K Pax-ian running

[Sweder]

Yea, it's them little End-Orphin critters . . . they get under yer skin and make y'do all kindsa crazy stuff.
Great, ain't it?

MLCM, I must say it's great to see you on this sort of diary form.
Your pleasure at a return to concerted running is obvious and welcome, not least because I'm not the only poor sod on here with a serious case of keyboard overload after uplifting runs

Spacey is superb, I'm a big fan of his work.
I saw K-Pax and found more in it than I had expected, much along the same lines you describe, ie commentary on life's opportunities, travelling in and out of each others' lives before moving on. At least that's what I remember. You obvioulsy know KS's work so I won't bore you with recommendations (most people have seen Se7en, American Beauty and The Usual Suspects anyway). But Jeff Bridges is a little more obscure. He made a movie with Robin Williams called The Fisher King (Dir. Terry Gilliam). It did little at the box office but has similar life-enhancing messages to K-Pax, is well crafted and has the bonus of a sassy performance from the lovely Mercedes Rhuel.
