Epic Cinema: Midnight In Paris (2011)

I just saw it today. Do yourself a favor. If you are a fan of The Epic, you will love this movie. It is my new favorite movie. Ever. Displacing the hitherto undisplacable The Quite Man.

Do yourself another favor. This movie deserves a fine meal. Before. Not after. After, you want to be sitting by yourself, having a Calvados, listening to Cole Porter. Wondering about yourself. And about whether all times really do coexist. Having seen this movie I certainly hope they do.

I've made up my mind. In the early months of 2012, I'm going.

    I am dying to see this! I think I will go by myself on Wednesday at lunchtime while my husband is out with our son and his parents. I will consider it 'me time' :O)

    I dont know why you dont pop up on my blogroll :O( I see I have missed a number of your posts. I will just have to check every day for new ones from you.

    I hope you are keeping well!

    SP, I'll go with you! I am dying to see it again.

    MLS, I agree the celeb characters were marvelous with Hem being the best. And how can you beat Carla Bruni?

    You take the Irish Redhead and GO TO PARIS! I look forward to enjoying it vicariously through you.

    My favorite MIP cast member: Kathy Bates as Gertrude Stein.

    CL, she can't travel due to health issues. I'm going alone....

    I loved Gertrude Stein, but Hemingway was the BOMB.

    My daughter was just in Paris by herself and had a wonderful time. You will too. Bon voyage.

    M.L. It's a date! I didnt see it last week as I opted to spend the few hours I had sans males simply sitting in silence enjoying the peace and quiet.

    I will see to see if I can squeeze it in this week...the problem is it's playing 50 kms away!

    Agree! Saw this a couple of weeks ago and made me want to book a trip to Paris right away ~ hoping I can find that stoop at midnight. Enjoy your trip! Will look forward to your posts!
