Hey! If you're in Boston, I'm providing you with plenty of warning and I will brook no objections that do not involve the need to babysit. The Saturday after next, February 26th, Days of Being Wild is playing at the MFA. It's at 4 PM. I cannot even begin to explain how great this movie is, although I took a crack at it once. When I listed the top twenty movies of all time? Most of them were hard to choose and maybe Last Life in the Universe could creep on there and so on. But the top three, those were easy, and Days of Being Wild was among them.

So it's pretty strongly recommended. There are shows all week long if you can't make Saturday at 4. It's one of the best movies ever.

Will you pay for the babysitter? Though, if I'm remembering right, my mother-in-law might have already claimed the kids for that weekend.

I might be convinced. (Happy birthday, Starchild!) It's still like five bucks for the neighborhood babysitter, right? I'm sure things haven't gotten any more complex since I was a tyke.

Wong Karwai is the shit.

I'd send you a copy of 2046, but I can only find it with Chinese and Japanese subtitles.

You're in mainland China, yes? The Mei Ah HK edition has English subtitles, according to Yesasia.com (which is reliable). I do an order from HK every few months, and intend to include 2046 in the next one.

My region-free DVD player is perhaps my favorite piece of electronics that does not bear the Apple logo.

YesAsia is a nice site. I get my Taiwanese rock albums from them when I'm home.

We too have a multiregion DVD player, which makes it easy to send home
presents like House of Flying Daggers...

Hope you like 2046. From what I hear, in contains many of the
same characters as Day of Being Wild and other Wang Karwai
movies, though I haven't seen enough of his other films to verify
that.
