My only -- not even necessarily completely sensical -- wonder-thought about "Two Lovers," was that the three main actors seemed perhaps a bit too old for their characters...or, perhaps more precisely, the age of the characters (as portrayed by these actors) seemed older than many of the life situations they were in during the movie. But...a very small quibble. Definitely liked it more than I had expected to... Michael "We very much liked 'Away We Go' last week; Krasinski's character reminded both my GF and I of...me!

I like Waits' "songs are just interesting things to do with the air." Hitchcockian with a little Zappa spin on it. My fave Los Angeles song would probably be "L.A." by Neil Young. A tad obscure since it's on one of those albums he's chosen not to release in digital form, but it's a sentiment I'm sure has crossed the mind of everybody who's ever spent any time there. "When the mountains erupt and the Valley is sucked into cracks in the earth..." I guess there's a reason he referred to it as his dark period. np The Wilco Book CD.
