In White Heat Glen Ford goes after the mob after they murder his wife and kid.

I saw SIN CITY on Friday, and really liked it. I want to compose a few thoughts and post almost an essay, but I will say now that it had the funniest death scene since Paul Reubens in the Buffy movie (that would be the
skin head with the arrows
)
One other shallow note, disconcertingly, because of the photography or SOMETHING, Clive Owen kept turning into Dylan McDermott and, more interestingly, Bruce Willis kept turning into Mickey Rourke the way he was before he became Hollywood's answer to Keith Richards (admitadely, with less hair). The latter really kept throwing me since Willis used to get so much flak early on for "doing Mickey Rourke's schtick".
I find it intersting that so many buffistas have mentioned that the Marv segment was the weakest, because that was my favorite part of the movie (though not necessarily most enjoyable).
1. Why did I just watch Rat Race?
2. Why did I laugh?
My gym shows
Rat Race
in the cardio room all the time, and I disgrace myself by laughing at it WAY more than I should. That's mostly the Seth Green factor, though.
The Quentin Tarantino "guest directed" scene was instantly recognizable because the acting suddenly came to life, and the visuals were really used instead of the only goal being to make it look like the comics.
How much exacty did he direct? I have heard he directed the Clive Owen segment, but that seems kind of lengthy for a "guest director" credit.
His was the scene where
Clive Owen is talking to the almost-decapitated Benicio del Toro in the car.
The only thing I noticed that was different about that scene was that the lighting was fucked up. It's like they filmed it inside a disco.

I thought the Marv segment was the strongest of the three. Cared nothing for Bruce as Hartigan and thought that segment was the worst one. Clive Owen was too pretty for me, but his segment was the most enjoyable. My reactions towards movies is seems to be so often completely opposite of many others.
Not this time, Elais. Those are exactly my opinions. Well, except for the word "too" in front of "pretty." Those words in that order have no meaning to me.
I saw
The Animation Show
today. I went to a theatre that has a row of recliners and sat in one. It was comfy but I almost fell asleep.
Anyway, the movie was good.
However, cows remain funny.
Cows are comedy gold. We're currently enjoying the ads for the Tiananmen Cow staring down the bulldozer that's clearing space for a new burger joint. "Eat More Chikkin" - it's very Far Side really. I love how Far Side animals can write, but their spelling is atrocious.

I think it is well established by now that I totally and completely suck, and am way too lazy to find the proper reference for the increasingly unglued associations in my head. From now on, whenever I refer to something like Othello, you should probably assume I'm talking about Three's Company instead. I'm that unreliable.
