Mal ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Brothers Grimm was disappointing, and I wasn't expecting all that much from it except prettiness. It's like watching the "Love Conquers All" version of Brazil. Occasionally you can feel Gilliam trying to squirm through, but mostly it feels like someone with no sense of humor was trying to ape Tim Burton. Which is just odd.
But maybe he'll rant entertainingly on the DVD.
Art School Confidential, the Daniel Clowes/Terry Zwigoff film that was supposed to open on September 30, got pushed back to 2006.

Fuck! That was one of my most-looked-forward-to movies this summer. Bastards. First V for Vendetta, now this.
Meanwhile, Deuce Bigelow 2 was released on time.

To tell the truth, I laughed like a drain at the first one despite (or because of ) the extreme low-browness of the humor. But after hearing about Schneider taking out magazine ads to harrangue a critic I wouldn't go into that theater if they had Oded Fehr present as an usher.
At least the Pink Panther remake was also moved to 2006. Whoever thought that that was a good idea was smoking something.

Hint: It was crack.
I just got back from seeing "The Man With The Screaming Brain" which was written and directed by Bruce Campbell. There was the added bonus of Bruce being there himself and signing copies of his new book "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way". Both Bruce and the movie were very entertaining. He did a harange about the kind of crap that is considered A list material for movies these days. Remakes of old TV shows or old movies or crap like Deuce Bigelow 2. He also has it in for Ashton Kutcher.
I love Bruce Campbell!
I suppose as one of the foremost experts based on his career, he knows crappy movies when he sees them.
