Do you think that one should watch his films from alogical point of view.?
I made that fault too.
Now I have learnt to see it as a dream, a series of dreams.

Even dreams, to be taken seriously by the dreamer, have to have logical continuity, i.e. they must be true to their created reality. This film went far over any reasonable line into parody and fantasy. The dialogue was trite, the attempts to build suspense, as in the very first scene, exhausted the audience and the climax, guys firing into a basement, was a let down.
I'm glad you liked it.

  Mine all over the place. You're still wrong about the film. It was great!

    own logical consistency, as crazy as that might be or you'd wake up.
    I just read Anthony Lane's opinion of the film and, though he expresses himself about a gazillion times better than ever I could, he says more or less the same thing.

        Tin- Be thankful you didn't see the one after the Bill's. I still say the studios were throwing money at him faster than he could create good work. He has redeemed himself to me with Bastards. I rather like his sense of humor/absurdity. Clever boy he is. My take on the movie appears above- just saw it last night.

  How can have like it when I did not see it?
  I was speaking of QT in general.
  
  Dreams having logical continuty?
  You must be a sort of a dreamer.
  
  How are you.

    I'm great, having just returned from two weeks in Brasil with several dvds of classic Brasilian films with which I was unacquainted.
    Sometime I'm going to have to get back to Europe and I bet it's before you get over here...

        Wright homes and buildings? The collections of all our great modern art museums? The Everglades? Fresh San Francisco sourdough bread? The Oregon coast? Mon ami, see your doctor, get proper sedation. I'm sure Vic would meet your flight at Kennedy!

        wine country.
        Oregon has some good cheese and bread makers, too. And, though truffles aren't in the category as the French, our wild mushrooms are non pareil.

        Thank you. The same if you happen to lost yourself in Germany.
        The Italian truffles are the best.
        As for the bread hard to beat the German dark bread and / or the French white...
        But who knows?

        Thanks. Berlin, for the architecture, and Bavaria for the forests (we love hiking) are on our short list.
        I agree with your bread likes. Brasil used to have terrific French-style bread but for some mysterious reason, it's really hard to find these days. The US had a revolution in bread-making, similar to its awakening to winemaking, years ago with the result that you can find great bread from small producers (just like in France) quite easily. It's been 11 years since my last French visit so I'm going on memory: we really need to visit France sometime soon, too. With our 8-year old, we've been waiting for her to mature a little bit so museums, cathedrals, and all the rest wouldn't be lost upon her.

        Berlin? For the Sony Architectures?
        I will send you my friend Anita who is not only a dentist ( horror ) but also was raised in the capital.
        
        I will meanwhile drink a little Riesling in the place where Goethe did his Schhoppen...

        "The Hangover" in mind. Been there, done that. I enjoy traveling with the wife far more than "stag."
        Berlin: the Foster-designed Reichstag. The Pinacotek and other museums along the river (canal?). And many others.
        I'm unfamiliar with Sony but I'll Google.
        I'm familiar with Bretagne and the Loire; next, I'd like to see some of the mountain regions and the Dardogne. Of course, I'd never visit France w/out at least a 4 or 5 days for Paris.
