(Everyone knows about the alt-f2 imdb shortcut in the minicli, right?)
I've just seen one of the less famous Marx Brothers movies Monkey Business, and the last one I had never seen before. And it's a great one. I was in the mood for a good laugh, having had a horrible cold on top of a bronchitis on top of all kinds of worries, and this was the perfect specific.

We've indulged in an absolute orgy of movie-going last week. Achieving more than the yearly average of cinema visits in a single week. Saturday, we went to Zwolle to see the last performance of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And Wednesday, we went to the Uitkijk in Amsterdam to see one of the last performances of Girl with a Pearl Earring. I'm sure I've seen enough talkies for a long time now.

It turns out that I really, really like silent moving pictures. I much prefer them to the talkies. Not only don't I have to strain to understand the faded sound-tracks of movies like Errol Flynn's Robin Hood, but I can sit down and enjoy the acting, the facial expressions, the music, and the pacing.
