To sum up, during the filming of the death scene, Beatty froze up on the first take and just stood there smiling while all the squibs went off and Faye Dunaway went through her death throes. Man, I wish they kept outtakes like that back in the day - that would be comedy gold.

Damn, that's an expensive take. Ya gotta be in the moment, Warren!

Well, according to Penn, he felt really bad about it - he just freaked out a little. Damn, though, I'd love to have seen the footage (from multiple angles).

Last night I TiVo'ed Deliverance. So at first glance, I thought of a totally different Beatty....

"Squeal lahk a pig."

Summarizing (that was almost Dummarizing) IMDB summaries seems to indicate that Sky Captain is very pretty, not that interesting, Wimbledon is pleasant enough, and Bernie Mac does a good job in Mr. 3000.

A drunk Edward Furlong was arrested for trying to free some lobsters.

I don't know what a freed lobster would do in Kentucky.

Hit on his sister and drink a brew.

Same as everyone else.

I just got back from Sky Captain and liked it a lot. Mainly for stylistic reasons. There was just a lot to look at (besides Jude Law, who never did anything for me before, but here...) and I really liked the Wizard of Oz effect with the black and white before the island and colors afterwards. The art deco (is that the right term...I'm not sure) style was really appealing to me.

Just saw Deliverance. That's an intense 45 minutes in the middle there, especially when the wind and rain are doing their thing outside.

It's one of those films that, if you see it in the theater, you'll be spending the first five minutes outside after it's over re-adjusting to reality.

But not for the kids, by any means. (TCM rated it TV-MA for language. I'd add violence and possibly sex.)
