Just watched the DVD of State and Main. It made me constantly laugh, so I liked it. It was light and uplifiting and that’s what I needed at that point. It wasn’t deep, but hey, choose two, right? Even cooler: the movie, set in a small Vermont town, was filmed in Massachussettes, mostly in Manchester-by-the-Sea, but also a bit in Dedham, and, my favorite, Waltham. Yippee!
On the plane I watched an episode of Angel and there was a random shout-out to a Brandeis professor. And while said professor doesn’t exist (and trust me, I checked), the fact that they mentioned my school gives me another buzz. Wow, I’d be on a constant high if I went some place like Harvard… 🙂
Ooh… what part of State and Main was filmed in Waltham? It’s a fantastic movie! Mamet is the man.
