BelAir:
John...

Will you translate your siggie?

I haven't noticed it before.

If forced to guess, I would say, "Do you know that I love you?"

Thanks! I changed my 'siggie' in February or March after seeing 'Les chansons d'amour' (Love Songs) by Christophe Honoré; roughly, one character is letting another (clueless) character know, in no uncertain terms:

"Tu doives entendre je t'aime."

"You must hear 'I love you,'" or, rather,  "You need to hear 'I love you!!'" (Exclamation Point!)

Unfortunately, Jack didn't say it (early enough) to Ennis, I guess--

I have just learned about this movie: Chris & Don, A Love Story. It's a documentary about Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy. Here's the trailer. Anyone here seen this? It's getting very positive comments on IMDb. Unfortunately, I don't think it will be playing in Maine anytime soon!

I saw Chris & Don at the Ptown film festival, Leslie.  I'd have to say it was the best film that I saw that week.

Fascinating bio of an unlikely couple, told through interviews, old film, Isherwood's diary (read by Michael York), and an inventive use of animation.  Watching Don Bachardy "grow up" from very impressionable young man to a mature artist was compelling. 

There's always the DVD, Leslie.

MaineWriter:
Thanks for that info, Paul. It sounds like the sort of movie that's right up my alley--I love documentaries. And yes, DVD, although I like movies in the theater, better! I pay more attention and don't get distracted...
