"Then the films that made me want to become an actor were films that were recommended by my father when I was 16, and I got my first VHS player, and they were very often these French films, Italian films in the ’60s and ’70s, and one of the films that impressed me the most was Rocco and His Brothers. Neo-realism — Rocco and His Brothers with Alain Delon, which is great because it’s told in different chapters. I think five chapters. Telling the story of each of these brothers, of this poor southern Italian family coming to Milan trying to begin a new life, and the authenticity of that neo-realistic Italian filmmaking, is very impressive. Also the drama, the way it is told, and big family issues of rivalry and jealousy and love and hatred are told in a magnificent and very moving way, and with a wonderful young Alain Delon playing Rocco."

Currently glued to season 3 of this show. Can never decide who my favourite is tho have plenty of characters I'm not so keen on like Cami or Davina.
But I can't get enough of the brothers themselves and still rooting for Hayley and Elijah!

I'm definitely going to have to give it a go. I haven't got this into a vampire programme since Buffy and Angel

"The man who wrote many Marx Brothers movies was the greatest wordsmith America has ever produced. This collection brings together his comic essays, most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker. You have to read him with a dictionary, but it’s worth it."

I've been sleeping on this movie like a struggling musician on a friend's couch. Inside Llewyn Davis is a fantastic snapshot from the Coen brothers of a folk singer in the 60's trying to make it in New York. Wonderful soundtrack and film.
