The Importance of Reading.
-----
You know what I love reading? Away messages. They're like fortune cookies..little tidbits of wisdom, or humour that people write. Some are literal : "Doing laundry - brb" while others are literary quotes or the occasional Chuck Norris reference, or a song verse.
I guess I like them because it offers me a glimpse into the mind of who I'd rather be talking to, than reading about.
i have one that I use that goes : "Epipsychidion...look it up." And sure enough, I get three messages in response.
" I don't get it."
" I don't understand."
"Is that even a word?"
To all...

The release of MOTHERSHIP.
Rock on....
The goods....
I really should just get a movie blog up and running...
...because I need to rave about the wonderful Luc Besson. Writer/director of The Big Blue, Subway, The Fifth Element, La Femme Nikita ( the movie, not the series)...and of course, the incredible beyond words greatness and beauty of Leon ..which is known as The Professional in the US.
Leon had been on my Must See List of films for a long time now, so I bought the 2 disc edition because I'm a geek for added features and little glimpses behind films...and was promptly blown away ...
This means I now have a growing respect for French filmmaking, and for the AMAZING Jean Reno..who I do...
