'Ariel'
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.
Mods & Francophiles Alert!
Who Are You, Polly Magoo? (1966, William Klein) will be showing on the Sundance Channel, Weds, 9/12.
This movie is only available in PAL format as an import and rarely airs. It's about the Most Mod Movie ever.
Klein also did the pop art influenced satire Mr. Freedom
Did we know Tony Head was in Sweeney Todd? Or did I miss the memo.
The movie version? Seriously? Christ, it just keeps getting better and better.
Ah, he's in the chorus.
The chorus has some solo bits, though -- quartets and quintets and the like. Provided the movie isn't changed too much from the show.
OK kiddies. If you already snuck and and watched the whole R rated gorefest you don't need to duck and run on your way out of the theatre. I'm not going to grab you and extract the film from your memories.
Halloween?
Hey, Laga, how do you post from work? Do you have a desk job at a theater so you've got 'net access handy like us other...what's a polite word for stapled-to-the-chair corporate whore?
Yeah I'm the manager mmkay? Of course a lot of the time I'm stapled to the computer I could/should be out on the floor. Mostly I'm working on something in the office and popping into b.org when I get bored, I'm on hold, I'm waiting for something to load or refresh. Ferinstance right now I'm waiting for the incredibly slow home office computer to send the report I have to fill out on the day's revenues through the tubes.
edit: oh yes it was Halloween they were sneaking out of.
Ahah. Forget the people on the floor. Probably just whiners. Stick by the computer.
Besides, if they get used to me as the manager who's never on the floor I am more likely to catch them in the midst of shenanigans when I appear unexpectedly.
Just got back from seeing "King of Kong" about a hard-fought competition in the arcade game world. It;'s a very good documentary--funny, informative and it not only presents this tiny, intense slice of the world to you, it makes you care about it.
