'Shindig'
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.
Let me look around and see (I was hoping it had been a disc rather than a tape that you guys were watching). So much stuff has come out on DVD it's hard to keep up. Also, I seem to remember Video Watchdog discussing some Fleischer stuff coming out, but that may have just been Popeye.
I will definitely take you up on that offer, if I hit a dead end otherwise.
Finally saw Avatar. The effects were good. But I'm pretty meh on the whole thing.
That film clip is probably the gayest non-gay thing I've ever seen, and I say that with all love. And slack-jawed admiration.
I realized, seeing the commercial for The A-Team movie tonight, that I am totally going to see it, simply because Bradley Cooper is in it.
There are worse reasons to see a movie.
The other day I made CJ wastch an episode of the A-Team on tv so that when we do go see the movie, he will have a clue. He seemed to enjoy it.
Chicago Magazine Names Top 40 Movies Filmed In Chicago (PHOTOS)
High Fidelity was #1.
It's a rich, textured movie that--like your favorite LP--only gets better with time. It defines Chicago as a city of doers, dreamers, and slackers--a real place for real lives.
I'm going to make my list before I click through but I'm not sure I can name 40.
I like that the list mentions Cooley High, a movie that isn't remembered much today but it really is a good film.
I've seen most of them...not that one, though. I'd blame my dad being from Joliet, but I'd bet a billion dollars we didn't watch "About Last Night" together. Phoenix has the most transplanted Chicagoans of any city, though.
