'Jaynestown'
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.
I don't think I could ever live at Bag End. Cozy and charming, yes, but the name would forever give me the nagging feeling that I was living in a scrotum.
Well, if you live in a cul de sac, you live in Bag End already! (Cul de sac = end of bag. Tolkien loved his little puns.)
Only Calli wanted to live in Lothlorien? I always preferred it to Rivendell.
When I look at the movies on my shelf, precious few of them take place in locations you'd want to live in.
If it's down to specific homes, the house in Spy Kids will always rank up there, off the top of my head.
Meep! According to IMDB, Baz is attached to direct the film adaptation of Wicked should it ever get past the "in development" stage.
Oh, that would be awesome!
...I would like that.
Jessica! Have you heard about Cleo??
Steven Soderbergh's musical about the life of Cleopatra that will supposedly star Catherine Zeta-Jones, Hugh Jackman, and the songs of Guided By Voices. (Also it's in 3-D.)
(Read the entire post, it's awesome.)
Idolator even name-checks The Apple! LOVE.
Viva Las Vegas meets Tommy? In 3-D? Why not just cut to the chase and remake The Apple?
ZOMG. WANT.
ZOMG. WANT.
I know, right? That looks like the kind of hot mess that is AWESOME.
Thirty years on (OMG, it really can't be, but it is) and Otis Day and the Knights still doesn't get old.
And the mother of all toga parties.
