Was just reading that there's well over 350 different recordings of Caravan in the public domain. The first being from 1937. I downloaded the MP3 this morning and have been listening to it over and over. Amazing song.

Right in the feels with this one. I mean, not exactly but so, so, so damn close to my childhood it was kinda scary. Bias aside it's a really great, quirky, funny film and I highly recommend it. Murray's performance is great.

Ya. Kinda blows my mind how many people dislike that movie and find it boring.

I'm that guy, LIT was a total bore-fest. Not even Scarlet Johansson and Ribisi could save that yawn of a screenplay.

Watched Foxcatcher last night. Pretty good film. I was always intrigued by the story as it was big news when I was growing up. These types of crimes were very rare at the time. Carell really has blossomed into a hell of an actor. Guys with great comedic wit always seem to transform into great drama/character actors over time.

I'm not trying to change your opinion but I always thought this sums up the movie perfectly.

I can't tell you how many people have told me that just don't get "Lost in Translation." They want to know what it's about. They complain "nothing happens." They've been trained by movies that tell them where to look and what to feel, in stories that have a beginning, a middle and an end. "Lost in Translation" offers an experience in the exercise of empathy. The characters empathize with each other (that's what it's about), and we can empathize with them going through that process. It's not a question of reading our own emotions into Murray's blank slate. The slate isn't blank. It's on hold. He doesn't choose to wear his heart on his sleeve for Charlotte, and he doesn't choose to make a move. But he is very lonely and not without sympathy for her. She would plausibly have sex with him, casually, to be "nice," and because she's mad at her husband and it might be fun. But she doesn't know as he does that if you cheat it shouldn't be with someone it would make a difference to.

I never bought into the subtleness of the plot. I seem to be by myself when it comes to my dislike of the movie so take that for what its worth. I've always been a huge Murray fan and hes usually excellent, but the movie just seemed to go nowhere for me. I understood the whole dynamic of their relationship however the movie was so slow It was almost painful to watch.

I hated it the first time I watched it, but that was when it first came out so I was super young. Then I revisited it a few years ago, and it blew me away. Not much happens, I'll give you that - but it's about two unhappy people forming an incredible connection and they're played by two of my favourite actors. Nice cinematography as well, and the use of MBV is excellent.

The fact that they are both so far from home in a foreign place has a lot to do with it too.
