I saw the new animated film from the guy who did Triplets of Belleville last night, based on an unproduced script by Jacques Tati. (The Illusionist)
Every part of it is beautifully done, and for one of the more depressing films I've ever seen, it also has a wonderful lightness about it.
The other really fun part was that DH and I had the Sony screening room completely to ourselves, which has never happened before. (The projectionist even waited to start so I could run to the restroom one last time.) It's a shame more people didn't RSVP to this screening, but DH and I took advantage by stretching out on the big sofa in the back and pretending it was our living room.
Huh. Bud Cort shops at my Trader Joe's.
Cool! Odd celebrity sightings are definitely part of the fun of living in LA.
It's always the odd ones and the character actors that make me happiest.
Oh man. I really think I might flip out like a mammal if I saw Bud Cort in the grocery store. So cool!
He's instantly recognizable if, like us, you know who he is. Otherwise, he'd be indistinguishable from anyone else in the store. But the instant he passed into my field of vision, I was like "OMG, that's Bud Cort!"
Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit starting in February? I don't know why this should be more believable than anything else we've heard.
Part of me will always be disappointed I can't cradlesnatch Bud Cort.
Anybody seen Brain Dead? That would be the US-ian film of that title rather than Peter Jackson's which was renamed Dead Alive over here.
Besides Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton, Bud Cort had a HILARIOUS role. It's definitely not a masterpiece, but it's a fun and funny mindfuck movie nonetheless.
Okay, here is an obscure muppets quiz. Post your scores. I'm ascared I'm going to get zero.
