River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
I do love me some RR. His body...of work!...is quite entertaining
M DVR'd The Proposal for me, since he knows of my epic RR/Sandra Bullock/Betty White plus bonus Alaska. He apparently did not know about the Canadian (from Toronto!)/Alaskan plotline. The movie is meh, but cute. Minus the ridiculous "I'm in the boonies!" gags, of course.
Tango and Cash is a favorite for totally different reasons. Jennifer's Body is just deeply awesome and such a totally female story.
Diablo Cody, I'm not so crushed on, but this particular movie (after the first 1/3rd -- pacing needed some work there) is excellent.
The Secretariat trailer brought tears to my eyes.
I have the feeling that I could go to lunch with Diablo and we'd have a fine chat, undeterred by the fact that nobody at the table would know what the fuck we were talking about.
why are you lunching with the devil?
why are you lunching with the devil?
The Devil only invites the really evil people to dinner?
OMG, Fri., Sat. & Mon. the Brattle theater is showing that film House that was discussed months back. The one with the carnivorous piano. I may have to catch that.
I kind of get having a pen name in a way, though I won't, because it defeats my secondary goal of telling my high school guidance counselor to suck it, but "Diablo Cody" *is* a bit Much. I mean, I just couldn't imagine having my little meetings over lunch with Ari and them and being "Hi, I'm Diablo." I mean, it probably helps that she's not from L.A. and maybe less likely to run into someone from high school who knows her as Karen or whatever name her parents gave her, but still.
So this probably won't be playing anywhere most of you can see it, but there is a Paul Gross movie coming out this Friday in Canada, called Gunless.
It's a comedy western, with Paul Gross as an American outlaw ending up in a small Canadian town, and being confounded by politeness when trying to get into a gun fight. I also spotted CKR in the trailer.
I thought it worth mentioning here because, Paul Gross arms! Which, according to one scene in the trailer, look very fine indeed.
I have a friend who got to go to the premiere of that last night!
