My 2nd favorite Altman film. <br /><br />I have friends who didn't like it either and it is a meandering narrative to a degree but I thought that captured the feeling of Garrison's News From Lake Wobegon monologues. You know, how he goes off on these different tangents and then ties them back up together at the end - not necessarily narratively but emotionally.<br /><br />Or maybe I'm just biased because I love the show so much.<br /><br />http://www.anomalousmaterial.com/movies/2011/09/the-fullness-of-time-and-the-spirit-a-prairie-home-companion/Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-48745096661821255672012-04-13T11:51:30.481-05:002012-04-13T11:51:30.481-05:00Since you are discussing this as your favorite Rob...Since you are discussing this as your favorite Robert Altman film and since you also mentioned Garrison Keillor, I have to ask what your thoughts are on A Prairie Home Companion.<br /><br />Mine? Eh, not so good. My parents always listened to the show on Saturday nights, and we even had four audio tapes with collections of just Keillor's stories that were labeled after the seasons. I listened to those tapes a ton of times, and therefore, was pretty excited for the movie.<br /><br />I'm not going to go into an extended diatribe about what I didn't like, although I probably should to prove my depth and intelligence. Let me just say that it didn't work for me.

Love it when that stuff happens.<br /><br />I'd highly recommend you check it out. I know it seems like I gave a lot away but, trust me, that's not the case. The secrets at the end are not the sort of secrets we are conditioned to expect. It's just a loving, warm film.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-91732634380949666772012-04-11T12:27:56.630-05:002012-04-11T12:27:56.630-05:00Enjoyed your discussion on faith, something I cont...Enjoyed your discussion on faith, something I contemplate all the time.<br /><br />I haven't seen this, but Altman is a pretty fascinating director.Sam Fragosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974858608988634583noreply@blogger.com
