This is the sort of movie that should be projected silently on the wall while pretentious women with gloves smoke cigarettes in holders and drink from frosty martini glasses.

Atari will make a comeback. Their logo was in the future documentary "Blade Runner".

Doesn't drink? The pub crawl in "The World's End" was all a lie?

It's Victor Garber, who's pretty good in anything he does.

After Rosie's breast feeding scene, I was hoping that Petyr Baelish would arrive to push her through the moondoor.

Yeah, but they eat Vegemite.

That's interesting - I kinda liked the book… The movie was critically trashed at the time (although I think it picked up some retroactive cred), so I'm guessing it isn't for all tastes.

Not a concert, but a movie…

If Scientology was really that effective, wouldn't Tom Cruise be taller?

I thought that Kilgore Trout was loosely based on Theodore Sturgeon (note the similarity in names). Because Sturgeon would sell to anyone who would print him. Playboy loved his work, which may be the reason that Vonnegut had Trout selling his work to pornographic magazines.

It gets addressed a bit in this review:

"Before the ship sunk, the greatest misfortune reported was a case of the measles."

There certainly was a difference, but as the book developed I started to see what Larson was getting at. I have to admit that I started the book because I already knew of Holmes. And there was a little bit of "The Silence of the Lambs" thrill at the beginning. Here was a man who was extraordinarily resourceful in…

Is life worth living?

Julie Andrews was pretty good in Victor/Victoria, but the one who deserved the award there was Robert Preston. Their interaction was the core of the film. And I don't get the Blake Edwards love - has he ever made a good film? Take Peter Sellers out of the Pink Panther movie and the rest is as dry as dust, David…

The Beatles "Yesterday and Today". Not the Butcher cover, alas, though I checked to be sure leaving one corner permanently turned up.

I loved Marisha Pessl's "…Calamity Physics." It starts slow, but give it a chance - it will go places you didn't anticipate. So I thought that I would give her "Night Film" a chance, given the good reviews. I did like it, and appreciated her linking to external content a la Egan's "Goon Squad". But someone who had…

No hate for Sabotage? Or did that go straight to Netflix streaming?

He didn't direct, to be sure, but it is clear that the magician portrays Tati's physical comedy, is named Tatischeff (Tati's real name), and the script was probably written as a gesture to his estranged daughter. And add to that a wonderful little Easter egg (a cut of one of Tati's films at the end when he goes into…

It really is two movies, isn't it?
