Yeah that scene is actually my favorite too. The movie reaaaaaaaaally turns from that point. "Pass the asparagus."

"Can someone please pass the asparagus!?"

Related to Kevin Spacey, have you seen L.A. Confidential?

I'm "late to the table" (and possibly intruding on a e-conversation) but American Beauty is indeed a classic. I own it, as a matter of fact. LA Confidential (and The Usual Suspects) is a solid flick.

I have seen LA Confidential, yes, and I loved that one as well. Such a great movie, I should give it a watch again sometime soon. Usual Suspects is fantastic as well, actually been longer since I saw that one.

It's messssssed up...and its Kubrick, so it's really long, but it's a great, great film. Second half is seriously almost unbearably slow, but if you've read the book it helps- once you've seen the ending, you know why the slow stuff was so crucial, and its better the second time through (or like I've said, if you read the book first)

The other hard thing about the movie is that author Anthony Burgess invented his own language to write for the characters, called nadsat, which is sometimes difficult to understand. The context generally gives you a good idea, and actually also leaves many things open to interpretation which can be fun and mysterious when reading the story. The version I read (rented from a library) actually had a published nadsat glossary in the back. I highly recommend reading the book.

I replied to this but for some reason it got lost in the quick reply? Anyway I said good luck to you, and congratulations if it goes through. The anticipation must be a hair unnerving though

Tell me about it. I had an interview last week, and the guy told me I should have a secondary interview sometime this week, and the anticipation is killing me. I'm keeping hope though since my last interview was on a Friday, so I figure they probally like doing them on weekends.
