I wanna know when Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is screening at Casa Chihuahua. :P

Oh crapus! I just read this, we would have loved to come!
errr:mad:

The planned eXistenZ/Videodrome double feature instead became an eXistenZ/Polanski's 'The Tenant' double feature. It was a splendid evening, enhanced by the Voodoo Donuts Heather brought back from her day trip to Portland.

There'll be another movie night very soon.

(Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was just announced for a blu ray release. Should we wait?)

Yes, absolutely. It will seem more like some minor-key event.



I was really sleepy during The Tenant, but - as promised - it was really fuctup.

My most recent copy of this is the widescreen laserdisc. I see that a recent special edition DVD also has a widescreen option (this movie was pan n' scan only on DVD for a long time), but mostly uninspired extras. Will the Blu-ray have anything new content-wise?

I'm kind of a sucker for these overlong expensive roadshow musicals. CCBB is leisurely, to say the least, but it's beautiful to look at, and there's a decent chance I'll snag the Blu-ray myself. Heck, I'd pick up remastered Blu-rays of Dr. Doolittle, Paint Your Wagon, Song of Norway and Lost Horizon if they showed up. It would be a marathon of pity, but I'd enjoy it.

My last copy of CCBB is also the laserdisc. I might pick up the blu-ray, but watch it only once! If mousepod has a viewing, I think I'll content myself with that.

LOVE THIS MOVIE. I really dig the songs and the camp and everything about it. But, ya know, it's not a very good film. And I have the urge to watch it only once every five years, and feel the need to fulfill the urge only once every ten.

Then I think we should have a screening of The Great Race in the meantime. I'll bring pie.

We watched Observe and Report.

Meh. Seth Rogen gave a good performance, but the movie failed to sell me. There was a total disconnect between its earnestness and its absurdity. And the overall tone and delivery came off way too flat for the ridiculousness of the content. It needed to either give in to the absurd, or dwell in the dark humor, can't decide which I'd have preferred, but I do know that the middle ground it occupied did not work for me.

Oooo!!!!! Love that movie!

Push the button, Max! Maaaaaaaax!
