Disturbing that there has been no claymation adaptation, either.

We watched Lovely, Still tonight. Have been waiting to see it eagerly, as the majority was shot here in Omaha a couple of winters ago. It's neat to see scenes from your neighborhood..."
Your post was right after mine, but I didn't put up any spoilers so surely this must be about an earlier post! Describing a 2 minute scene that has nothing to do with the main story or outcome of the movie is incapable of being a spoiler.



Wind Journey's.

beautifully done. i like the pace and lack of dialogue in a lot of it. and [spoiler alert] there is a Colombian s..."
I watched this a couple of nights ago and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the tip, Kevin.




The other day at Costco, I pointed to the rafters, told my wife, "Look, it's Haley's Comet," and threw this in the cart when she wasn't looking.
There’s nothing fancy here – no dancers throwing shapes in the background, computer-aided mumbo jumbo, or sparks showering down from the rafters – just five guys (eight, if you include Bobby Keys and two other guys on horns) who found stardom through a rough combination of dues paying and genuine talent, not custody battles, smoke, mirrors, and wardrobe malfunctions.
This 1972 tour memento, filmed at four Texas gigs, finds the Stones bloodied but unbowed by Altamont with the Beatles sucking their fumes again (the Fab Four just weren’t built for the long haul, thank God), Charlie Watts reining the whole mess in just before it all threatens to fall apart. Jagger’s lips have never looked bigger, Keef sports what looks like a Scottish terrier on his head, and Mick Taylor quietly plies his craft in the background. Without Taylor, it’s not hard to imagine these guys throwing a rod somewhere along the way.
Highlight for me – amongst several - is a sloppy “Dead Flowers” twangfest courtesy of Taylor and Richards.

Oh, I forgot about that one. The previews looked fantastic. So many movies, so little time.
Channel surfing and out of my insomnia-crazed mind at 3 a.m.:

South American princess grinds her crotch against rich white people to alert them to the tragedies of deforestation. Or something like that. I finally passed out.

That's not Don Johnson, is it?
I once attended a Don Johnson film festival. That guy has been in some doozies. I don't recommend "The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart."

Colin Firth is absolutely fab in it. And it's nice to see Helena Bonham Carter not crazy. :)


1)Black Swan was creepy, sexy, and violent. I think I would have gotten more out of it if I knew Swan Lake better, but it was pretty damn cool.
2)Inception was awesome looking, and a pretty neat construction.
3)Have any of you seen Mr. Nobody? It's a Belgian SF film from last year starring Jared Leto and Sarah Polley. Poignant and daring.


Britt, I watched it last night. I did not realize she is 75 yrs old! I find her humor somewhat caustic and brash, but I do love her on the Fashion Police. She has forged her path and is admirable in her work ethic. Overall, an interesting movie.

I also didn't know that she's so funny! When she's telling off that heckler, and she does the joke about her first husband, I died.


Photography was spectacular. Abbie is spectacular. Very enjoyable film.

So-so, but a little too long. Disney throws a lot of things at the wall here to see what will stick, including traces of "Logan's Run," "Rollerball," "Star Wars," "Deathrace 2000," and a plot cribbed directly from the Old Testament.
