You're so right about this neglected series. And long ago, I read <i>Bring On The Empty Horses</i>. Great book, and that was a great except from it. I very much enjoyed reading your movie quiz answers.

Glad you also like LIFE AQUATIC-- I just remember smiling a lot when I first saw it, and feeling very happy as its world unfolded in front of me.<br /><br />And isn't that a great scene in LYNDON? I think Kubrick uses the slow build of that film so well, and it makes that scene so devastating in the end.Brian Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903729233401672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883634507539657866.post-87705575849817439572009-12-04T21:05:29.746-05:002009-12-04T21:05:29.746-05:00Boy, we really do disagree on a lot.

And along with being a member of the Coens Cult, I'm a member of the ZODIAC and LOTR cult, so I guess I'm dead either way.<br /><br />But I loved your LIFE AQUATIC answer, and I think you're pretty close to the truth for the most part, except that a lot of Anderson fans are luke-warm, at best, on that one. Which I do not understand at all.<br /><br />I also loved your BARRY LYNDON answer. That's one of the greatest scenes in film history, and I hadn't been so tired of thinking by that point, I might have gone the same route. What's great about that moment of selflessness is that it immediately bites him right on the ass.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883634507539657866.post-23629345784008543312009-12-04T21:02:01.292-05:002009-12-04T21:02:01.292-05:00Brendan,
