Cloud Atlas: A Huge, Long Movie of Movies.
"fucking dazzling" is "fucking dazzling," Chuck. You plunk the keyboard like a proper Clever Trevor. Your film review is pure because you did not link it back to Mitchell's "fucking dazzling" prose. You can't really go there, not like that. I mean, Kubrick's The Shining and its King "source material" are two different things. Short stories. Short films. what was that French one (I think) where the troll/monster comes up from the sewers through manholes in Japan (I think). So, with Samsara, The Master and now this, visual technique (what else?) is the chatter. At any rate, the Chuckster types a good film review. Night on Earth, that's another good short film collection, with the drunk dude sitting in the ice and snow.

Eating the Emerald City Volcano: Mount Rainier on Fire.
EL GAUCHO, used to be known for excellent food and service and high prices. These days, it's very good food, so so, sometimes outright rude, service, and high prices. This joint no longer deserves "Special Occasion" status; they seem to have settled into selling high priced drinks and appetizers in their lounge. Sad, a great restaurant decays and rots from within...
