I would swear I saw a live action B&W Dumbo on late night TV one night. Maybe it was the pain meds back when I was not sleeping. Wikipedia offers no joy.

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.

Terry Gross' interview was how I discovered JMcH is in it. You'd certainly never know it from any of the trailers.

So, is the thought that Snowpiercer will start playing in more and more theatres as times goes on, or is this now the window to see it before it disappears and I have to wait for a DVD?
It looks like it will be on more screens in this area come Friday, though still an hour away from me at the closest. it'll also be available On Demand on Friday.

Matt,
re: your white font.
VALID. But guess what, the story is unrelenting. So even if you get thrown out, you won't stay out long.

Caught White House Down on premium cable last night (ok, TiVo'd) and was much more entertained than I expected. It was exactly like "The Emmeriches turn 'West Wing' into an action adventure movie." Complete with things blowing up lots of time.
About the only thing missing was a Presidential Dog leaping to safety at the last minute.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It was definitely enjoyable. I'm told it was much better than the other terrorists-attack-the-White-House movie last summer.
I was mostly able to turn my brain off and enjoy the spectacle, though I do think it was absolutely ridiculous that the bad guys were allowed to play whack-a-mole with the Presidential limo in plain sight while the military stood around gawking. The air between the roof and the perimeter fence should have been so full of covering fire that the antitank weapons would have bounced off it if anyone were left alive to fire them.

I saw Begin Again last night. Rather like Once, it's a pleasant and low-key movie about people and music. It's also a bit of a love-letter to New York City. Mark Ruffalo is endearingly scruffy as a down-and-out A&R guy, Hailee Steinfeld plays his daughter and Catherine Keener his estranged wife, and Keira Knightley is her Kiera Knightley-est as a singer-songwriter on the outs with her rising-star boyfriend.
I liked the music, and the relationships, and it's just a nice little flick. Recommended.

I just saw Snowpiercer, and I think I'm in love. (I haven't read anyone else's comments on it, because I knew I'd be seeing it, but now I want to sit in a bar and TALK about it. Damn.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We saw it too. It was entertainingly weird. I've seen reactions from people who loved it, people who said it made them thoughtful, and people who thought it was a clusterfuck.
