not much today. same shower music as yesterday.



after work, gabe and i made progress on the disco songs. the sparks track is coming along nicely. we're standing in for moroder on this one.



i watched Last Tango in Paris tonight. i've never seen it before tonight, but it's one of those films that many people absolutely adore, so i borrowed it from gabe. i'd heard nothing about it, and so i didnt know what to expect. ebert has a lot to say about it; if you want a review go there. i'll just say that i liked it (a lot, actually), but probably won't watch it again. it did seem quite real, and a scene that struck me also hit ebert:

In a film posited on two characters remaining strangers, Bertolucci and his actors achieve a kind of intimacy the movies rarely approach. Real behavior is permitted; in a scene with his wife's lover Marcel, Paul coughs, and we sense that is Brando actually coughing, and accepting that he has coughed, and that in other movies actors never cough, except when it is in the screenplay.

and yes, i think once again ebert and i agree overall. he's just better spoken than i. ;)
