    It's not worth watching.

    I'll upload it tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.

    Seriously, though, it's painfully slow.

    Hey, thanks - I downloaded it but itunes wanted
    your password (it specifically said Paren) for me
    to even watch it. I tried using WMP but that didn't
    work either. Unless you give me your password (which I can
    understand if you don't), I won't be able to watch it.

    I haven't seen Darjeeling but Hotel Chevalier is pretty boring aside from Natalie Portman somewhat nude.

    Serious


    Basically that midget dude is in some fancy hotel room, acting wierd. In comes Portman speaking some words. He sais, She sais. She becomes naked, she has bruises. It's possibly the most unsexy nude scene ever. The end.

    I can see how watching it on a computer screen split off from the feature film would be rather boring, but seeing it on the big screen and in the context of the whole film is an entirely different experience. Once the actual movie starts you already sort of know the Jason Schwartzman character. I thought it was a wonderful way to begin the cinematic experience. And it sets up the joke of Schwartzman playing that Peter Sarstedt song on his ipod while they're on the train. I'm surprised to learn that the short wasn't shown when the film initially came out.

    Yes, thank you! See, everyone keeps posting "yo it sucks" but
    don't seem to understand that I don't CARE if it sucks, all I
    know is, when I went to see Darjeeling Limited (which I thought
    was fantastic) in the theater, at the beginning of the film they
    show the very end shot of "Hotel Chevalier" and said something
    like "to see the introductory short film, go to iTunes.com" ...
    I forgot about it for a while (admittedly until I heard someone
    on the radio talking about NP getting nude in it) and when I went
    to watch it on iTunes, I was told I had to go see it in the theater.



    So, yeah, I just want to see it to complete my DL experience,
    whether it sucks or not.

    I zapped it up quick when I heard about it, before I actually saw the movie. Sure it's not an Oscar winner or anything but a satisfyingly enough short. I am all for more directors putting out these types of related stories, especially when they are available for free on the internet, and include nude scenes.

    Stuff like this, and The Wire prequels on Amazon, to me are one of the coolest things about the internet -- a few morsoles to whet your appetite in anticipation of the real deal.
