I always love scenes where stoic, even tempered characters completely break down. I love the end of Sense and Sensibility, when Eleanor (Emma Thompson) starts sobbing after finding out that the Hugh Grant character wasn't married like she thought.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

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.

Hey, Corwood! This makes me think of the Office finale.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH is out tonight, so I am going to watch Gosford Park in Altman's honor. I own quite few Altman films , but GP is the one calling to me today.

Compassionately intolerant
Gosford Park is lovely on all levels, but it is enhanced even more so by the featurettes. It choked me up that Altman hired folks who had actually been in service as butlers and housemaids during the period of the film to consult on things like table settings and house intrigues/manners.
They were treated with such respect and obviously enjoyed sharing their stories...and a style of living that, for better or worse, is long since gone.
I highly recommend buying the dvd!
His fervent attention to detail and 'reality' were the things I loved best about Altman's work.

It's on my Christmas list! I've wanted it since it came out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I just added about a dozen Shirley Temple movies to my wish list.

Which one? Dawn in the BBC one?

Sweet. I love that movie, too, and wished I owned a copy. I was just thinking about consoling myself with McCabe or The Long Goodbye. I think Thieves Like Us may be the only other Altman I have around the house, and I just rewatched it a few weeks back.

I second Beej's comment that the extras are really worthwhile on the DVD. It's definitely worth owning.

Oh, indeed. But then he starts talking about Dolly Parton to make everyone feel better.
