyday. Such people of course do a great deal of harm to others also.
