Once
O.K. so I know I recommended this movie to John but don’t recall if he saw it yet or just didn’t like it.
Anyhow, this was one of my favorite movies from last year and is cool on multiple levels both in terms of the unattainable romance angle but also captured the sheer rush of having a musical project come together and the camaraderie of being in a band and collaborating, and also just getting a second chance at something when you’re past what’s perceived as your prime. Cynical as I am lately I figured I’d just post something positive for a change.
But the guy and girl who star in the movie and wrote the music and are musicians in real life won the oscar for best song and their acceptance speech was pretty cool, and she got cut off and Jon Stewart was classy and brought her back out to finish it.

I have this in queue to watch.
This is in the mail to me right now!
Yeah, I agree. Saw this one a while back and it was very moving, very well made, very simple, and very awesome.
Everyone should watch it.

I feel this way about Battlestar Galactica.
1. This movie was super cute. And I love the music from it.
2. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA??? So say we all.
Battlestar Galactica hovers in that nebulous area of my Netflix queue where it doesn’t sink lower, but only creeps towards the top very gradually.
I really do want to watch it.
Finally got around to watch this tonight. Sooooo fucking good. I know a few of you were looking for the soundtrack, and it’s uploading now.
i’ve seen the video for the one song like a thousand times now. they’re adorable.
