Bill and I just went an saw Little Miss Sunshine. Absolutely f-ing hysterical!

Is anyone, besides me, looking forward to Hollywoodland? It's got a good cast and loooks to be very noirish, which is always appealing to me.

I don't know enough about the mystery surrounding the death/suicide of George Reeves to know how accurate it may be, but with Bob Hoskins in it, I am compelled to see it. Diane Lane looks like she will be turning in a good performance as well. Then there is Adrien Brody...

Ummmmmm......Adrien Brody. But, only if he is playing an intellectual. I don't like him as a palooka.

He looks like he plays the cop who suffers

I believe he is a private investigator.

I just watched 'Schindler's List' again after a long hiatus from watching the film. It's truly a great film. I think it was Spielberg's last great film. (Save the first 20 minutes of 'Private Ryan'.)
It doesn't feel right to talk about how beautiful this film is, but it is. There is some great imagery that hits a homerun in this film. There are parts that drag, but he really did something right with this one.
I have seen the film at least 4 times now and missed the shot of Schindler and his wife driving away in concentration camp uniforms. I don't know how I missed that before. I also thought he did a good job showing the progression of characters even the minor ones. There were a lot of people to keep track of and he did it well.
And Liam Neeson is huge! He looks like he's 7 feet tall in this film.

We watched Detour last night. Chris missed it at the Cemetery this summer and I wanted him to see it. It really hit me how wonderful it is to see films with a GOOD crowd. While it was great to see again, it just wasn't the same as sharing the experience with a mostly knowledgable and appreciative film crowd.

Now to remove the sad from my heart, I'm watching 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'. Watching Ethel Merman slip on that banana peel makes me laugh every time.
