Nautilus? I thought you said noodle house
Tampopo (1985) is a delightful movie and I thank all the gods and especially Inari that we made a full plate of sushi and a stockpot of ramen before we started watching, because otherwise we would have been very unhappy. People should recommend me food movies, because I was talking about them with
rushthatspeaks afterward; I have seen Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) and Babette's Feast (1987), but that covers a very small spectrum of cuisines. Also, Tsutomu Yamazaki is awesome.
(And thus, apparently, I celebrated the fall equinox. Happy autumn!)
I have started to remember my dreams again. Last night was a sort of science fiction throwback: I didn't leave on a deep-space research project with my lover who was a doctor, because he had lied to me about being an alien; when their ships broke up in space, they rolled apart in sullen, almost maroon billows of fire, because of the atmospheric difference. I remember pushing my way off the ship, knowing there was too much bureaucracy in the passenger lists for him to find me in time. Seriously, I have no idea. The last thing I finished before bed was a completely realist novel set from 1935 to the present day.
I am not planning to watch Incubus (1965) when it screens tonight on TCM, but since it stars a pre-Trek William Shatner and it is entirely in Esperanto, I feel like people should know it's out there. I will instead be attending an oratorio about how the power of music makes you burn down Persepolis.

It's on the list.
Other good food movies include Bonjour Monsieur Shalomi, Chocolat (2000), Mostly Martha (US version is No Reservations, but it's not as good), Soul Kitchen (out in theaters now - limited release).
I have seen Chocolat (I liked it far less than the book, but that may be a matter of taste); I've seen reviews for Soul Kitchen; I've never heard of the other two. Thank you!
