Hmm, can't quite remember that faint voice at the beginning (good excuse to watch the film again!
![]() The thing Clem is sniffing is a bit like the 'Vick Sticks' my Dad used to use on his nose. They unblock your nose when you have a cold or something. All menthol like. You give it a good ole sniff and it really does do the trick. I'm trying to remember if they mentioned in the book (screenplay one) about Joel's job, but I can't remember so I'll have to go back and check, but I'm thinking that his job may involve something like that. Got that psychic feeling...... *do-do, do-do...* Everybody should believe in something.

Re: Couple questions about ESOTSM
The movies gods were clearly smiling down on me tonight, as what turns up on TV but the very film!! ![]() Anyways, that voice is so faint it's hard to say who it is. But he is talking about Naomi at the time, so perhaps it's supposed to be her? ![]() Everybody should believe in something.

that was my thought....but i figured it was clem....since the beginning of the movie is after he has his memory wiped so certain things they show tend to have an audio-like flash-back and the house is sugnificant to her and Joel.
but who knows. I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.

I don't remember any voices besides Joel's at that part of the movie... I'll have to watch it again... But, now that you mentioned Naomi... there is a deleted scene in which Joel calls Naomi and basically says that it is not a good idea to get back together at that point... then he calls Clem. So... who knows...!
If you have the two disc version you get to see even more deleted Naomi scenes. She actually seems very sweet too. Well, as much as you can say that about a fictional person. Lol.
Some of my favourites scenes are the deleted ones from Clem's flat when she and Joel are talking (the 'Blue Ruin's bit). They do pretty much all the bits from the original screenplay, and I think those scenes are so beautiful, sensitive and intimate. ![]() As for that voice.....I'm gonna have to watch the whole of the start of the film again (what a chore! ![]() Everybody should believe in something.

i'm left out the addtional deleted scenes snice i only have the single disc DVD.....i can only get the 2-disc online.
but i am going to watch it again and see if it is who i think it is. I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.

that is from the two disc version, right? cause I can't remember that from the single one.. "Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while. So when you are lonely, remember it's true Somebody somewhere is thinking of you."
yeah, I want that one soooooo much!! anyone who wants to buy it to me?

I think you need to sweet-talk a relative with a credit/debit card and get them to buy it online for you. ![]() There's a lovely interview with Kate Winslet and Michel Gondry too. Lots of great extra extra's. ![]() Plus in mine you got a fantastic little press book thingy, not sure if that was standard but it had some gorgeous photos and quotes inside. Like this one from Jim: "The screenplay hit a nerve in me. Although it's complex, it's very relatable. It's one of those rare times where you are involved in something that makes you thankful for your painful experiences, I could not have played the part without living it." Aawwww, bless him. Everybody should believe in something.

True.....if Jim hadn't have played Joel Barish in that film I'm not sure I'd have made it here to JCO.
![]() But, there is something else about Jim too....there's some kind of draw there that other actors can't manage.... Everybody should believe in something.

I had to check this, it made me really curious, and I found out; It's Clementine ![]() "Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while. So when you are lonely, remember it's true Somebody somewhere is thinking of you."
