Mr. Show did a great stop-action Hard Day's Night parody, which I can't find on YouTube. But I must comment on the Mr. Show goodness on YouTube! For instance:

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At last, I can share it with my Metal Dude Bud!
Do I assume correctly that you
Commitments
fans have also seen
The Snapper
and
The Van
?
Sundance has shown a movie that the two Chicago Tribune movie reviewers actually liked, an Irish musical called Once. From their description, I hope it gets picked up for U.S. distribution, because I'd definitely go see it.
Huh. The director's brother taught me screenwriting. And his sister taught me Medieval English. And his brother-in-law was the head of my masters course. And Hansard's girlfriend babysits my cousins.
Welcome to Ireland!
I have seen the whole Rabbitte Trilogy, but I'm not sure who else has.
But I think "The Commitments" is still my favorite because I love soul in a deep and unholy way.
But they were all funny...
We watched The Notorious Betty Page tonight. Was it supposed to be that ambivalent? Porn good! No, porn BAD!
Just finished Brick, which we liked pretty well, once we gave into the conceit. We didn't realize that it was going to be another iteration of Red Harvest until towards the end.
I thought that was Miller's Crossing(Look! Crosetti!)
The conceit of
Miller's Crossing
is that it's a hash of three sources, rather than ripping off one novel unattributed. So yeah,
Miller's Crossing
has some
Red Harvest
in it, although the main premise comes from
The Glass Key
and the climax from Nathanael West's
Miss Lonelyhearts.
