primer is messed up, how'd you come across that movie? I think I finally understand what happened in the last 15 minutes of the movie.

it took me two times to see 8 1/2 too. i recommend seeing it - Woody Allen ripped it off with his film: Stardust Memories. I recommend both. Maybe the Woody Allen one first, so it prepares you for 8 1/2? It worked for me.

Hm. That's what happend sometimes to me with some movies. There are movies that are too long for 1.30 hour. And too short for 3 hrs. It's true that Gangs has a lot of more characters, and more "movement". But, that doesnt mean that it's a more fun movie. At least, not to me.

Hey, Alex - Hope you're well. Nice work on the additional flix.
Noticed I can't upload a profile image, gives me an error message it requires a .jpeg, which is the file type I'm using. Could be a Mac thing, but definitely a bug.
How's things?
