If You Want Me To Stop Sending You These Blog Posts, It'll Cost You Two Bucks

Well, that's how it works at Comcast anyway. If you want them to stop sending you junk mail, you'll be hit with a $2 "change of service" fee. These wonderful folks (and they are my cable provider, so don't get me started) are working hard to earn their designation as Worst Company In America. Early voting results: Comcast 21%, Best Buy 8%, Bank of America 5%, Fox News 5%, Walmart 5%, Countrywide 4%, Verizon 3%, AT&T 3%.

Mark, I can't tell you how much I despise this company. I'm talking actively disliking. For a company to have created such a negative passion in me where I equate Comcast with the word horrible tells you something about them. They are very good at negative marketing. And they work hard at it because it never ends. Lawyers should only market half as well...but positively and they would be doing quite well.

Some Of Mark's Favorite Films

Romeo and Juliet
Never was there a tale of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Still the best version on film, and Zefferelli's masterpiece.
Stardust Memories
One of my favorite Woody Allen films, although not his most popular. Perhaps I love it because it is an homage to Fellini's Eight And A Half. As Woody says....."An homage? No, we just ripped it off."
Camille
The incomparable Greta Garbo at the height of her beauty and powers in a timeless romantic tragedy. The book is La Dame Aux Camillias, the opera is La Traviata. Both also wonderful.
Amadeus
Salieri works hard, kisses the right behinds, is chaste, and plays by the rules. So why has God given musical genius to Mozart, "that giggling, obscene child"? Sometimes life is unfair.
A Room With A View
My favorite Merchant & Ivory film. Daniel Day Lewis's portrait of Cecil Vyse is beyond funny. And Helena Bonham Carter's Lucy is wonderful. Also great: Denholm Elliott, Julian Sands, Simon Callow. And, star of the film: Florence, Italy.
Shakespeare In Love
I worship the Bard. I love this interpretation of his life. "Romeo and Ethel, The Pirate's Daughter." And I love Gwyneth Paltrow's reaction to the first time they make love: "Finally, there is something better than a play!"
Eight And A Half
The story of a film director suffering a creative block, a nervous breakdown, and a mid-life crisis — all at once. The narrative structure is a hallucination. pastiche of memory, fantasy, reality, and My favorite film.
The Philadelphia Story
One of my teachers once remarked that you cannot view this film without feeling that civilization has gone downhill.
