The second season was not everything I wanted it to be. It moves things along too fast, storywise, and it has an end that's more an 'end of part two' than an end. Still, the second season has some fantastic stuff in it.
One of these days I really am going to have to watch Purple Noon. I liked The Talented Mister Ripley a fair bit. Mean little movie.
My introduction to Bertolucci was Last Tango in Paris, and I think I developed an allergic reaction. It's really tough for me to get interested in his stuff. It just seems to be coming from a place so far away from me that I can't decode it.
I wanna see Persepolis, but I'm doing some stupid monomaniacal short-story thing where my brain doesn't want to let in things that aren't related to what I'm working on.
