Beltmann Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I ran into Mark Borchardt in a Target once. Also, I ran into Mike Schank once... he was drunk and stumbling in the alley behind a movie theater. Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just finished the final episode of Battlestar Galactica the other night. Darn good series even though the way they handled one of the characters at the end was kind of stupid. Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Back again. The footage of the boys and their peoples traipsing around on a yacht while shopping for a Greek island in '67 is just awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

The footage of the boys and their peoples traipsing around on a yacht while shopping for a Greek island in '67 is just awesome. I think it might be time for my annual viewing of that set. Have you seen the director's cut versions floating around out there? I've seen that it's been up on You Tube before, but I have never actually invested the time to check them out. --Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Great! The church scene was filmed That's very cool! I really liked this movie. Next semester I'm teaching a new course called "Film as Social Criticism," and I'm planning to show it as an example of what A.O. Scott called the "Neo-Neo Realism." Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Rumba / Dominique Abel, Fiona Gordon, Bruno Romy / Belgium / 2008 In this stylized comedy, Dom and Fiona are married schoolteachers who love to competitive dance on the weekends. But when a a freak car wreck leaves Fiona legless and Dom memory-impaired, hilarity ensues. It's imperfect, but who wants to complain? After all, this is the closest anybody has come to Jacques Tati or Buster Keaton in years. The trailer (and some clips) will give you some idea: Rumba Link to post Share on other sites

M. (hristine Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Finally watched The Wrestler last night. Mostly left me with the insight that wrestling and stripping are two sides of the same coin. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The Hangover - I dug it. The script held back from trying to make every other line quotable (though I did like one of those - 'Did you just eat sofa pizza?'). So many recent adult comedies seem to be weaved from one-liners like 'Tell that rabbit to stop crying or -" I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm actually hungover. I know liked this and Zack Galifianakis is a genius. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Watched Rudo y Cursi last night... I liked it - not bad, not great. Funny thing about the subtitles - (the Film was originally in Mexican Spanish) they were obviously done by a Brit (wanker, tosser, bollocks, buggered, bloody, prat) but the spelling was American English (color, not colour). The translation word choices took me out of the film - strange choice to apply Britisms to two Mexican hicks. Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Pandarus is, bar none, the gayest Shakespeare character ever. Bastard son of Oscar Wilde and Charles Nelson Reilly. edit: I was wrong: it's Thersites. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Runaway Jim Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sunshine Cleaning & Observe and Report. Sunshine Cleaning was nice. A bit sadder than I was expecting but nice. A few funny moments. I fucking love Amy Adams. She's cute as a button. Observe and Report was just terrible. Maybe one funny line and one sort of funny violent scene. Other than that, it was painful to watch. Seth Rogen at his absolute worst. Link to post Share on other sites
