One of my favorite holidays. I know it's really about Mary going to heaven, but I just like the word "assumption" used for a holiday. And look, there are e-cards!
Anyone know any good Boston movies? Every other movie is filmed in New York or Chicago, but the only Boston movie I can think of is Good Will Hunting, and I'm not a big fan.

you could start there? it's not a great piece of art, but "With Honors" gets me every time. i think it's one of those moment movies.
Posted by: jeremy at August 15, 2005 6:57 PMWow, you really do have your own blog over here. Elk says she'll start a boston blog, so make sure she actually does it. It would be hilarious if the five of you all had blogs, and you were the only ones.
Posted by: heiders at August 15, 2005 9:09 PMMaybe Wonder Boys is set in Boston? Even if it's not, it will dazzle you.
Posted by: Lowen at August 15, 2005 11:54 PMbe sure not to confuse Harvard (the setting for With Honors) and Boston. Harvard is outside Boston in Cambridge. And I think Wonder Boys is set in W. Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, perhaps. I agree, the movie is excellent. academia in all its stinkin' glory. (we really missed out at cov.)
Posted by: Jeannette at August 16, 2005 9:45 AMwell, if linnea can name Good Will Hunting (Cambridge) as a Boston movie, then dammit, can't I, too?
Posted by: jeremy at August 16, 2005 10:06 AMactually, Harvard's not really outside Boston unless Boston is really small. I'm living in Watertown which is farther away from "Boston" than Harvard, but I still like to consider that I'm moving to Boston. We'll see what the natives think.
Posted by: linnea at August 16, 2005 10:08 AMI don't have anything to add. But I miss you.
Posted by: tuggy at August 17, 2005 1:42 AMwell, i only made the distinction b/c a harvard-attending friend of mine kept correcting me when i referred to the locale as boston, and having zero familiarity with the area, i then assumed that harvard must be further outside the city than i had previously thought. so, boston it is...whatever
