Cordelia ,'Lessons'
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.
That's a great one, Laga! So funny.
There are many things about that original script that would have been cool, but other things would...not have been. I can see some of the flaws in the finished product as illuminated in the comparisons, but...I still thought it was a good movie.
Speaking of trailers, the other day I watched two trailers that have me very interested. Scroll down to 21/05/09 for Surrogates and Gamer.
The latter, starring Gerard Butler and Michael C Hall, looks pretty good, albeit as a kind of bastard child of Harsh Realm and Running Man.
However, the former is the one that really interests me.
I'm wondering how Surrogates will score on the Bruce Willis Toupeé Index - generally speaking, the closer the movie comes to showing his natural hairline, the better it is.
After I saw the latter I watched every other Shirley MacLaine movie I could get my hands on. The Trouble With Charlie is one of my favorites.
Pssst, Harry.
I have a special fondness for that film since it's one of the few filmed in the Northeast Kingdom of VT, where I spent my summers growing up.
Pssst, Harry.
I thought that looked wrong. It's the funny Hitchcock!
It's not the only one!
The Lady Vanishes, Mr & Mrs. Smith, Family Plot...
Pssst, Harry.
Oops. Drunk posting last night. Appy polly logies.
The Lady Vanishes, Mr & Mrs. Smith, Family Plot...
Hell, North by Northwest has some of the funniest scenes that Hitchcock or Cary Grant put on film.
And Charade is the funniest Hitchcock movie not made by Hitchcock.
(And it was remade as The Truth About Charlie, which is likely where Laga got that name.)
This thread is eating its own tail!!!
