the header suggests that maybe this will be a doomsday posting but it isn't. what it is is a very funny short film about a shrink who learns he has six weeks left to live. alright that's not so funny but the story will leave you laughing. nominated for an oscar, the film was written and directed by rob pearlstein.

I don't find this film nearly so funny as you seem to think it is, Steven. Surely it wasn't nominated as a comedy?!?
I LUVED it! Yes, I got a giggle or two, but even more I saw this as an almost allegorical representation of what happens when one suddenly realizes that every moment is important, that life doesn't simply continue on and on ad infinitum and blah blah blah, that truth is important.
In fact, I think I'll go and watch it again.
Just watched it again. This is a really worthwhile film, Steven. Will probably come back to it often. Thank you so much for sharing!
hi goldenrod,
i'm glad that you "weathered the storm" having come through hurricane ike in one sound piece!
i'm glad that you came to enjoy, appreciate and eventually value the film. there are usually several reminders through the course of our lives regarding the value of the moment - the real value. you know, when you realize all of a sudden that each moment carries weight, and import, and value and really matters. that each moment is an eternity. in a good way. that the truth of a moment - which is so easily compromised - is not worth giving up for the sake of comfort or ease or personal well-being.
i loved this film and have watched it a few times just because!!!
