Man, the BooBooBack has morphed itself into my brain as a new song parody.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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 want to watch this with commentary.
From Nolan? Or just in general? I'd love to hear Nolan's thoughts but he seems reluctant to do commentaries.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In general. It's a movie that generates good discussions, so I think almost anyone involved in its production would have some interesting things to say.

yes, I heard he doesn't do commentaries, but I had heard he didn't like them at all.
do his previous movies have any commentaries?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Aww Pretty Maids... is not available on Netflix.
re: Heath Ledger. I can watch Knight's Tale and I would like to see Dark Knight again but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to rewatch Brokeback and I felt close to tears a couple times during Doctor Parnassus but damn is that a great movie! Did we already talk about what a fantastic film Doctor Parnassus is? I thought I remembered the critics being disappointed. I have always been a fan of Gilliam. I even enjoyed Jabberwocky.

Really? Chris Gore mentioned commentary on Following, and I thought Memento had commentary. Did he stop doing them?

I liked Parnassus a lot...mostly because I have an unhealthy love for Gilliam, but I recall the public discourse being pretty negative.

Parnassus was typically confusing/enthralling/heartbreaking--ie, standard Gilliam. The idea of story as the power of the universe delighted me.
And they dealt with the loss of Ledger in all those scenes very well, because the character had so many faces that he presented that it made perfect sense that he would be different people in the other universe.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I missed Parnassus in the theater, dammit, due to dating the hermit. Must rent. I hae the audio for Heath Ledger singing Can't Take My Eyes Off of You on my iPod, and I get so sad when it comes up. Don't know when I'll feel up to watching Brokeback again.

I was just about to put out a request for the hivemind while doing my homework for my Reference class tonight. I had to pull together a bunch of sources for teaching a little class to teenagers on HUAC and the Hollywood Blacklist, and I was having a serious brain freeze on the name of the film about the performance of a 1930s musical which was banned due to the Red Scare and which was performed from the audience by the cast members due to union issues. Then I hit the right combination of search terms and figured out it was The Cradle Will Rock, which I still haven't seen but really want to.
