Sounds like I might like it. Of course I was happily bouncing from the concert footage to the sex scenes of 9 Songs when most reviewers I heard from bemoaned both.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, yeah, I loved the actual music, but the story was intense and I didn't want so many breaks from it. Some parts of the extended musical sequences, like the first concert and the dances during the reception felt like they should have been on the DVD extras. Did we really need to see Demme's son playing the Wedding March on his electric guitar TWICE?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Some of us like them because we didn't grow up in a Neighborhood, you know what I mean?(And, hey, I'm Irish and tormented...maybe only 1/8 worth, but I'm counting it.) People in Arizona have neighbors, in the literal sense, but not a Neighborhood. My whole "Smile, Hon," essay is all about that.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So there haven't been fifty bajillion cop movies about angst, conflict, no-good jammer-upper family members/partners, girls that leave them because of the job, blah blah, that involved white men, black men, and hispanics?
Oh, I forgot, was Mark Wahlberg supposed to be an Irishman in The Corruptor?
My bad, it was Chow Yun O'Fat

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
What, no Denis Leary?

Wrod. Except for Denis Leary, there has to be Adventurous Naked Chick and Comic Relief Retarded Guy. (Denis, I tease because I love. But, dude, you know it's true.) Juliebird, in the black cop movies, I've noticed a bit more pull toward the streets.Your black cop movie may vary. Of course, David Simon says cop culture is so Irish even black cops are honorary sons of Erin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd recommend watching this as preparation for Quantum of Solace.

“Not dead yet!”
I still think the David Tennant one is my favorite, but that one's got its own sick, twisted charm.

Not much is funnier than that Tennant/Tate clip.
