It's been several days without a good film... I need my fix!
I let things go their natural way, hoping the multitude of cable channels will not let me down... it's been a disaster... I could have watched 12 Angry Men... for the N-th time, I choose not to, and besides that - nada.
Even worse than this - no movies on order at the moment.
I hate these dry spells!
Even worse - my wife is a politics junkie, so plenty of election year crap these days.
Heavens, please help me!

I know the feeling, every two nights or so it fell over my humble shoulders...I decide to rewatch the Italians Classic.
I will act with method.

  get the Dino Risi film (which I believe you said you had ordered) "The Easy Life" (Il Sorpasso)? Gassman AND a very young Trintingant---and a certain luscious young blond...
  Also, I found my wine notes!
  The Riesling you sent which I devoured in its radiant youth:
  Rhenigau
  Kloster Eberbach
  2001
  Steinburg.
  It was delightful...

    Nothing to do! The Parisian send me a list of internet addresses where I may find this film...I tried them all..no chance!
    - You can buy it for...3.50 Euro... - orejones 08:19:54 01/27/04 (1)
      ...if you talk to the people in "Il Corriere della Sera"...
      Do you have any friends in Italy?
      Luck. Regards

        Thank you! The problem is that my Italian is very....poor. I need at least some subtitles.

    Niet! Curiously I was thinking of it two or three days ago...I think I will make another try right now....It was on " stand by " but nothing did happen..
    Was it not a " Becker "?
    - "Was it a Becker?" Uh, - tinear 16:30:08 01/25/04 (4)
      sorry, mon ami, but I am not sure. It had a label with some red on it, if that helps. It was...very nice!

        Drunk ? We spoke not long ago about it! You ask me if he was a relative of " Johnny Beker " !
        But the wine I send you was from who? Now I am not quite certain! As I have wines from the Closter Eberbach too!
        But I am quite certain that it was a " Becker ".
        Steinburg? There nothing like this....
        
        I copied the label before re-cycling---I don't think - tinear 12:40:47 01/26/04 (2)

        I was drunk on 2 1/2 glasses (we always share wine equally, the secret to a happy marriage!)!
        It MAY have said Becker, but I don't remember. Remember, you sent two bottles. This one was the youngest and you suggested it "lie down" for awhile.
        I copied "Steinberg" so I'm assuming it had something to do with the wine, i.e. origin?

        Yes, Steinberg, but in your first post you wrote Steinburg...that is why I was baffled!
        The other bottle was a Becker.
        But you drank it WAY to young! Bad boy.
        If we do another bet, and IF I happen to loose again I will send you only an older one...Ready to drink.....
        
        Yes, I was very bad, but the Becker was still exceptional...like James Dean, alas, - tinear 07:41:00 01/27/04 (0)

        it perished too soon. Unlike Dean's, this death caused great happiness!

  Speaking of which, did you see Down and Dirty by Ettore Scola? Quite a film.
  My film library is not huge, but there's always something for days like this.
  Perhaps I Vitelloni... haven't seen it in a while.
  - Re: Italian Classic - patrickU 11:06:13 01/24/04 (2)
    No, or I can�t remember. Vitelloni..on video? Well I can hardly remember...
    - Re: Italian Classic - Victor Khomenko 11:23:52 01/24/04 (1)
      Try to get Down and Dirty - it is a strong film. I Vitelloni I have on tape only, no DVD available.

        Well, there are no films to find, neither DVD nor VHS, in France or Germany..Is it not sad?
