I know it does not for some people.<br /><br />Glad the Filmspotting recommendation is working out for you. I figured especially since they're Chicago guys and they're always talking about local theaters, it would be right up your alley. Filmspotting SVU is actually a spinoff hosted by a couple people who used to guest host the regular Filmspotting. They're no Adam and Josh (sorry you missed the Adam and Matty days), but they do have their moments.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-10184341493465596722012-03-28T11:05:02.722+11:002012-03-28T11:05:02.722+11:00"The Saddest Music In The World" was a m..."The Saddest Music In The World" was a movie I started and never finished. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't.<br /><br /> And I will admit that a few months ago I started "The Arbor" and didn't finish it. But I was really under the weather and I quickly came to realize that was not a movie I should have been watching under the weather. So it's back in my queue and I'll return to it eventually.<br /><br />On another note, on your recommendation I recently started listening to the mentioned Filmspotting podcast. Really good stuff there. That breakdown of "Pulp Fiction" they did was just fantastic.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.com
