It was a little sparky in my heart.

Also, what is up with this segment is Christopher Doyle is a cinematographer, and cinematographers rarely make the successful leap to director. (This doesn't go for the other way: "Peter Andrews," aka Steven Soderbergh, is pretty awesome in my book.) Man, I so don't taime <I>Paris Je T'aime</i>. I kind of liked the Payne, the Coens, the Natali and the Assayas (which is amazing if you let the ambiance soak over you but don't pay attention to its admittedly blah storyline). But the bad (Craven, Chomet, LaGravenese, Salles, Schmitz and -- sorry -- Chadha) are derailingly bad. Bring on <I>New York Stories</i> in my opinion. I just plowed through <I>Freaks and Geeks</I> for the first time myself. Martin Starr rules!
