I'm TiVoing I Remember Mama for JZ. Turn of the century costume, San Francisco setting, 40s movie, Irene Dunne - can't miss.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ooh, I LOVE that movie. A lovely script and all the performances are first-rate.

Heh. JZ is watching it now and telling The Halloweenie that Irene Dunne was her Yiayia's favorite actress.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I wanted to add to the thumbs that are up for MI:3. It's great fun, and something blows up every five minutes. Well done, J.J.
I've also seen Munich and Good Night and Good Luck in the last couple days, which are both more important movies to be existing but not nearly as fun to watch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If only Murrow had gone on an explosives-rampage, GNaGL could have been the best movie ever.

Is there still a link somewhere for the Annie Proulx story that Brokeback Mountain was adapted from? I watched the movie on dvd yesterday afternoon and uh, I was expecting to be swept up into it and so far -- that isn't happening.
I think that one of my main impressions of the movie was the extreme poverty that both main characters lived in (well, up until the time that Jack marries into the farm equipment business) -
perhaps that made the biggest impression on me because I watched it less than two weeks after watching Texas Ranch House -- it's like, in 150 years - some things just don't change.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sumi, I think most of them have been taken down, but this one is still up, possibly because it's a slightly different version than the one that was published in Close Range, or possibly because it's a non-U.S. site.
