I scratched my head when in an article I think it was the New Yorker the writer praised the Frances Ha scene (homage?) and didn't bother to mention this one!

Modern Love is a fantastic song. If that's selling out, I don't wanna be pure.

Huh. I always thought Garbo in Quicksand meant the actress.

Oh god, please don't jinx them. ;)

I hate Love Actually, but I do find two or three bits worth watching, starring Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson and Laura Linney. Not very surprisingly, they're the only parts that tackle real pain in a movie mostly filled with romantic, feelgood stuffy stuff. But that's just my opinion, of course.
Also, Bill Nighy is

Just caught this one on dvd and loved it. I agree with the other commenters B does not do it justice imho. I really liked that aside from being incredibly funny, it also succeeded at being super creepy at times. That house with those four undead roomies felt so claustrophobic at times you could almost smell it.

Yes!

On very good years you will reach for your pillbox of A-minuses and go "Oh, darn. Sorry guys, better luck next year."

That would be so much more sarcastically funny if I was a woman…

Umh no, because I'm more or less of the same opinion.

Tideland is amazing. I'm guessing studio publicists didn't know how to sell a film so dark and disturbing.

Hello from the future. I'm rewatching S3 now and enjoying these comment threads very much.Watching the two slayers side by side today I thought Buffy is kinda like Superman, and Faith is like Batman. Batman is way cooler and flashier, but if you're in way deep trouble, like, end of the world trouble, it's Superman

I'm a big fan of Takashi Shimura. Mifune is great, of course, but when I first saw Seven Samurai I was all "who's that guy???" He was amazing at subdued roles.
I've never seen Playtime. I saw M. Hulot's Vacations in a theatre with a friend and we couldn't stop laughing. My friend loves me for talking her into going to

Bzzz Bzzz Bzzzzz!!!!

That's so true. In his published diary Charlton Heston talks about the sets of 55 Days at Peking and comments what great wonders Welles could have made with them. That scene in Ed Wood was mean-spirited.

Great choice, great choice.

Yeah, that's an obsession to many film directors, to make their first film before that age. Naturally, they all assume theirs will be better…

Yay! That's a great depiction of the process. I think it works very well…

That is a fantastic series. I got it as a present earlier this year. Ian McKellen is great in it too. And I love when they make the Henry V scene and Patrick Stewart plays a soldier who is instantly convinced by Harry's rhetoric. He's like "yeah, okay, let's go!" "Wait, there's still five more minutes of speech" …

Hah! I like Keaton's Dogberry too! His riding without a horse always kills me, I'm that easy to please. I do prefer Joss Whedon's movie though. On the other hand, I really like Branagh's Henry V. It's still my favourite film of his.
