Zelig

Zelig : it's been ages since I've seen this Woody Allen movie, and I don't think I've seen all of it EVER !
Today I noticed they had it in our public library. I hope I'll be able to get it there one of these days and watch it completely.

Which reminds me : anyone ever seen "In the company of men" ? It's a grim sort of movie about two male colleagues being chauvinist pigs (they play this game trying to seduce an "easy prey" at work) that has a strange twist in the end.

And here's my last movie tip : All over me. It's about two young girls, one of which is a lesbian, who has to choose between friendship and justice. I've discovered Patti Smith's "Pissin' in a river" through this movie and my eyes always get wet with tears whenever I hear that mix of anger and pain in the song.

Triage

David's in good company on my own list of underrated and easily forgotten albums :

If you wish to complete this list, go right ahead !

Meanwhile, I've finished reading "The year of the Cancer" (Het jaar van de kreeft) by Hugo Claus. I read it in Dutch, I'm not sure it has been translated ... It has been made into a film starring Rutger Hauer, it turns out...
