Yeah, I know. Who wouldn’t want to be in France for the annual film festival. I’m just thinking that this year sounds like an especially good one to check out because of its eclectic crop of movies, starting with Woody Allen’s new offering.
Woody isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as he used to be, but his stories have an unmistakable charm and he never ceases to load up his casts with interesting actors.
The other reason I wish I were at Cannes is that workmen will soon begin to renovate the rotted out deck/porch of this house, which means three weeks of noise, interruption, stress. I’m trying to get back to a writing routine after surgery and the last thing I need is a bunch of guys showing up at 7 am, blasting their boom box and making a racket. But such is life. Maybe I’ll invest in a good pair of headphones. Either that or I’ll spend a lot of time at my local library.
I absolutely loved “everyone says I love you.”it was such a charming film.
I see Owen wilson is in this, which is off putting to me, but we shall see.
I loved Vicky Christina Barcelona too, Melissa. I think these foreign locales have freshed old Woody. When I watched the trailer for the new one, I admit I kept saying, every time Owen Wilson was delivering a line, “Enunciate! I can’t understand you! You’re mumbling!” But we shall see.
I’m a Woody Allen fan from the 60’s. Recently, I loved Vicky Christina Barcelona.
Hmmm. Verry interrresting! As long as it has to do with Paree, I just KNOW my sis and bro-in-law will wanna go see. And it does seem to have that “interesting” cast, as you say…could be lotsa fun!!
Sorry about all the noise etc. you’ll have to get through. Get thee to a library. Oh, how I can relate. Last month, the wife found a fab-u-lous deal on wood flooring, so she (we) bought enough to cover North America. And so, now, must tear down all the wallpaper and paint all the walls (fa la la la la). And get new baseboards. And now, new appliances in the kitchen. Oh, by the way, they will be ripping up all the carpet on every floor — now, try to live anything remotely resembling a normal life! Oh, and hey, you might just want to move everything of value that you own out of every room, and…wait…you didn’t do that before the work started?!? Well well…can you imagine how much fun we’re having now…?
Same here, Freya. Manhattan, Annie Hall, Bananas – so many laughs.
Sorry to hear about your extreme home repair, Dave. I’m sure you’ll love it – when it’s over.
