you read that correctly

are you trying to tell me it's not on the best-seller list?

Roman Polanski's Carnage .  Looking at the NYT review, the first paragraph alone involves whiskey, two young boys, a hamster, the streets of Brooklyn and the word "spry".  I literally read no more of the review.  Even if it's not Polanski's best, it's worth seeing.  That reminds me - did you ever see Repulsion?  You would like it and I want to re-watch it anyway. NOT the new film by the director of The Hours and Billy Elliot, Stephen Daldry.  This one centers around a nine-year-old New Yorker searching the City for the lock that matches a mysterious key left behind by his father who died in 9/11.  The kid is a cute little science explorer very attached to his dad, aka you.  What's the problem?  Tom Hanks and -- t a k e   a   m o m e n t   t o   b r a c e    y o u r s e l f -- Sandra Bullock. The new and aggressively-advertised Charlize Theron movie, because it looks like Repulsion if Repulsion were a comedy.  Really because I'm joining Mitch on

do you get the "rear window" tag?

I don't know about all this.  But it's nice to see Lou still working.
