Wait, so what now?

Three threads have been made.

I don't foresee them getting 20 posts.

Combined.

I feel like you could B.S. two paragraphs on Aliens right now if you really wanted to. Go on. Do it.

It doesn't work like that for me. And I would want to do this right, not half-assed.

Just about to start Snake Eyes. K has never seen it. I predict she will "eh" it. I hope I am proven wrong.

It's been a while since we had one of these late night defacing Match-cut sprees B. The mods are going to wake up and not know what hit them. I'm off now to toilet paper the off topic thread. Muahaahaha!!!

Might I suggest a "Review Films Directed by Royalty" Thread for reviews of films directed by the former King of Cambodia?

Hooray, she liked it! Though she did say it was ridiculous. Justifiable. I'm thinking Raising Cain next, even though she doesn't really take to horror.

My theater's running a special presentation of Buckaroo Banzai tomorrow.

I get to meet John Lithgow and Peter Weller.

I'm so excited I might wee a little.

I've already wrote a novel about this, I feel like a thread would be overkill.

Peter Weller is still alive? *mind blown*

Monsieur Hire - Further evidence that the French are all a bunch of wankers.

So, the screening was pretty awesome. Lithgow had to opt out for some kind of family thing, but Weller was there, and - man, he just seemed like he was in a rush to get out of there and away from the crowd of mouth breathers as fast as he could. He seemed pretty uncomfortable, to the point that it was funny to watch. Still, casual guy.

Even more interesting was who I ended up sitting directly in front of - I look behind me, and oh my god, it's Elvis Mitchell. After the screening we chatted for a bit in the lobby and I told him how listening to his podcast had kind of directly led to me writing about movies in the way that I do. Very, very cool guy. None of my coworkers knew who he was though, which was disappointing.

Then Robert Wilonsky bummed a smoke off of me in Starbucks, and I realized I needed to get back into writing proper again because this felt awesome.

Today, I will be watching my first movie in over two months. Don't call it a comeback.

Do they still run a cartoon and a news reel before the feature presentation?

I think we should do another collective thread; one where a bunch of us participate. One idea would be where we each pick a letter and review a film that begins with that letter. Might be difficult to get 26 participants, though. Maybe a few of us could pick multiple letters?

I'm down.

**MadMan** · 11-20-2011, 02:22 AM

If I met Peter Weller, I'd be that guy who would tell him that he was awesome in 24 instead of Robocop.

**Dead & Messed Up** · 11-20-2011, 04:13 AM

Powell and Pressburger's A Matter of Life and Death is amazing. Oh my Lord, what a beautiful, sweet and optimistic movie. Just...so much awesome. It's all about romance, sure, but it's also so much about those lost to World War II. "I love you June! You're life, and I'm leaving it." The visions of Heaven are stunning. The technicolor is gorgeous. The characters are effortlessly lovable. The trial at the end finds reconciliation between nations and people with such grace and ease.

Jesus, that's gotta be the best movie I've seen all year.

I'd like to see this one again since it has been a long, long time. Speaking of P&P, I noticed that Netflix has A Canterbury Tale, the main blind spot from them I have really wanted to see.

Watched Salo for the first time with my roommates last night, which I'm glad I did as our constant joke-cracking eased the tension quite a bit. Afterwards though I wanted to curl into a ball and cry, as it wasn't necessarily any of the torture scenes themselves but just the film's depiction of evil that truly got under my skin.

Also, I was glad I got a little more background on Pasolini from the doc on the Blu-Ray, even though it was hosted by the humongous chode Mark Kermode.

**EyesWideOpen** · 11-20-2011, 05:42 PM

The Wiz was just as bad as I was led to believe. They really screwed up having Diana Ross as Dorothy. Completely unbelievable for the role and while she has a great voice her acting is horrendous.

At least my opinions on other things have a chance of being worth a damn...
