Hahaaaaa, sweet. I went to the B&N store in Tupelo on Sunday thinking about buying the Mulholland Dr. blu, saw the $40 price tag and said "nah, they're due a half off sale any day now."

Is this a good time for me to admit that I've never seen The Graduate?

How I envy you. (The part about not having seen it, not that you get to see it for the first time, et al.)

I did, however, just watch (and loved) Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid, which I'm gathering from some things I've read might be kind of the less famous and possibly better variant of The Graduate anyway.

THK is better! But painfully hard to watch sometimes.
Absolutely. Really blindsided me, even after IIleana Douglas's preamble about how nasty it gets when she was presenting it on TCM the night I watched it.
― Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Monday, 16 November 2015 19:45 (ten years ago)
and esp for a film co-starring the director's daughter...
of course for The Graduate it helps if you're as crazy about Paul Simon's songs as Eric is. (Maybe CC will include the novel in the package.)

Her meltdown scene at the restaurant is excruciating to watch, perhaps all the more so because I'm still laughing at Grodin's absurd rationalizations as its happening.

xp You may be right. The song makes all the difference:

I thought the card might represent The Manchurian Candidate, but no, that movie's card is the queen of diamonds.

Figured the bird was Phoenix. Easy Rider already released so would they tease a stand-alone?
