I just watched "The Corndog Man" on Netflix streaming.

It's not an easy film to watch- it's a very dark comedy, but it's got an excellent blues soundtrack, including Otis Rush's version of Willie Dixon's "Violent Love" (many of you know the Oingo Boingo cover), and an excellent performance by Noble Willingham.

Saw Night at the Museum 2 - It was funny and had an Amy Adams fix. Had some good moments but I felt it was nothing more than a popcorn film. Not totally brainless but an enjoyable ride.

I watched half of Hellboy the other night before falling asleep. I found it implausible.

Sean Penn is reported out for the role of Larry in the Fareley brothers' 3 Stooges film. Names being bandied about as an alternative are Paul Giamatti, Adrien Brody , Simon Pegg and even Zach Galifianakis. I suggest Pegg, simply because it would be easiest to alter any existing advertising images by replacing the n's with g's.

Totally unrelated to the interest in the Iranian election and the major stuff going on over there, a spin over to HBO brought me to The Queen and I. A fascinating film and quite moving and touching.

I don't see how it's un-related. The revolution to oust the Shah resulting in worse tyranny that was being rebelled against.

Careful What You Wish For. Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire. These phrases are tropes for a reason. They happen again and again. It happened in Iran. The film seems to touch on that quite clearly, though I haven't seen it (but would like to).

When do these Sundance films become Netflix films??

Sorry iSm, it was just I happened to catch this and was not seeking it out in view of what is happening right now. That's what I meant, unrelated to the coversation going on in the election thread.

I have no idea when this will end up on DVD, but I'd like very much to see it again, and see what other additional material that did not make the cut.

Now is also a good time to watch Persepolis, if you haven't seen it yet.

10 Best Picture nominees? That's certainly going to bloat the broadcast next year.

And what if they still don't get any mainstream studio pictures into the mix? Though maybe they could cut the separate Foreign Language, Feature Documentary, and Animated Feature categories and give the top nom from those categories guaranteed slots in the Best Picture category.
