Back upthread, Frank asked about why the HH didn't write about McCabe & Mrs. Miller, and I answered, too glib, that it was too large a topic. Well, I was wrong. Dana Knowles wrote about it, and I just hadn't read her article yet.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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 was joe boucher, actually. I am curious to read Dana's take on it, though. Her STRAW DOGS piece was a thing of beauty.

Yeah, she's just an amazing writer.
And sorry, the Joe sightings are so few and far between that it became you in my mind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw the Making Of for Fur on cable and now I'm intrigued.
I sorta half recalled that Diane Arbus' brother (Howard Nemerov) was a famous poet.
I had no idea that her husband had been Allan Arbus who played Dr. Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They were shooting that in my neighborhood!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't remember it being mentioned here, but I saw a very lovely Canadian film the other night called Wilby Wonderful, starring Paul Gross, Callum Keith Rennie, Sandra Oh, and a host of other Canadian actors. It's beautifully shot and a darkly funny "a day in the life of" film. Definitely worth the Netflix.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, is it finally Netflix-able? It wasn't for a while.

Compassionately intolerant
Saw Casino Royale.
Can I just say Whoa.
Pacing, casting, scenery, intensity, cleaving to the Fleming tone. Whoa.
I have only one quibble... the denoument was way, way too long.
But other than that, Barbara Broccoli and her crew, get my vote for best revisioning of a franchise since...um, since anything ever on film.
Cubby must be proud, whereever he is...his daughter has totally shown him up.
