Crimes and Misdemeanours

I am  surprised that I came across this Woody Allen's movie only after I saw so many other movies by him.
Really great. Why? I don't know exactly why I found this movie so comic, maybe it was a vision of Woody Allen laughing when he was writing the script. He decides to crush the character played by himself in the most complete way. You would not  imagine such fancy "Job's disasters" even in your worst nightmares. Why is it funny? I can't say, check it yourself.

SOME PLOT ELEMENTS ARE CONTAINED IN THE FOLLOWING:
I disliked the simple fact that the whole idea of one of two parallel halves of the story is fully involved in a recent Alan's movie "Match point". If you saw none of them I slightly recommend the "Crimes" because it has another parallel half (the comic one). 
Then I disliked a goof at the point of murder: the experienced mobster, brother of Judah, does not realize that the there are many letters and other leads to Judah at victim's apartment. Judah realizes this himself and does the cleaning by which he makes his bother only upset.


For comparision, my approximate ranking of (my favorite and seen) Allen's movies:

1. Last Part of "Everything you wanted to know about sex..."
2. Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona
3. Crimes and Misdemeanors
4. Annie Hall (not pretty sure, since it was long time ago but I liked it)
5. Match Point
6. Manhattan
   
   
7. Hollywood Ending

Friday Night Skate BCN

After more than 6 month nightskating again. Suprisingly good oranization with street blocking (in contrast to warnings I heard about Barcelona), and similar number of skaters like in A'dam. Yet there is some difference: http://www.fridaynightskate.com/ (A'dam) states "20:30 start but we gather since 20:00" and so it is, while http://www.patinar-bcn.com/ says "at 22:30 start" and at 22:30 happens the gathering and the start is at no earlier than ten to eleven. An "evidence":) :

That's a pity the skate does not start in the daylight, one could see more (and the photos would be better).
Still, going along the see, seeing interesting buildings at the end of Diagonal

suddently arriving at fundations of the Sagrada Familia and at Arc de Triumph makes the skating interesting. Unfortunatelly, for Inglés-speakers it is much harder to chat with locals then in Amsterdam.

Museu Picasso

Surprisingly I was able to get up before noon today (I don't want to specify why surprisingly) and, moreover, found an idea of going for mass into the old cathedral of Barcelona nice. Of course I would not understand (which, on the contrary,  might be sometimes an advantage :) ) and would not stay for the whole time. But seeing the nice place again after a year and spending little time "alone" was attractive.
Since it is a long journey (35 minutes by train) I of course wanted to make use of my visit to BCN center and planned to join Eddie and others at swing dancing place in Parc de Cuitadella (and possibly do something else with them afterwards).
For some reasons I don't want to specify I was only able to come to the Parc 15 minutes before the end of swing dancing and nobody was there (already?), maybe because of slightly rainy weather.
My plan included two options: Casa Batló or Museu Picasso. Since the museum was on my way first, I checked it out and it turned out that I hit by accidence the only day of the month, when the entrance is free (first Sunday of each month) which saved me either 9 or 6 Euros! Nice!
The temporary exposition was the best of the museum. It showed a period of Picasso of mixing humans and nonliving objects together in a way that you cannot recognize one from another. Among nonliving objects almost always was a guitar so the museum is very recommended for all lovers of this instrument (or lovers of the shape of the guitar as well).
Beside that there were some sketches of Picasso projected and they showed that besides being the founder of Cubism, Picasso was the founder of the graph theory as well :).  The pictures were exactly like from graph theory textbooks! Some of the sketches (or proofs?) included really really huge graphs, probably some extensive case analysis:) Despite the prohibition of taking the photos, I include here one very small "graph" of, as you can easily guess, guitar.

Sorry for the "mobile" quality, in reality it's much better.
