Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
I really liked Boys From Brazil, myself. I think it translates to celluloid pretty well, but I'm culturally biased.
This is a soccer movie? The only Boys From Brazil I remember involved a plot to clone Hitler and had Gregory Peck (entertainingly) miscast as Dr. Mengale.
Aimee! I was just coming in to ask if anyone had the dvd yet. How was it?
I'm not Aimée, and I haven't even watched disk 1 yet, but I'm really giddy about the Sarah Vowell featurette.
I'm with Frankenbuddha on the Boys from Brazil.
Also My teeth hurt.
THE INCREDIBLES!!!!
We picked ours up at Target after baseball practice. Emmett deems this the greatest Tuesday in recent history. Btw, it's on sale at Target through Saturday. Got the two disc set, widescreen for $15.98. That's a good price around here.
Best Buy is having a sale also.
There's another Boys From Brazil, I'm guessing. This wasn't Hitler -- just a doc. It was more about the sport onscreen than anything else.
THE INCREDIBLES!!!!
I met a woman Saturday night who really truly is a human Edna Mode. The hair, the glasses (well the human Edna's glasses were clear frames, not black, but just as huge and thick), the 'tude -- it was uncanny. The people I was with had to forcibly stifle their laughter until human!Edna walked away.
You know Edna Mode is an homage to Edith Head, right?
Edited to add link: [link] (It plays music, beware.)
Heh. I do. t edit This woman had a totally different face shape -- much more like the Edna character and much less like the actual Edith.
