the book, not the movie

H.P. Lovecraft is a very good writer but I don't think he gets enough credit for it. The Call of Cthulhu is very creepy and has kind of a Borges structure. Since it's Lovecraft it's about cosmic, unspeakable horror, which is why it's interesting that some brilliant person turned it into this:

The Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack

I liked the movie, although I think it was a lot more like a short story than a traditional film. I think I'd like it more if i saw it again. What I REALLY like is the soundtrack. I tried to find clips of some of the best songs - there is a lot of title music from old Indian films that doesn't really have youtube representation. But if you watch this, the end and credits of The Darjeeling Limited, you can hear a fine sampling. The Kinks, that catchy french song, and - my favorite, about 5:10 in -title music from Merchant Ivory's "Bombay Talkie"

With All the World

"You could have the whole maldito world if you wanted.

"The world! It was what she desired with her entire heart, but how could she achieve it? She watched the flow of traffic past the parque and did not know."
