I take it the movie isn't based on the Broadway show.
I don't think the 2008 version is a musical.
The Broadway show is based on the documentary. At least the second act is. The first act is more made-up.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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. New board.
Also, that Cloverfield thing looks kind of... awesome. Is the whole thing filmed in that personal camera format?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's the impression I've gotten, Gris.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
two trailers just arrived packaged together so that it looked like we got one trailer for a movie called Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Aw. They filmed at least some of that back home. I couldn't recognize anything from the pictures though.
Mr. Jane and I think it should have been "Harold and Kumar Go to Murrell's" though. Probably only funny to anyone who knows what the hell Murrell's is.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the Slings and Arrows thread, right? I loved it.
What is this "S1 is the weakest season" business? Crazytalk.
Did you watch the deleted scenes? When Jack "speaks the speech" it's great.
I really loved Grey Gardens. Little Edie wasn't really mentally ill. She left there eventually after her mother's death and moved down to South Florida where she lived the rest of her life. She was very eccentric but I didn't feel like I was watching anything crazier than massive denial.

Well come by our house for xmas cheer and we'll pop them in.
GC, usually I'm totally in agreement with your GF's movie taste too. But I'm with bon on this. Of course, I could be blinded by my Sunset Boulevard love.
