'Time Bomb'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Should I pay $100 to go to the premiere of the new John Waters movie? It's for a good cause...
Well, the cast is...interesting: Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville (!), Chris Isaak and Selma Blair.
I know Waters is a hugely entertaining speaker, but not sure if that will come into play if he's just introducing the film.
I think at least Johnny Knoxville and Selma Blair are supposed to be there.
I saw Kitano's Zatoichi last weekend, Frankenbuddha. Definitely wacky. I think large portions of it made cultural references that passed over my head, but I enjoyed it, anyway.
John Waters is a very entertaining speaker, but I suppose he's less special if he's always around.
I think at least Johnny Knoxville and Selma Blair are supposed to be there.
Not the two stars I'd want to see out of the four, but that's me.

I've never even seen any of the original ZATOICHI movies, so I suspect there may have been a lot of in-jokes I'd didn't understand. Hugely entertaining nonetheless.

No, he's always special.
I like John Waters a lot better as a personality/public speaker than as a filmmaker.
I just got back from seeing Donnie Darko: the Director's Cut. I never saw the original, so I don't know what's different.
Wow, that is one f*ed-up film! And I mean that in a good way.
One question though, are we supposed to believe that everything that transpired was some kind of collective dream?
Not exactly. The dreams (and jet engine) are just what's left of what was real (but untenable) when it collapsed back into tenable Universe (and, therefore, back in time).
At least that's my understanding.
Well, since I posed the question I've been reading the IMDB forum on the movie and now kind of get what that was all about. But the nagging question seems to be when and why did the Tangent Universe come into being? Did it start when Donnie woke up on the road? Or at some point after?
