That pawing thing for attention is not adorable. It's irritating. "I'm trying to read the paper, dog!" or "… eat a sandwich." And I'll bet then she does that 'adorable' thing where she begs for my food. "It's got vegemite. You'll hate it."

Judy Greer. Oh my. I'd like to, you know. Really. She's, uhm, a bit of. . . know what I'm meaning? You know what I mean. Who's with me on this? You with me? Yeah… of yeah… Oops!

Isn't that just like a hawk' to have her land on the tarmac.

I don't argue a bit on that, but it was a theatre convention going back two thousand years. And what I'm saying is that it was Capra, not Welles, that introduced it to the movies, in 1931 in The Miracle Woman (according to notes I keep, so…) At that time Welles was running around Europe bull fighting or something. He…

Frank Capra was the first to use overlapping dialogue. Orson Welles was the first to use overlapping dialogue in transitional scenes: the middle part of Kane where they argue over the breakfast table for a decade.

As usual I've arrived too late. My wife gets upset when her man hessetates.

I walked away after half hour. I found something more entertaining to do, cleaning out the fish tanks, I think.

Yes, I'll be in it. Are you going to put "money" in my "pocket"?

Always Be Commenting!

And give him a little biker's mole on pillion, like a little mouse in a tutu or something.

It's the only film of Luhrmann's that I like, and I like it a lot.
Pacino's film Looking for Richard, about the staging of Richard III, is terrific: part documentary, and part play.
I've got soft spot for Zeffirelli's Hamlet, mostly because Gibson's nervous chattering fits so well, but like a lot of Shakespeare…

Yeah mate. 19th of November. We're the dog's bollocks.

MAKE IT SOre.

I prefer darke's.

And he walks like John Wayne. That is, Nathan Lane's impression of John Wayne.

I've arrived too late for this to be meaningful (or even read), but I love the collection of actresses on my birthday: Jodie Foster, Kathleen Quinlan, Meg Ryan, Allison Janney, Terry Farrell, Sandrine Holt, Collette Mann and Gene Tierney, as well as old actors Erskine Sanford, Dan Haggerty, Tom Virtue, Robert Beltran…

I sense a justification for defending this film is based on it being no worse than any other blockbuster. That's hardly an endorsement. I do want blockbusters to make money but, in so doing, I want them to fund the movies I'd like to see. But if all we get is more blockbusters then I don't see how this a good thing.…

I'll add Russell Mulcahy. From Elton John, Duran Duran and Ultravox to Razorback (yeah!) and Highlander.

Much. Comparing the TV Sherlock with Downey's movie Sherlock is a bit like comparing The West Wing with White House Down.

Arsenal? Well, you're half right.
