Two things that get Taylor all a titter:
1) forgetting to mention that you watched the movie The Conversation with him
2) the movie The Conversation
Cass, Taylor and I watched The Conversation on Friday night. It was a perfect relaxing night in with friends that I needed after several weekends of travelling.
The movie was aptly described by Taylor as a quiet thriller. The film is not fast paced or heart pounding in suspense. It is more about atmosphere and characterazation than dialogue itself, which is of course ironic. I enjoyed the film and Hackman's performance. The only actors I did not enjoy were the women he loved (Teri Garr and some floozy).
My only problem with the film is it is laborious so it is not exactly the movie to watch when you are tired. I also found that the ending could be misleading as I interpreted it differently than both Taylor and Cass. I have since come around to their way of thinking, only because the movie never establishes an unreliable narrator and therefore what we see must be taking place.
Overall the film is solid on all fronts, including soundtrack. I don't think I would watch it again but would recommend it as a thoughtful, quiet thriller.

nice review, I agree with you on most all of it.
And thanks for mentioning me. It lets me know that I'm important to you. *sigh*
It's nice that you two (Caleb and Colin) have each other. I especially like that Caleb calls Colin "Taylor". Cute.
