Loved my original X100 for many years… wish I still had it… slow as snails, but the sensor was “unique” and could punch quality way beyond it’s bearing and price. Maybe I’ll one day rise above my hobo income and get back into physical photography.

I used it again last night in a very tricky situation and it worked like a charm. Was really surprised and found myself reaching for it more than my XH.
Wrong, Danno. Starting at three: Adaptation, Kramer vs Kramer, and the best, Sophie’s Choice. You can’t give an informed answer without seeing them all.

I’ve seen those. Sticking with my picks. Can’t ever go against Deerhunter and Silkwood, but then again, I’m really into comedies.
Strangely enough, she’s always been listed as one of those stars I simply don’t enjoy watching. It’s not a long list, but it also includes Bette Midler. I have no explanation beyond instant turn off. I can’t enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio, either. Actually, now that I’ve forced myself to give the matter some thought, there are practically no British actors or actresses I would choose to watch, and overall, I’m convinced that the ending of the Hollywood star system also brought about a dearth of true star quality. It’s been the dumbing down of glamour. There are simply too many empty, pretty faces (pretty empty?) that defy the reality which is that there isn’t truly a lot of room at the top of the pyramid. It could be partly due to the incessant deluge of “content” that now comes at us from not only the silver screen – used to like that, with caps, along with Photoplay – but through tv and tv film channels. The rarity value has been lost; one can’t help becoming desensitised.
That said, I like Penelope Cruz in some things, and Peter Lindbergh almost always made her look magnificent. They worked well together. In a way, she reminds me of the young Gina Lollobrigida.

OH man, love me some DiCaprio. The Departed, Wolf of Wallstreet and Blood Diamond which I thought was well done. Cruz is dreamy.
How odd; tried to correct the V typo in Campbell, above, and the post automatically sent itself.
Meryl Streep’s best acting was in “The Iron Lady,” but “Deer Hunter” was a better movie.

Did the Iron Lady have Russian Roulette. If not, I don’t want it. That’s my bar for watching movies.
cmon…. clearly none of you have seen August: Osage County. Kramer vs Kramer doesn’t count because she had maybe 5 minutes of screen time. That was Dustin Hoffman’s movie.
