Totally. And isn’t it sad that the American distributor trimmed that scene for it’s first theatrical release? A real disgrace.

can’t remember who, but theres a European director who once complained that love scenes kill the story because they don’t tell us anything more about the characters and only tell us something that we’ll assume anyway. “Gary Meets Celeste” is a perfect example on how to do it right: keeps the story moving; reveals…

there’s two in the love scene that are.... dayam...

Something abut the proximity of the words “rape-revenge”, “genre” and “heyday” in that opening sentence makes me a bit queasy...

the match cut in Lawrence, for sure, but the freeze frames in Out of Sight for the win.

there’s a lot of things to criticize Lawrence for but “white savior complex” isn’t one of them. The American reporter certainly sees him as that, but that’s not how the movie sees him.

Pam... Pam.... PAM!

see my comment above- it’s the other plot in the Seinfeld episode.

the Seinfeld episode with the Cyrano story also has the story about George leaving a tape-recorder in his briefcase in meetings to see if anyone was talking about him. Jerry (Seinfeld) says that Jerry Lewis used to do it.

but Red Rose tea is horrible. You’d probably get more flavour by dunking one of those figurines in hot water.

I’m seeing Quark from Deep Space 9.

always wondered if that Jerry Lewis story was for real. I mean, it sounds exactly like the sort of dickish move that Jerry would pull, but this is the only place I’ve ever heard of it.

and Herb Trimpe got a- I’m doing this wrong, aren’t I?

Hard to believe this is just 4 years before he made 2001 - it’s looks like it’s from another century. (which it’s supposed to be, but you know what I mean...)

should have given him a special Oscar for gum-chewing.

I’m waiting for next year and the inevitable double-bill with part 2.

c’mon, man - those Disney exec’s kids need shoes. Do your bit.
