Beatchick, it's even more lovely. You have to go! IMO, Venice is the most magical place on earth.

Statia!

That's what one of my closest friends was telling me! He LOVES Venice and thinks it's magical just as you say!!

Say, Statia, how many times have you been to Venice?

Hey, Beathchick! We've only been once so far, but already have a trip in the works again.

DH and I renewed our vows there for our 10 year anniversary last summer, and plan to be there again for my birthday next spring.

I agree with your friend. Go, go, go!

Ohhh, you renewed your vows in Venice? That is soooo romantic!!

Happy belated 10th anniversary!!!

Just want to remind everybody that the "Before Sunset" DVD has been released. I received mine today from Amazon.com. And if you purchase both "Sunset" and "Sunrise" before 2/1/05, you can get a $5 mail-in rebate.

If I find anything interesting about the special features, I'll report back.

Loved both films, You girls are hot here.

I just saw Before Sunset last night (netflix), and LOVED it!

Any ideas as to the significance of Ethan Hawke discussing his next book, (i.e. the girlfriend dancing on the hood of the car and, later, his daughter dancing on the kitchen table) as it relates to Julie Delpy dancing in her apartment at the end of the movie?

Just curious if a connection was intended...

My sister and I saw both films this past week while on vacation and we disagreed on which one each of us liked better.

I read in this AM's Boston Globe that the MFA is going to show both films on Tue--6:00pm for 'Sunrise--then Julie Delpy is going to talk and anwer ?s and then at 8:30 they will show 'Sunset--all for a $10 admission fee!! I fear there will be a massive crowd, as there was a few weeks ago when Pedro Almodovar spoke at Harvard!!

We just finished watching Before Sunset.
I think Ethan Hawke looked terrible. Has he been ill? He is sooo thin!
I thought Julie Delpy was great! I loved the Paris scenery, I was bored through a lot of it and I loved the end

I just watched it last night and was completely engrossed, although I kept thinking to myself, "Shouldn't Julie Delpy know about....banding?" I still think her black top with jeans looked very nice.

I agree, Ethan Hawke didn't look healthy.

Didn't she look great in that top though? With that little white jacket and jeans, m_k obviously has not seen this film. We would have heard the shriek~

I bought the DVD and watched it again with my husband. I think it is so awesome. It is so real and complete. And I cannot wait to go to Paris next year!

Yes, Ethan looks dreadful in before Sunset. Too much rock and rolling perhaps or upset over the breakup.

I noticed a couple of members were discussing the cafe in Paris where Jesse and Celine hung out.

Well I just got back from Paris...and YES, the cafe does exist..and it's a lovely place.

Here are some pictures I took while there:
