Damn close. I NEVER forget movies, so this one really bugged me.
But as I said in my earlier post, I knew it was a respected Chinese director, about five years old, set in San Fran and Vegas and shot on digital. So I typed this into Google:

And up first came "Center of the World" by Wayne Wang. 2001. Peter Sarsgaard and Molly Parker. And look at that...screenplay by Ms. Miranda July.
My, I have good taste.
I recommend it. And now that I know the actors from their recent work, I'm going to see it again myself.
Hey, another one many people missed last year was "Mean Creek." Fabulous performances, and a Nichols winning screenplay.

You typed in "digital film internet boom sex vegas san francisco" in on Google and the FIRST result that came up on the search list was a RESPECTABLE film?
Sure... ;-)
What were search result numbers 2 through 100?

Try it!!!!! Hand to God!
Well, I'll be darned...
"Center of the World". I sit corrected.
In fairness, however, the #3 search result was this:
"tommy gunn : porn star : dvd and videos and more : filmography ..."
Hand to God! ;-)
