have you seen PDL, tom? it’s very different than the usual/typical adam sandler vehicle/mess/fare. it’s a movie from an auteur that adapted himself/the movie especially for the big (and dumb) movie star. or do you think i REMOTELY LIKE any other adam sandler movie? PDL is something else, a special, mysterious, cosmic, lovin’ beast. it changed my life.
jailhouse tears only fully (please, please, please) convince(d) me after hearing the demo (thanks dude-on-this-forum-that-shall-remain-nameless that sent me the file), which is so. much. better. if you never heard it, you’re in for a treat.
Well, I’ll try to go in without TOO high of an expectation level. After all, it would have to be pretty durn good for me to like it more than *my* all-time favorite movie: the Coen Brothers masterpiece, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” 😉
Tom
great movie, and i’m not the biggest fan of the coen bros. remember the scene in which there’s a mob and a gangster? they set this sequence to john hartford’s (I LOVE THIS MAN) ‘indian war whoop’.
just electrifying.
A quote from punchdrunklove-the Rio forum person is great-perhaps the funniest comment of the year so far., especially the remark just to bully Lucinda
“Quote
YES! the adam sandler movie. it’s perhaps my favorite movie ever, i’ve seen it countless times and i basically worship everything about it. but it’s such a silly username. it was the first i could think of (yeah, before even my NAME), maybe because i rewatched the movie a few days before registering here in 2009. thing is: i registered just to bully lucinda into transferring her ongoing 2009 int’l tour from europe (bleh) to south america

Ok so I created the Adam Sandler discussion so I’d better chime in on a coincidence.
TVO is a Canadian public broadcasting TV network like PBS and one of their favorite shows for me is “Saturday Night at the Movies” so I checked and tomorrow night, if I can stay awake, I’ll be able to catch pdl’s favorite”Soco Bebedo Amar” Hey, pdl how’s the Google Portuguese translator work for Punch Drunk Love ?Here’s the link together with a preview for tntracy to view.

that’s a crude literal translation. i hope you enjoy the movie, i find it breathtaking.

since you think i’m funny (much obliged!), i feel like sharing one of my blogs, in which i post cards created by me over at someecards.com. the whole design is theirs, the words are mine. they’re mostly written in english (95%) and i think they’re very creative and kinda awesome and extremely weird (my thing): http://semionatoecards.blogspot.com.br/
(caveat emptor: click only if you’re strong enough to navigate through its occasional classlessness, crudeness, unpleasantness. to me, the trashier they are the more delightful is the pay-off; there’s something interesting, in my opinion, in mixing nice wordplay, sophisticated use of language – for a foreigner, please – with embarrassing/crude/risqué stuff. not all cards are acid/horrific, some of those are actually cute/poetic/extremely melancholic, now good luck finding them.)
card #199, e.g., is me being inappropriately playful towards a verse of lucinda’s stowaway in your heart. forgive me, lucinda!
