Wow.

I gotta say...in terms of invokation by the cast of the 3 Stooges, that trailer looked SPOT on. Seriously, I'm pretty impressed.

That said, I can't particularly see how, as a movie, it can be any good. Especially seeing that last sequence in the trailer. Yikes.

Casting is pretty good, especially Curly. I might be interested, if for no other reason than a hot nun in a skimpy bathing suit.

And BTW, we saw The Muppet Movie on Tuesday night (we Susan and I had the theatre to ourselves). Pretty good movie!

I guess I hadn't been up to speed on the movie. I had been expecting a bio-pic, like the TV movie with Michael Chiklis. I see on IMDB that Larry David plays a nun named Sister Mary-Mengele. If we haven't seen all the good parts, this should be great--just like the original Stooges.

I wonder what, if anything, they had to pay the various estates to get the rights to play these characters straight-up.

I got a call from me mum yesterday, she's coming into town for Christmas and has a movie she want's to watch in the Mooncave.

She was recently in London and went to see "Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990" at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

A movie was featured in the exhibit, a perfect example of postmodernism deconstruction. In her words, "it's a weird off beat old British film" but she really wanted to see it so she purchased a copy to bring home.

OK, I replied, that sounds, ummm Interesting I guess. What's it called?

British?

Well, I suppose Ridley Scott is British. But I'm pretty sure it was an American production.

I'm sure Ridley Scott is the focus of the exhibit so I'll let that one pass, its her haughty art snobbery tone describing this high art film she was going to share with me in order to broaden my horizons attitude that I won't let her live down anytime soon.

On a total tangent....

Blade Runner made an art form of the future as worn out rather than new and shiny. Run down areas of town, old cars, etc...

Star Wars also touched on this concept. The Millenium Falcon and Luke's home all showed signs of ware. I'm trying to think of any main stream Science Fiction movies pre-Star Wars that depicted used/worn out items from the future. 2001 depicted a world where everything looked brand new, Planet of the Apes had lot's of low-tech stuff but it all looked new as best as I can remember.

A Clockwork Orange depicted a run-down future. Not 2001, but Kubrick nonetheless.

Not quite what I'm going for here. There are plenty of apocalypse type scenarios. I'm talking about future stuff, space ships, hover cars, etc.. that are depicted as old, warn out, used. Where the future has a past that's still in our future.

I don't know if that's the case. The Millennium Falcon seemed almost entirely mechanical. Really no ware that I recall seeing.
