When She Was Good and Nemesis are two of the ones I'm still to read (with Our Gang the last one).
I must admit these concerns never really entered my readings of his books, I was always more interested in their treatment of the relationship between fiction and perceived autobiography (which is why my favourite stretch…

Finally finished Inherent Vice which I read after having seen the movie. That was probably the best way to go about it, had I been reading it as a Pynchon book I might have been a bit disappointed (as I was by Bleeding Edge), but this was fun and light and I still enjoyed the trip, even if it wasn't as wild a ride as…

Now even more curious about Roth Pierpont's book, I picked it up a while ago but haven't read it yet. I love Roth, though it's been a while since I've read his stuff (I still have three to go before I've read everything).

Will I ever accomplish anything?

It's about the one surprising thing in She's All That, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character is a jock who is also near the top of the class. If that movie treats a silly cliche for what it is you know it should have died a long time ago.

It depends how you mean that, historically the concern for a teenage audience is relatively recent.
You can argue that the treatments were somewhat simplistic, but any movie that wasn't aimed at kids up until the sixties was assuming an adult audience (if only because there wasn't really such a thing as teenagers…

Thank you for the info and the offer, I'll try to have a look at that book (hopefully it's in the BFI's library) hopefully that will tell me all I want to know.

He went method voicing Burns most likely.

If you have a region free player, MR Bongo, the UK publisher is usually good.

I'm sure it was really powerful at the time, even 35 years later and living somewhere which in spite of what Fox News will tell you has never known socialism, you could still feel the urgency.
I saw it as part of the Martin Scorsese Presents Masterpieces of Polish Cinema season which is in London these days. I…

I'd be curious to know what the official reaction to the win was in Poland or the USSR, as it's pretty clear the movie won for its political content. I saw it a few weeks ago, it was ok, but I suspect that as years go by it will become more and more insignificant.
And interestingly, at the time Walesa apparently…

I'm fairly confident it would have been the original version of Heaven's Gate screened. If anything Cannes gets cuts that are never seen again (see also The Brown Bunny, Esther Kahn).

In case anyone had any doubt, word is it should be seen in 2D by the way as that's how the photography was planned.

I was mildly interested, today made sure I'd see it this weekend.

They couldn't have been worse, that's for sure. But they would then have been very vulnerable from the left so SNP would have done just as well, and greens would have been biting a bit more.
I'm curious to see how all will play out in the coming years.

I caught The Woods at the time as I was really curious about Lucky McKee's follow-up to May, it was ok, but it was no May, and his next one sounds torture porn-y, so I haven't seen it.

On top of what Dellarigg said, he is on the left seen as having run a too right wing ship, and the election of Ed Milliband as leader was seen as a bit of a corrective. Of course given how well that worked out, we might in the next few years see a reassessment of his non-Iraq legacy.

I'm strictly anti-dubbing, but this would be more akin to translations of literary texts (or even instruction manuals more often).
