oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Maybe if theatres started making it a pleasant experience again, rather than an oppurtunity to spend a lot of money to watch a film you can't enjoy because of the inconsiderate strangers watching it with you, people might be more willing to go.
just felt it needed repeating

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh -- there were also fun things here [link] , except, don't you always get two pieces with one cut?
Three6 Mafia is about to be on Ellen. Good times.

The Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep bit was amusing at first, but it felt like it went on too long.
Yes, but how do you feel about Altman movies?
I didn't feel the Tomlin/Streep went on too long, and quite delightedly, they sustained it.
I kept wondering aloud if Altman had written the bit himself, as it was all just spot on. And I definitely got the feeling that Tomlin and Streep had rehearsed the bit once or twice -- enough to have it down more or less, but not so much that it was no longer fresh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What we need is a theater with AI to detect the obnoxious viewers and inject a sedative into their butts.

I wanted to throw a copy of Stoppard's Travesties at Tomlin and Streep, while yelling "proper pacing and decent dialog, damn it". Perhaps I just haven't seen enough Altman movies to get it.

That's exactly what Altman tries very hard to avoid in his movies.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yes, but how do you feel about Altman movies?
Exactly. I loved it to pieces.
This is kind of nifty -- Fourth Ammendment shipping tape.

Didn't Altman do The Player? The dialog in that one didn't make me want to throw things.

24: I had no idea how fond I was of Edgar. I was screaming "No, no, not Edgar" at my television.
Altman does use overlapping dialogue like that quite a bit, but it doesn't seem as awkward in the movies as it did with Tomlin and Streep.
