Parasol

I ended up going to Black Lodge last night to pick up The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Nearby it I saw a Tristram Shandy movie starring Steve Coogan. Since we'd just watch Coffee & Cigarettes and were talking about him I figured I had to impulse rent it. Still haven't watched it yet. But we did watch The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I did find the color and visuals pretty great. I'm really not at all a musicals person. For the first half or so I found the singing to be pretty grating. But maybe in the second half or so as it got sadder and all I found myself getting past the singing more and getting into it some. Hard to say what a final verdict would be. Maybe it was okay. Oh yeah, and the guy at Black Lodge made a comment about how long it'd been since I was there and how many years since the card they had on file expired. Better not guilt me if you ever want me to come back, dude! It wasn't quite that bad but felt on the edge. Anyway. I'm blathering now so I'll stop.
