It does have it's bleak moments but it leaves you feeling good, he just had to the hit the bottom before he was able to start moving up again. <br /><br />You might be surprised. You'll have to google the restaurants.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-36929704114491751252012-01-12T02:43:52.717-05:002012-01-12T02:43:52.717-05:00What an interesting concept for a film!

I shall have to see if there's an Ethiopian restaurant near me.

I think it was a Buster Keaton film. Very slapstick but it was cool.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-86575600382623977042012-01-11T21:50:22.410-05:002012-01-11T21:50:22.410-05:00Intriguing!!

A few years ago, one of the independent theaters here showed a couple of the influential silent films (and I can't remember which ones anymore), complete with a piano player in the theater to give us the actual experience! It was really, really cool - and the piano player was the guy from A Prairie Home Companion, so very good.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-87283161500957218792012-01-11T20:59:47.177-05:002012-01-11T20:59:47.177-05:00Yeah, that was a bit of a kick when he was down.

The best part was when the wife left the note and told him to see 'Beauty Spot'!!<br /><br />I also liked the lead actor, but I'm rooting for Michael Fassbender to get Best Actor for 'Shame,' which was my favorite male performance this Oscar cycle.Enricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312588086679501015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-8486061243831187012012-01-11T19:22:45.546-05:002012-01-11T19:22:45.546-05:00Did they have talkies back then Val? ;-) It's ...Did they have talkies back then Val? ;-) It's a very interesting picture and you really have to pay attention because visual cues are so important, you can't slack off and text while watching. :-) Of course if every movie was like this it wouldn't be so intriguing, but it was a fun change.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-51212261965047327342012-01-11T19:12:59.469-05:002012-01-11T19:12:59.469-05:00That food photo looks delicious.

And I haven't seen a silent movie since I saw a special showing of <i>Metropolis</i> in college (not like I was in college when it was first released, ha, ha!), so I'm curious to see this.Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.com
