You and most of your readers probably understand the process, but it might still be worth checking out.<BR/><BR/>Here's the link: http://www.thereporter.combillboard/ci_6260970mnmearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073519242578035472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-54416555414001260352007-07-04T22:43:00.000-07:002007-07-04T22:43:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mnmearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073519242578035472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-75932971303648738842007-07-03T12:23:00.000-07:002007-07-03T12:23:00.000-07:00Really well said Jenny, i too think E.B.White woul...Really well said Jenny, i too think E.B.White would have liked this one. I have to admit i had some skeptic attitudes going in, but was completely won over. This is my favorite kind of movie, a fantasy with a lower case "f". Hard as hell to do too, but RATATOUILLE is whimsical without being one whit "precious"--something that usually wrecks such concepts. Enjoy your iPhone!

Consistent tone throughout too, and having seen the movie the observations were accurate and in-depth while remaining as detached as possible.

It all looks so blue, while my recollection of the times I've been there is that it's a lot more ochre/beige (that's at night... in the morning or with cloudy weather, when all lights are off but the sun isn't really there, it did feel blue-ish). But in any case, it did have a very different mood and atmosphere to me. But I guess everyone's experience is different.<BR/><BR/>It won't bother me though. I'm sure all the choices will be right for the moment, even if it doesn't quite feel like Paris.Benjamin De Schrijverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113326323094548928noreply@blogger.com
