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.
That sounds good, but I won't watch it until after I'm done mainlining West Wing, due to your final sentence.
In something very vaguely related, Martin Sheen does the voiceover at the beginning of the trailer for Who Killed the Electric Car, which I saw before An Inconvenient Truth. I thought that was a good touch, since a significant portion of the viewing audience probably associates his voice with President Bartlett.
Unfortuntately, even in the edited form I saw it in back in the day, Martin Sheen has always registered as this sick fuck no matter what I see him in, including Pres. Bartlett.
This is totally me. I saw that movie when I was eleven or twelve, on TV, and ever since then Martin Sheen has carried a vaguely sleazy, very creepy vibe for me. Loved the movie, though, and the book, too.
I saw A Prairie Home Companion this afternoon, and it was pure joy. Just really really pleasant to watch. And great music, and some of it is just hysterically funny. I'd see it again in a second.
oh, yay!
I rather liked it, too, although it struck me a little more Altman than Keilor. I am really glad they made it, though, since, like the t-shirt says, "extinct is forever".
It strikes me Keillorness might be hard to film and I'm not sure why.
Well, a lot of the humor is in the descriptions and digressions, which film isn't so great at conveying, at least not in a humorous way.
And it's quiet...filming that would look to me like when Yoko Ono asked Paul from Mad about You to film the wind.
I'm not a Keillor fan, but I'm Altman fan enough to give the movie a whirl.
I saw the Prairie Home Companion on stage in San Diego many, many moons ago. It was a lot of fun. I hope they managed to translate that over to the film, there's such a difference between the feel of a stage performance and a film performance I'm afraid I'd find the film lacking.
