I thought it was liberal white guilt?

I'd think they would do that with makeup.

Damn, two of my favorite 30 for 30's are going.

I remember when Foxx said he was producing a reality show with Rick James on Conan one day, and the next day it was reported James had died.

I'll agree that movies aren't doomed if film becomes extinct, but as I said above it's good that there's at least an option. To some filmmakers the medium is more like a musical instrument is to a musician than the more practical use tin types or wax cylinders provided. Which is why you have guys like Spielberg saying

I wouldn't be surprised if it has some kind of revival in the film business like vinyl is having now. If not soon, maybe a generation or two from now.

Exactly.

It'll probably come to that. Hopefully it would be run and maintained like a good business, not like Apple Records.

I think there should at least be a choice. And that there are such big names championing the older choice is very good in my eyes.

Very excited for this of course, but it will stand long and hard in the shadow of Gravity for me. But maybe Nolan knows this. This is going to be in IMAX, right?

I fully support the notion of Criterion putting out Major League.

I hear you there. This should get the kind of flack something like American Beauty does.

I got the big box version of it for 50 bucks and change on Amazon. I guess several copies of it were slightly damaged and found their way on 2nd-hand stores.

It serves Ridley well to do off the wall or bizarre stuff, then just be stuck doing the kind of epic film-making he's more known for lately. Matchstick Men is the best example of this.

I thought she was great too, but I would disagree about Bardem. I thought he was really funny in a few of his scenes, including the Ferrari scene. I actually think it's much more muted in comparison to something like Man on Fire or Domino, but it's certainly the first of Ridley's work that made me wonder where Tony

The Counselor. Watched the extended cut the other day. I liked it, though not surprised at the mixed reaction. It sounded more like something Ridley Scott's late brother should have been doing, so it was doubly fitting that it was dedicated to him. Watching it there were a few times I wondered what kind of wonderful

The IMDB rating is pretty low too. I don't read a whole lot of reviews so I was a little shocked at both that and seeing that Comcast only gave it one star. At his worst, stuff of Ridley's will usually get two stars at the least. That said, this and a few other sites gave it stronger reviews. I liked it.

Interestingly enough they filmed nearly all the Tex-Mex stuff in Spain. I'm watching the features on the Blu-ray and Scott and some members of his crew said this was done for tax reasons. What's interesting to me is that this is what Sergio Leone did for his Westerns, because although the terrain looks very similar

Every great film composer has at least one crappy movie on their resume.
