Awww, RIP. I'll have to pull out my dvd of Victor/Victoria. That movie has also has one of their sons playing a chorus boy watching Victor rehearsing.

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.

Kathy - if you have Netflix, look for the stage version of Victor/Victoria. I know it used to be on instant view. It still has Julie Andrews in it and she does the introduction at the beginning and also talks during the intermission. Both of these are to the recorded viewing audience, not from on stage. I really enjoyed it.

And both films sort of lost from memory.
The Dead was on the Leaving Cert (Irish GCSE's, sort of) English curriculum when I was in school, and might still be. So at least there's bunches of Irish teenagers watching it...

That's a good idea. She is amazing to meet in real life, too. I love the commentary on the movie's dvd, because it has both her and Blake speaking.

I saw The Dead earlier this year. Lovely adaptation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear.
From io9, Tron Legacy is a colossal failure of movie-making
Back in 1982, Tron zapped us into a whole new world of storytelling. You can still feel the love, and excitement, on every frame of that movie. So it's sad that Tron Legacy turns those thrills into snoozes. Spoilers ahead.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm seeing it tonight in IMAX 3D, so it should at least be a good spectacle.
Besides, here's a counterpoint:

It's pretty much guaranteed to disappoint, right? I know some were, but I couldn't pry my eyes off the screen for the entire running time of the movie, and of all the emotions I experienced in the theater, disappointment definitely wasn't one of them.

As I expected, I fell more on the Zach Oat side than the Charlie Jane side (colossal failure of movie-making, really?). It's a fun adventure story with some cool thematic elements, and even though very little about the Grid makes sense, I didn't really expect it to. I expected lots of awesome setpieces, and I got them, CRAZY BIG and in 3D!
