Laura and I attended the Godlight Theatre Company's production of Fahrenheit 451 this past Friday evening at 59E59. What did we think? Laura loved it and urges all you New Yorkers to go see it. As for me, my review is now up at Science Fiction Weekly.

The TRUFFAUT!!! film is one of my favorite movies. I hope you check it out one day—it's often on TCM, if you get that channel. I would have lent you the DVD, of course, but I've never gotten around to buying it.

I think one of the charms of the film is that it was approached by a director who doesn't seem to really take it on as if it is a traditional sci-fi movie, and it is thus quite unorthodox and interesting. The sets and designs are a little weird and off, but not too distant from the sixties mod thing. I kind of like the gentle tone of the whole movie and there are several scenes that are quite memorable and striking. Way better than Rod Steiger's Illustrated Man! (I like that one too and one of my wife's inside jokes with me is to say, "These are SKIN ILLUSTRATIONS!" in a mock Steiger voice.)

Actually, my wife and I have several inside jokes from Anchorman (I don't know if you've seen it) and I quoted it to Laura when you were over and I don't think she caught it.

She said, as I was walking into the kitchen (with a spoon, I think), "Do you love Spoon?" (the band)
And I said, "I LOVE LAMP!" Which is totally from Anchorman, which I thought she was referring to in the first place!

The best part? I didn't get it until I just read this! HaHaHa! I love the BAND Spoon, which I realize has too much percussion for you... :)

Um...please forgive the redundancies in my post. I'm an infrequent poster, and clearly do not have my process down for editing myself before clicking that POST COMMENT SO THE WORLD CAN SEE YOU ARE AN IDIOT button.

Brick Tamland: I love... desk.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?
Brick Tamland: I love lamp.
Ron Burgundy: Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
Brick Tamland: I love lamp! I love lamp.
