Little Miss Sunshine comes out on DVD tomorrow. Maybe I'll get to see it.

I very badly wanted to give you "Scary Christmas" mojo, but apparently I've given you too much mojo love already.

I like the theory that people are being encouraged by the studio to sue Borat. A few out-of-court settlements are a small price to pay for the proof of veracity that such lawsuits bring.

Either way, funny or not, things like Borat must be making life at least a bit more difficult for legitimate documentarians.

I suppose, but I guess one could also say that of Christopher Guest movies, too. I don't see those fakeumentaries like 'Spinal Tap' ruining anything.
I get what you're saying, though.

Does Christopher Guest use unstaged scenes with unwitting participants? Then get them to sign model agreements by making them think they were part of a valid documentary? It's been so long since I saw Spinal Tap but is there anybody in that movie that didn't know they were in a movie?

If so, then yes I would include him in that statement as well.

Another film is openeing that I want to see and I can't seem to get to the ones that are already out!

Venus has been added to the list.

Alex · 12-19-2006, 04:38 PM

Yeah, I want to see that one because I've heard that Peter O'Toole is great in it. Seeing the trailer before The Queen, left me flat, though.

Venus is also written by Hanif Kureishi (Fanny and Rosie Get Laid & My Beautiful Launderette).

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!

VIVA PEDRO!!!!!

I just saw a commercial for the Little Miss Sunshine DVD release.

I can't believe it but it prominently features the end of the movie. If you have any interest in seeing the movie and haven't yet, close your eyes whenever this commercial comes on. You deserve to be caught by surprise.
