The path from "I'm dressing up nice for you" to "I look like such a slob that you're throwing out my old clothes" is not as long as you think, single guy at the start of the thread!

I guess it could be a negative. There were enough flourishes from the stage that reminded me that it was a filmed play.  I'm guessing that was their intent; most movies don't have those shots of people silently milling around before and after the play, and that's pretty common on stage.

That castration joke was great, if only for the Human Centipede images it created in my brain.

Friday: Watched Ghost Dog.  I knew RZA did the soundtrack, but I was surprised how much hip hop was in this movie. Also, when the mob boss was throwing out MC names, they were all legit names, instead of pretend phony names to make fun of MC names, to respect that.  Pretty good, very unique, but the mob characters…

That was my first Chaplin, too.  Love love love the scene where he's eating a cocaine sandwich, and goes in for more bites.  Do Gold Rush next, and make sure you get the 20's version with no annoying Chaplin voiceover.  I picked up the Criterion Blu Ray last fall and there are some annoying sound effects they added…

After watching "Aguirre", my enthusiasm for "Apocalypse Now" waned somewhat. Then I watched "Hearts of Darkness" and it dropped even more. 

Also watched Deep Blue Sea last week, and it seemed very obviously a filmed version of a play, with the background characters walking around at the beginning and end, and during the subway flashback.  I was often thinking "This would be pretty powerful to see live" during some of those emotional scenes.

One thing I loved about "Loneliest Planet" was the English of the Georgian tour guide.  I hate it when people speak perfect English in other countries with a slight accent to remind you they are "foreign", when learning another language is often much more difficult.  He reminded me of the little girl in "The Fall",…

Watching LoA on the big screen last November (even being the 10th+ time I have seen it) was worth it, just for those two money shots of people emerging from the sand.  So amazing. 

Loved Night of the Hunter.  Usually I'm only interested in something to do with Charles Laughton if he's hamming it up, but this was great.  I watched an old pan-and-scan DVD so I might pick up the Criterion Blu Ray at the Barnes and Noble sale this summer to see it in its shimmering glory.  Plus, it has a making-of…

I'm not sure where it ranks among real Moz fans, but "Fatty" is my favorite Morrissey song, and to hear he's playing live with several Smiths songs is making me want to see him next time he comes around, if his mum would just stay well.

Ah yes, the old feeling of "I'm the best when I'm with that person".  I know someone matching my appearance used to feel like that, but this weekend, my wife threw out a pair of underwear that I had refused to give up, on the grounds that it was just too holey and ratty. 

That was one of those scenes that lived up to all the hype.  I had seen it referenced in pop culture forever, but when I saw the actual scene, it was still a showstopper.

At the end of the summer, NPR did a review of their favorite films of the summer.  Guess which film both reviewers chose? You only get one guess.  After that interview, I was thinking, "This must be really great!"

No me gusta ser pobre!

Wow.  That is a ringing endorsement, considering I love Wall-E so much.  

It's because the Scientologists have invaded Hollywood and don't want slander about their Xenu! It's so obvious!

Argo's setup was more interesting than the payoff.  It's like a Steven King novel that has a great idea but a terrible conclusion.  The narrow-escape-after-narrow-escape end run was tiresome.  Maybe the ending couldn't have been done different, I don't know, but after the third or fourth narrow escape (I lost count) I…

I was on my way to see this in the theaters two times, and failed both times.  1. Got pulled over for burnt-out taillight and ticketed with a warning (?).  2. Wife puked on the way.  I started thinking I was tempting the gods to defy them and still see it in the theater, so I waited and watched it at home.  But it was…

Maybe Sherlock did die, and Molly reanimated one of her old corpses and put Sherlock's brain in that one.
