    It's the kitchen cabinets, man.

    Look, there's plenty of juicy stuff in there, and Who fans will be able to separate the gold from the dross, but if you want proof of how poorly this thing is organized, see how many reviewers think that Chris Stamp is still alive.

    Just couldn't find a way to work it in that wasn't distracting. I've seen both versions (Ferrara's cut twice) and they're not that different, at least not past the point where the maid walks into Deveraux's room. Almost all of the cuts are to the first 30 mins.

    Actually, it's named after a character in Jules Verne's Michel Strogoff!

    Not uncommon. A lot of the time you'll sit down with the interviewee and introduce yourself and chitchat in English, and then, when it's time to actually record, the interpreter will come in. When people are talking about their work, they need to be comfortable.

    Actually, he did. And he was Ennio Morricone's interpreter when Morricone got an Honorary Oscar.

    Irony is, this movie is actually pretty violent.

    Still getting made. La Sapienza (also released & reviewed this week) has a graceful religious theme running through it.

    Totally right. Thanks for catching it.

    Hey, bullfights have been banned in Catalonia since 2011, but the movie still ends with one.

    "….also, I looked it up on IMDb, and they are not making a sequel to Dan in Real Life."

    They did. It was supposed to be written and directed by Joe Carnahan, who made The Grey. It fell through during pre-production.

    To be fair, Action Neeson mostly kills people with his bare hands. The gun is the just the thing he points at people while talking.

    But it's shot by Maysles. And Leacock. All those guys worked together.

    1. Since… always? Megan is just the most common spelling of a Welsh nickname (short for Margaret) that became a given name relatively recently.

    This isn't school. B is a solid did-all-the-work movie, B+ is something exceptional, and A- is something that's going to land in your Top 10. A is reserved for all-time-favorite stuff; I gave out exactly two last year.

    There's that famous YT video that with starts Louis CK going off during a radio appearance about how no one who asks questions from the audience on Inside The Actors Studio is ever going to be famous. The specific example he uses for the bit is Sean Penn, and, once it's over, the video cuts straight into Penn's 1999 In

    Except that he's paired up with Jennifer Anniston in that movie.

    It's available on DVD in Europe, but has never been released on home video in the US. (Long story short: Schulberg and Ray fought, leading Schulberg, who was producing the movie through his own independent outfit, to fire Ray and take over directing duties; Schulberg's estate owns the US rights.)
