River ,'War Stories'
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 just picked up Jaws for $5 at Walmart! I love to watch it once a summer. And you're right, that story Quint tells is fantastic.
I have an unreasonable fondness for The Cell, even though it's not a very good movie. It's so visually rich and fucked up, though.
Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And it went straight to my head
After Jaws was first shown on tv around 1978, the next day everyone at my junior high was singing that song.
Ha. Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Inception is named Cobb, like the guy in Following. Nolan must like that name.
Last night, I also finally watched In Bruges, thanks to the magic of Netflix. It was very McDonagh-y. Good stuff.
What the heck is Inception about? The trailer is confusing.
Here's the synopsis on the IMdB page, which is no more spoilery, imo, than book jacket copy.
It looks good, actually.
I'm also interested in The Adjustment Bureau, I think it's called.
It's about the world in your dreams. DiCaprio et al do business in it...he's a thief. And then...it all goes wrong. Or different. You know...game changer (thank you, Chuck, for ruining that phrase for me forever).
ooh, that does sound good.
So, Georgy Girl was just, odd. The Paramount, as always, was awesome, if uncomfortable.
Inception sounds like Dreamscape without the snakeboy .
