Miscellaneous Movie Musings - Page 256

Oi, I'm tempted to go to the movies tonight, because I have GOT to see No Country for Old Men and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.

Thing is, I'm short on time. And most Oscar-contenders like these are going to come my way soon on DVD screeners anyway. Torn, torn.

The movie I'm less enthusiastic about, Beowulf, will not be the same on my TV set as it will in IMAX 3-D. It's a sad irony that I might end up shelling out time and money for that this weekend rather than the much finer films more worthy of either.

I might actually venture into a theatre to see No Country for Old Men. I've seen so many more movies this year than usual. I might even need two hands to count them!

Steve, while No Country for Old Men isn't a movie that absolutely screams for the big screen I did feel a vibe for being in a packed house watching it.

Oh! Cohen Brothers!

Watched Atlantis The Lost Empire last night. Since I did absolutely no homework, just a spur of the moment Netflix choice as it was a Disney I've not seen. Very different Disney, a cross between anime and comic book artwork. Very angular and moved at an exhausting pace. Not the best and not the worst, I did not feel my 80 minutes was wasted.

I'm one of the few people I know who liked that movie. I thought it was great. I even bought the DVD ... and it's my only DVD to have ever disappeared. Pfft, no one would have borrowed it. No one likes it. Just gone.

Oh well. It's a wrongly reviled movie. Nothing wrong with it. Jules Verny adventure with stock but funny characters.

I certainly did not revile it, not in the least. But I was breathless by the end, it moved, I think, a little bit too fast. I thought it was beautiful to look and I would have enjoyed a more leisurely look around Atlantis. And especially enjoyed Don Novello. It made me wonder if Walt would have hired Father Guido Sarducci, but I'm glad they did!

Count me among the fans of Atlantis, as well. Saw it at El Cap. There were characters in costume at the Masonic (now Jimmy Kimmel) building. I wonder what happened to those costumes? Was there ever an Atlantis presence in the park?

The first time we went to the park there was a small presence- here's a pic of Tori getting a signature and some dirt from Moliere:

I liked Atlantis as well, and my copy is missing too. What's up with that?
