'Dirty Girls'
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 love your reviews, Fred Pete. One of my very favorite things about this thread.
Saw Art School Confidential last night. I did not like it and was surprised by that, due to loving Zwigoff's other work. The art school satire was very heavy-handed and the main character, although well-played by bambi-eyed Max Minghella,is all over the place. I really liked Sophia Myles--she manages to invest the role of the Idealized Love Interest with a lot of depth.
Frank, I think at least one factor is that O'Neal isn't the most expressive actor. In WUD, he's supposed to be wooden. And while it may not be your sort of thing, I really enjoyed the scene where he was wearing only boxer shorts and a bowtie.
And if you like the silents -- TCM is showing a Rudolph Valentino festival starting at 8 (ET) tonight.

Ooooooh.
Hmm. Must figure out what to Tivo.
Seconding the ooooh. I definitely need to see Horsemen after reading about the tango scene.
And hey, tomorrow Penn & Teller host F for Fake and Freaks. And other movies not starting with "F."
Deep Blue Sea is on TBS! I love this movie. But they seem to be cutting graphic shark violence.

Where? Wow! Where?

Heh, well, I think I dislike the idea (and some seriously unpleasant details about his personal life) of Ryan O'Neal more than I actually dislike him, because he's been in several movies I really, really like even though when I think "Ryan O'Neal" the response is "Ugh": Barry Lyndon, The Driver, Zero Effect, and of course What's Up Doc just off the top of my head.
Wheras I kinda like the idea of Babs, but usually actually experiencing her makes me want to scream like the kids in SOUTH PARK when she showed up there.
Where? Wow! Where?
Oops, sorry -- on TCM, starting at 8 EST. I saw it listed when looking up the Valentino stuff.
Thanks!
