Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
the Mikado set at a 20s British seaside resort
Ouch. That... really doesn't work.
I would like to call for at least a 10-year ban on any Shakespeare production referencing Nazis and/or Fascists. Especially if it's an American or British production. Also "Taming of the Shrew" set in the Wild West, and "As You Like It" set in the 60s. Those have all been done to death.
No, Hec, I wasn't speaking about freaky "Crash" although I never finished watching it. I meant the one where Matt Dillon's cop gropes Thandie Newton's ass for no discernable reason because he is Such A Racist.(Although she does have a nice one, I must say)
Yeah, I didn't want to see that Crash. It looked too much like Grand Canyon in its white liberal rich Angeleno guilt trip o' doom.
Ouch. That... really doesn't work.
No, it didn't. Especially since none of the lyrics were changed.
Well, I wish I would have talked to you first, then. Though I suppose it helps to have a baseline for self-indulgent movie-making and it did make make me laugh in spots. It didn't mean to, but it did anyway.
An executioner in Brighton might be a good thing.
Movies I hated:
Short Cuts...Altman = genius, I'm down with that, but yesh, that movie inspired such an ire...which I suppose means it worked.
Crash...as stated above...After Hours (at the time I described it like slowly ripping adhesive tape off a open wound)...Interview with a Vampire (way to destroy all my teenage fantasies retroactively)...Fill in any of the Star Wars Reduxes (same reason)...anything by Solandz, Ferrara (except Crime Story) or LeBute.
Hours I wish I had back.
I love After Hours!
The two movies I walked out on were Clan of the Cave Bear, and Ocean's Twelve.
Hated Grand Canyon with a passion.
skeeved me like that children's book I'll Always Love You with the adult infantilism.
HATE THAT BOOK!!! Joe's mom gave it to him when I was pregnant with Emeline. Blech. CREEP- to the mutherfucking EEE.
