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.
Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (singing)
OMFG I love this movie. Saw it on the big screen a few years ago, which was wonderful. Have the DVD, need the soundtrack.
ita, I keep being tempted to watch Bronson, but I'm worried it'll traumatized me or worse, ruin TH for me. See also, Hesher.
I totally agree with everyone who didn't like Jules and Jim. Just kind of a "meh" movie for me.
But has anyone else seen Two English Girls? Truffaut made that in the 70s and it was also about a love triangle (based on a book written by the same guy who wrote Jules and Jim) and I LOVE this movie. It has one of the best endings ever. So much better than Jules and Jim, not sexist, etc.
I love almost all the New Wave film makers, though. Even if I don't care for every film - each director has at least a few really good ones in their catalog.
Jules and Jim was a fictionalized autobiography (the book, not the movie). The 90 year son of the maniac-pixie girlfriend in that book has written a French bestseller that is kind of a fiery manifesto for center-left politics. [link]
Don't remember if I initially got this link here or not.
You guys, you guys.
There is a movie coming out this year called Rubber.
I am not making this up.
The Jim Carrey "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" completely missed the point of the original story, didn't it?
Aside from being an awful movie.
Did someone make you watch it as punishment, Dana?
Giving my husband access to the Netflix queue has its ups and downs.
I'll say.
I just saw Wet Hot American Summer. What the fuck was that? The tonal rollercoaster kind of threw me, but when it got weird, it was hilarious. Best use of a can of mixed vegetables ever?
Oh, I didn't realize Susannah York had died last week.
