La Pieta does do something to the heart. They should not allow people to take photographs of it, however - that is disruptive.

eXistenZ is ... okay. I didn't get it. Interesting, though.

Back to work ... more later.

Just scanning this list makes me feel cold and nostalgic . . . I'll get back to you after further exploration. I've read and heard most everything here before, but I honestly haven't seen *any* of the films (!).
