I saw Transamerica yesterdayy, which was quite good, but only really sprang to life when
they are with Bree's family.
But they showed trailers for Tristam Shandy which looked hilarious, and another British movie called Imagine Me and You, about a girl torn about to marry her boyfriend but finds herself attract to another woman, which also looked good. As a BTVS bonus, ASH plays the her dad.
Sodom and Gomorrah: The Movie.

Somehow, I'm betting "Oh, go ahead, rape my daughters instead" isn't in this one.
Jilli! Have you seen The Tomb of Ligeia with Vincent Price?
No, but I will make sure to track it down.
Well...I tried to see Zentropa today, but apparently nobody at IFC Center looked at the print before they showed it (we were at the first screening), because it had no subtitles! And only about 15% of the film is in English. For about the first 45 minutes, we all assumed that it was supposed to be like this, because the only conversations in German were little sidebars, and the majority of the content was in English, but after a while, it became clear that something was wrong. E went to ask one of the employees, who said, yes, this print doesn't have subtitles, sorry we didn't tell you before. So we left and got our money back.
On the plus side, we were sitting right next to Jena Malone, who is just as adorable in person as she is onscreen. She does get a few points deducted for leaving her phone on vibrate and answering a text message during the film. She left when we did.
I think about "Brokeback' a lot, but there were spots that were a little slow. I just don't really have an epic brain.

OMG JEALOUS. My Jena Malone love defies explanation, as I think she's a good but not great actress and pretty and cute but not gorgeous or anything. But I love her. I think that it's because the way she walks in
Saved!
is totally a mating call for me, because she bounces on the balls of her feet in EXACTLY the same way I do. She totally wants me.
Though I think if I were to run into her at a movie theater, what conversation there was would mostly be me saying: "Saved! was so good!" I probably wouldn't bring up
Cheaters
(which I may be one of three people in the world to actually own on DVD) but I might.
So while the FiL was here, we caught him up on movies that he needed to see but amazingly had not. The watch list:
- Serenity
- Grosse Pointe Blank
- The Ring
- Pitch Black
- Bubba Ho-Tep
- Session 9
- Six-String Samurai
All were big hits, with
Pitch Black, Session 9,
and
Bubba Ho-Tep
topping his list. He didn't find
The Ring
all that scary, oddly.
I hope at least Session 9 scared the pants off him then. Creepy movie.
Hey, I never got to see Six-String Samurai. How much fun is it?
