I try not to watch films too many times in quick succession. The repetition dulls the experience for me.
The novel _Cane River_, inflicted on us by a neighborhood book club, had what purported to be facsimiles of backwoods Louisiana newspapers of the late 1800s, with typography that looked to me like 1970s phototype. I was pretty well inured to anachronisms of the novel, of fact and of language both, but that did annoy me.
"Chocolat (2000, Mirimax) wasn’t a bad movie." Actually, it was pretty dumb.
