Thanks Micca. I half-saw Angel at My table and wouldnt mind seeing it again. I remember some very acute scenes of her interacting with other writers, remarkable for the things you could see her not saying.
For those who liked the Crying Game, The Miracle is another by whatsisname, um, Neil Jordan. Two teens wander the beach and improvise stories about people they see, the son is a gifted musician who only wants to play for pay, his father will play for anyone who'll listen. The two aren't sure if they're just friends or what, and there's a circus backdrop. All in all, it's interestingly about what's special and what's banal. And the horse-girl from Hair is in it--Beverly D'Angelo?

I think Blockbusters go by managers. Ours is pretty good. After I saw Chaplin I wanted to see some of the old Chaplin things, and we had a couple here, in my mother's town the Blockbuster had many more. Bully is a pretty good movie, still in New releases here. The Anniversary Party. El Mariachi is also good for a comic book origin story kind of thing. The Spy Kids movies are fun. I like Kevin Smith all right, maybe Chasing Amy the most and also the least--more for trying, less for some story problems. Maybe Dogma the most indifferent. Spiderman is pretty good--it's amazing people thought it was miscast. Tobey McGuire is almost too perfect.
