Re: Babel
Oh yeah, I thought that the movie itself was pretty good. I think that the Japanese story was the best and most moving. They did manage to capture Moroccan life outside of the cities pretty spot on. And it was nice to see the people speak Darija, which is the dialect of Arabic here. These type of things, I feel made the movie really good.

They premired this last year here at the International Marrakech Film Festival, in which Brad Pitt was here for it, along with a long list of other actors. The film festival is getting huge here now; and this is going to probably bring more stupid idiot tourists, unfortunately.

I am really begining to hate living in the middle of Marrakech and just feel like moving up into the mountains and becoming a sheep herder.
