I have had this one in my queue since last year, been meaning to get to it. Glad to know it's worth the time.
Nice discovery! Four stars, huh? Now I have to watch it. Damn you and Mr. AC! Good old Max von Sydow, when isn't he in something crazy?
What about Flash Gordon? Ha! I'm kidding!
Jeez AC, you're not going to explain the eyeball martini at all?
I'm digging your condensed reviews, AC!
yay cat, can't wait to see what you think!
jpx, he's wonderful in this. and the movie is directed by ingmar bergman; i just couldn't shoehorn that info into the one sentence.
octo, it's so surreal, i'm not sure i could explain the eyeball. maybe mr. ac could.

you've already discovered the blessings of the semicolon. next up, the parentheses.
this is starting to remind me of the steve martin essay in Pure Drivel in which he employs only one period in the entire two pages.
yes, parentheses! and nested parentheses! i'll make you sorry you ever mentioned 'em. :)
have you read steve martin's memoir about his standup career? entertaining and surprisingly personal.
