I've seen 'John Malkovich' and that's about it. I haven't seen 'Adaptation' yet.

Don't forget Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood. They also gave pretty lovely turns in that film.

I liked both, but I prefer Adaptation. Cage really surprised me and I love me some Chris Cooper.

Also, Human Nature was, IMO, underappreciated. Plus, my home boy small fry hot man Peter Dinklage was in it. Snootch!

Everytime I see him I'm impressed. Loved him in "Lone Star" with Elizabeth Pena

Claire · 01-28-2005, 06:10 PM

Doh! Are we talking Charlie Kaufman??? I love his mind!! He's teaming up with Spike Jonze again, and I'm very excited!

Adaptation is one of my newer all-time favorites! I even started a thread many moons ago at MP because of Chris Cooper's character in that movie. Oh my gosh. John Laroche was the best freaking character EVER.

Chris Cooper reminded me of my dad in American Beauty, too, by the way. He's primo. Lonestar is one of my husband's favorite movies. Ironically, he didn't even like til years after I bought the video. He wouldn't watch it forever.....didn't trust my taste in movies.

Tonight we're watching Singin' in the Rain with the girls....it's pizza and movie night! We'll most likely watch Tootsie. I love Tootsie!

OK, one of the few pieces of gossip I actually tune into is stuff about Spike Jonze. My SIL's nephew is good friends with him, works on his films and house sits for him and, formerly Sophia, so I think I'm "connected" in some way.

Now, I find out that Spike is dating Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I like the Yeahx3 enough, but I ADORE Sophia. Isn't it nice to have opinions about people you don't really know?

Claire · 01-28-2005, 07:12 PM

I wish Spike Jonze (um, Adam Spiegel--am I obsessed much? Yes!) would act again. I really loved his character in Three Kings!! He was sooo good. The Coppola/Jonze split really bummed me out last year. I thought that was a match made in creative brainiac heaven.

I haven't seen Singin' or Tootsie since I was about ten! I can't wait!

Damn pizza...I should have ordered it earlier.

Claire · 01-29-2005, 12:04 PM

The kids looooooved Singin' in the Rain.

Chloe danced during about half of the movie. I think we'll most likely have to buy it someday. My husband really liked it....even asked me to pause it when he got up to get a drink of water. The girls looooved Lina's voice and all morning I've heard, "I kint staaan' im!"

They stayed up and watched Tootsie too. I remember being Courtney's age and going to the theater to watch it with my mom, who bawled at the end.

We loved both.

Tonight it's Charade (thanks to GC!) and Giant.

Baileykat · 01-29-2005, 06:00 PM

Oh! I'm so jealous Claire! Giant is one of my favorites! Filled right in my very own Texas!

We're watching Mrs. Doubtfire..."Helllllooooouuuuu!"

We just got back from seeing Lemony Snicket's SOUE...I wasn't much impressed. It just didn't get into the story deep enough for me...not to mention that Kat has NOT read the books, so she had a million questions during the movie....AND Bailey HAS read the books..so he had to comment on all the things that were missing or wrong....

So we were the annoying family in the middle who talked during the whole film!

I did enjoy Jim Carrey in this role...he's evil enough for it..but I didn't feel like the script did him justice. Left it wide open for a sequel though...

Just saw A Very Long Engagement tonight and thought it was awsome. Jeunet has such a wonderful storytelling style and beautifully captures the inner imaginations of his characters in stunning (and sometimes horrific) visuals. We'll definately be adding this one to the archives.

I know it's not represented in the Academy Awards, but damn I'm glad I made the time to see this one before it was shut out by the oscar nomenies
