BuzzSugar's Must Haves for August

August 1, 2008

August is the month when Summer comes to a close and entertainment-land gets a case of the doldrums. It's typically slow for music releases, and Hollywood doesn't necessarily put out the year's best films this month either. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few good gems out there that you'll want to get your hands on this month. To see what I uncovered, hit "Start."

I'm leaving for a London-Barcelona-Majorca holiday this evening, so I won't get to see Vicky Christina Barcelona until after my return :( But at least it'll be fun to pick out the places we got to see in RL! :)

Okay, I figured it must be a homage because even if Murakama wasn't a fan, I'm sure someone at his publishing house would've noticed the similarity of the two titles. I guess I will have to read his book before I make judgements on whether or not I think the title is appropriate. Carver is just so great that I think a book needs to extroadinary to pull off a homage. If that makes any sense...

em113 — I was just reading something on this very topic this morning. Can't remember where I saw it, but apparently Murakami is a huge Carver admirer and the translator of a lot of his work into Japanese, so it may be an intentional (and well-intended) homage.

Great picks, Buzz. Looking forward to seeing both movies.

"What I talk about when I talk about running" sounds a little bit too much like Raymond Carver's "What we Talk about when Talk about love" I don't know if it's intentional, but either way, I don't like it. Carver is sacred!

I saw a commercial for Vicky Cristina Barcelona while I was on the treadmill this morning and thought the male actor was Robert Downing Jr. I couldn't hear the dialogue but it looks funny-romantic. And my inner-teen is excited about Violet in Private. I'm also anxious to see Brideshead Revisited. Anyone seen that yet?
