Among the deleted scenes on the IT DVD is a collection of something like thirty or so takes of Clooney's dorky partner saying "Everybody loves berries," to him at the wedding.
It's very surreal. The words begin to lose all meaning.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

Throughout the movie, I was just overwhelmed with an impluse to bitchslap the whiny-ass John Turturro character until Sunday. And despite liking the movie a lot better, I felt the same way about Nick Cage character in Adaptation. Don't know what this says about me.
Writers tend to make for main characters that engender a burning desire to bitch-slap the hell out of them. It's a thing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Okay, wait, we have a rapture about the Coen brothers and nobody mentions Miller's Crossing?
Because it's my favorite hands-down (seconds are Lebowski and Raising Arizona ) and I would say probably their most complex. They cribbed the plot of it from a Dashiell Hammett novel, but made it their own with a particularly sour interpretation.

I heart Miller's Crossing very, very much.

Nutty just said what I was thinking all through this conversation.

A lapse on my part. I love it. Best use of Gabriel Byrne ever.

Pretty damned good use of Albert Finney, too.

This one's not a comedy, btw. But it is pretty freakin' great.
