And while I'm here, and if anyone's interested, I'm planning on watching, by, say March 15, Le Cercle Rouge, the 1970 French crime caper directed by Jean-Pierre Melville that's famous for its 35+ minute heist sequence. Criterion has put out an edition, but I doubt that's what Netflix'll send me. I'd be interested in discussing it if anyone's interested. Otherwise, my cat can get my two cents'. Here's a trailer to whet your appetite, francophiles:
Meet you all soon in the walk-in freezer with Manny.

First of all, I'd just like to put on the record that because the NYer selected that book, it is danged near impossible to get your hands on down here. I'm going to keep trying but it is what it is. Stupid Kate and Leo movie too. Talk about the perfect storm.
ReplyDeleteSecond: I will actually be *in* NYC on the 15th so I'll be unable to attend the viewing as well.
However, it's not all bad news. I did finish the Lobster! Comments to follow above.
$12 with standard shipping on Amazon. There are lots of reasons for not reading a book, but this ain't one of them :)
