[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Though, yeah, throwing the tab back in the can... why did we do that (er, mine were soda cans at the time)?
My son does this even though pull tabs AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DETACH any more.
I think of it as natural selection in action. As in, one of these days his Mama is going to thwack him one.
Oh, Betsy, that's hysterical. Subverting pull tab nanny-ism. But, yeah, in the end... stop doing that!
Did anyone besides me catch the Inside promo during House tonight?
Am I going crazy or is the music on this promo the same music that is on the Serenity trailer?
If it is, I am enjoying the weird but somehow appropriate synchronicity.
Oh, yeah - I meant to say that I saw the "This summer's best thriller isn't in theaters..." trailer during House. Liked it muchly.
I don't know about the music, Tamara, and now I can't remember it well enough to distinguish whether it is the same or if I'm just remembering it that way. Gee, maybe I should rewatch the Serenity trailer to see if that helps. ::dutiful sigh::
If it wouldn't be too much trouble...
Oh wait. Maybe I should just watch it again. bother bother.
ETA: Yep, same music. I don't know why this makes me happy. It just does.
I think you're right. That's just... neat.
I miss the old pull tabs. You could make rings of them.
Especially since the new seasons of Nip/Tuck and The Wire won't start this summer (dammit), I'm pimping The Inside to family and friends as a great new summertime drama to check out.
I miss the old pull tabs. You could make rings of them.
You could also use the tab part to spring-launch the ring part. I was never a very accurate shot, but at least I was easily (and inexpensively) amused.
Clearly, Tim killed Miss Kitty Fantastico. Accident...... Riiiight....
What's NCIS?
Just got an email about a screening of Le Grand Rôle at the MFA in Boston. Here's the description:
Le Grand Rôle by Steve Suissa (France, 2003, 89 min.) Laughter and tears vie for top billing in this lovely second feature by French director Steve Suissa (Taking Wing). For years, friends and actors Maurice, Sami, Simon, Elie, and Edouard have been waiting for their big break. The future looks bright when famous American director Rudolph Grichenberg (Peter Coyote) offers Maurice the part of Shylock in his Yiddish screen adaptation of The Merchant of Venice. But his fortunes reverse quickly when Maurice learns that his beloved wife is seriously ill. With his friends' help, Maurice takes on the greatest role of his life, and in playing his part, illuminates the meaning of art, love, and truth.
Anyone seen it?
