1. Casablanca, which I had only seen bits of before, found used on DVD the other day and finally watched last night, and which is, indeed, all that, in my not so humble opinion. The very definition of a prime ensemble cast, a slew of grouchy one-liners, beautifully photographed, indeed a great film. Your thoughts? I will say that a couple of the potboiler moments almost tipped things over, but I've seen a lot worse, and any number of scenes or exchanges made up the difference easily.
2. Related to that and probably asked before -- you and yer ex have A Song. Do you request it from DJs or musicians? Do you specifically request it *around* your ex? Do you switch the radio off or have a fit if you hear it and then skedaddle? Etc. -- again, I'm sure we've asked about songs that have been tough to hear, but how dramatic/melodramatic have your circumstances with said song ever gotten?
