A free pass from the UMSL university newspaper for a new interesting (i.e. independent) comedy, Lars and the Real Girl, brought me to Tivoli again. By the way, it was a pre-premiere showing, and I was even mistaken for a journalist in the movie theater foyer, may be it's fate for me to pursue Media Studies in US?
It was a beautiful movie about simple things, told in a new way. The flash site of the film has some videos (the most interesting thing there, in fact). The plot is fascinating: a lonely man announces his new girlfriend, which appears to be a life-sized doll. I strongly recommend seeing it once it runs in the movies and becomes available on DVD.
P. S. Watch interview with Ryan Gosling (Lars) to taste what the movie is like.
