\nHad a great talk with Mitchell last night (“I am so glad you put up those photo booth pictures – because my friends now can see what I looked like when I had hair<\/i>“) – and we laughed about the moment when Mitchell lectured Michael and me about why Liza Minelli was great. I remember it clearly – Michael and I were on the couch at Mitchell’s, and Michael even remembers what Mitchell SAID. Almost word for word. We were probably being snarky about her, and Mitchell was not having any of it<\/i>. “Okay, so here’s the deal with Liza, mkay?” We shut up and listen. We were afraid for our lives, basically.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile: I’m going to see Liza Minelli in Vegas in October. With Alex. So there’s some sort of full circle insanity at work. Mitchell: your lecture, lo those many years ago, had an effect. Even when she was a bloated tick, IN MY PRESENCE, I remembered your words.<\/p>\n
I love this. It kinda says it all. Also, it’s really moving (in a sad way, in a way that brings up a feeling of intense loss) when it’s “the morning after” and the room has lost its magic and whimsy – and has become just another cheesy motel room. That transition is really well done in the film.<\/p>\n

\nThis scene below is so messed up because of the context – where they are, and what they are in the middle of doing when they start to have sex on the bed. It’s like: Guys. That is not. your. room. Go home!<\/p>\n

\nLove this moment. It’s brief – not dwelled on, or explained … but it just captures her entire emotional experience. Love it.<\/p>\n
