That’s two doors down. This is Abuse.

Only Graham Chapman and Terry Jones have passed. We still have Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam. Pretty sure Gilliam’s career is dead though

There it is.

Once is fine, but watch them try to run “Break Heidi” into the ground now.

I spend a lot of time evaluating new documentaries for festival consideration, and the trickiest call to make is always whether an interesting or important subject is enough to recommend a film when the actual filmmaking is subpar or biased.

Once upon a time it was “automation will free us from the need to work, and allow us to improve ourselves with noble pursuits.”

Definitely first heard of Proust via Monty Python. Peanuts referenced Citizen Kane several times. Classic Star Trek quoted Shakespeare frequently. And I’ve probably seen more Bergman spoofs than actual Bergman films.

I don’t even know how many classical subjects I’ve first encountered in popular-entertainment form. Would the modern WB turn down “What’s Opera, Doc?” because they think kids won’t get it without watching some 20 hours of Wagner?

Love Janney, never ever heard of this show before.

You’re right, I mixed myself up. In the story, Bailey is the agoraphobe, cowering under the naked sun and all.

Was looking for 30 Rock myself.

Also, it’s evolved into a remarkable Bay Area time capsule.

The Naked Sun would be a perfect choice right now, with its culture of telecommunicating agoraphobes. The central whodunnit would need to be reworked though, since it’s awfully obvious.

I’m guessing we never get a film of Stranger In a Strange Land until Scientology abandons Hollywood.

It was one of the last movies playing at my theatre before it shut down. You in Northern Cal?

Did anyone even see BELFAST?

Also, Into the West and Eat the Peach.

Spoiler I guess?

Banksy has been there already.

Are they still going to show Kidman sitting alone in an otherwise abandoned theatre, or have they finally realized that’s a look that doesn’t exactly scream “everyone’s coming back to the movies”?
