[Image ID: A traditional pen and colored pencil drawing of Suki and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender dressed similarly to Spider-Man. Suki's outfit is black and green, with wide sleeves and pant legs cinched at the wrists and ankles, and with a gold spider on the front. She also wears a mask with a design like her Kyoshi warrior face paint and her Kyoshi headpiece. Sokka's outfit is blue, gray, and white, with a blue spider on the front. He wears a mask with a design like his face paint. /.End ID]

My Top 50 Favorite Movies
1
Lost in Translation (2003)
Have you ever asked yourself, if you were a movie what would you be? It took me years to find this answer to a question I never asked myself until I saw Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation. This is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. There isn't a single moment, not scene, I mean moment as in seconds that I do not appreciate. It is 2 strangers in Tokyo, Japan that are there for their own reasons that eventually form a bond, unexpected and coincidental to both of them. They are both lost in life but during different stages between identity crisis that is Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and mid-life crisis in his older years, Bob (Bill Murray). Both phases in life are completely relatable and natural. The best medicine for these two in particular is that they are away in another world, out of their current element of reality and almost in a dream like scenario in Japan that is foreign in both language and culture. Their sudden friendship brings them even closer when they attend a party thrown by a friend of Charlotte's who goes by Charlie Brown. This is where the adventure element and some comedic relief is kicked in and makes us feel like we are in Japan enjoying life at it's absolute fullest, with no thoughts or burden. The serious moments are Bob's telephone conversations with his estranged wife and Charlotte's distant gap connection with her newly wed husband, both moments are great precursors to what follows, explained above. Just like any trip, Bob and Charlotte will need to say their good-byes and this where the movie's conclusion becomes pretty sad, knowing they'll never see each other again. What I love here is that, this movie is not romantic, it's an imaginative method of meeting your perfect counterpart in a perfect setting at a perfect time - and all of it was completely unexpected making the movie that much more relatable. Lost in Translation was filmed by using film which gives a grainy stock effect for the viewer and puts pictures in motion like a collage and just so happens to be instrumental to the movie's success. Filmed in 27 days, Bill Murray's all time favorite movie is also mine and Lost In Translation is a forever mood captured on screen and sits at number 1 comfortably.

“The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever.”
Lost in Translation (2003) is, I guess, the movie I never get sick of watching. And it doesn’t matter that I know the plot by heart. Having watched it first at school (if my memory serves me right, I’d been 15 by the time) I was totally caught up in its story. Since then, every my re-watch of the picture makes me always think I do it for the first time. Every word, every scene, every sound, every joke, everything in this film makes sense to me. Everything there I find so reasoned, consistent and appropriate. Its narrative is nothing less than an impeccable source of comfort and inspiration for me.
The film shows two totally different people meeting by chance in a completely foreign country to both of them. It's a brief encounter, a beautiful stretch of love and friendship that stays in the memory of two forever. And this stretch will never be spoiled again. That’s like with a well-made photograph. For me, it's a film about small moments of experience that can be neither planned nor bought nor reproduced again. The film demonstrates that people come into our life and go away, but memories are what will stay with us forever. If I could exist in a movie landscape, it would be definitely this one made by Sofia Coppola.
Highly tribute to the great director.

Producers Seek $24K to Get Nicky Hopkins Documentary Made
- “The Session Man” is finished; 39 tracks need licensing
If anyone is ever going to see “The Session Man,” producers need to raise $24,000 to license 39 tracks for the Nicky Hopkins documentary
Touted as “rock ’n’ roll’s greatest session man,” by narrator Bob Harris, Hopkins, who died in 1994, played on more more than 250 albums over his 30-year career. Over those decades, Hopkins was a member of Quick Silver Messenger Service, the Jeff Beck Group and the Jerry Garcia Band and played alongside the likes of John Lennon, the Kinks, Joe Cocker, Zero, Meat Loaf, the Rolling Stones and others.
“He could play just about anything,” Keith Richards says in the trailer for the film.
The Michael Treen-directed documentary is finished. But it cannot be shown to potential distributors at film festivals until licensing is secured.
Harry Shearer sums up why Hopkins - and his instrument - were so important to the bands he assisted.
“Piano has all the colors - can say anything,” Shearer says. “And a guy who’s as talented as Nicky can take a simple song and fill it with all sorts of extra feeling and meaning.”
Donations can be made here.

Continued....
The party is usually held on the 23rd--or as near Christmas eve as possible. Each room in the house features a different activity--television, table games, Christmas music on the stereo, a piano for carols. A buffet table with snacks is the location of a popular continuing activity, of course. The party lasts from 7:00 until midnight. and at some time during the evening, everybody gathers around the piano for carols and devotions. (This gives the Harrises an opportunity to point out to the students that they needn't feel sorry for themselves; God's Son wasn't at home for Christmas either.)
The Harrises have pleasant memories of past years. They remember many foreign students and their first taste of an American Christmas. They especially remember the year that snow started falling just before carolers rang the doorbell. The foreign guests of the evening had heard of such picture-perfect Christmas scenes, but could hardly believe that they were experiencing one themselves.
On one Christmas-party evening many years ago when the Harris twins were small, they were fascinated by a young oriental student who appeared at the door. "I am Peter. I am made in Japan." He attended the parties for several years while he was a student. Last summer when David and Debbie Harris, grown up, were in Nova Scotia on a missionary trip , they were entertained by Peter, now a missionary there. He reminded them of the Christmases he had spent with them on campus.

Love and Affection - Joan Armatrading
Love and Affection – Joan Armatrading
Forty-six years ago I tuned in to the Old Grey Whistle Test to catch a piece on Led Zeppelin and their long-awaited movie – The Song Remains the Same.
After his chat with Robert Plant, Bob Harris introduced Armatrading who played two songs – the ubiquitous “Love and Affection” and my favourite Armatrading track – “Down to Zero”.
As teenagers in the 70s we were prone to making assumptions based…
