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 think large portions of it made cultural references that passed over my head, but I enjoyed it, anyway.
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.
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?
Well, it was
certainly in place when he saw
creepy
-bunny-guy. I'm tempted
to think that
that's where
it started,
as he woke up
from the
tangent in
bed
with the engine about to crash through the roof, and awake.
I may have to go and see it again.
I went and saw
The Princess Diaries 2
today, finally. I gave up on finding anybody to see it with me (all of my friends who would do so being already in college and, thus, not in this town) and went alone.
To the 2:20 matinee.
Luckily, I like little kids. They completely don't annoy me. So that was good. Though I caught a few suspcious glances from the protective parents. Guess it's weird for a 21-year-old guy to go to that kind of movie by himself on a Saturday afternoon.
I thought the movie was really cute. Completely silly, of course, but silly with heart. I completely enjoyed myself. It made me happy.
Anne Hathaway is gorgeous, and I now want to see
Ella Enchanted
even more than I did before. Question: does anybody else think she looks like Amber Tamblyn? (or vice versa, I guess). I noticed the Mia/Joan resemblance all the way through this movie.
And it was nice to see Callum Blue as someone respectable, rather than All "Dead Like Me" roguish.
There was also a trailer for
First Daughter
which looks bad, but in a cute sappy way. I kinda like Katie Holmes, and I kinda like Marc Blucas, so I'm definitely planning on seeing that one because I also kinda like bad teen movies (if you couldn't tell).
Cereal:
"Incredible movie. Feels like you've been mentally fellated."
That is the best IMDB summary review I've EVER SEEN. For an upcoming movie called "Havoc," apparently.
