No. I wasn't aware you had seen it. I take it you didn't like it?

I just wasn't that into the plot. I've only seen it once at a screening for a film class.

LSPE, are you reading the O Wells bio by ... shoot... now I cant think by who. The actor with the funeral in Four Weddings and a Funeral.

I follow on the advice... see Little Miss Sunshine!!
No question!

We have a huge collection of Wells biographies (we're planning to write a screenplay about the relationship between John Houseman and Wells-- it's fascinating.) But I don't know if we have that one...

Wait, Steph, you didn't like Little Miss Sunshine? Awww. (edited to say-- err, yeah. You guys beat me to a discussion about it.)

No, I was talking about Citizen Kane.

I really liked Little Miss Sunshine.

Right, thus the "edited to say: you guys beat me to a discussion about it."

For a writer, sometimes I'm so damn unclear!

The problem I have with CK is that I can't take my eyes off of it when it's on. If it's on TCM, I stop and watch. My DVD is pretty worn out, too.

I've always wondered if Cotten and Wells had a thing. They had such natural chemistry in CK and 'The Third Man'.

I think Ponine's talking about the second volume of Simon Callow's Welles bio. I appreciated the first one, though I felt like he went a little too far out of his way to "expose" Welles. I know that the Leaming one is filled with hyperbole, but it's still my favorite.

GC - Have you seen Journey Into Fear? I enjoy it more than the extant version of Ambersons.

I haven't seen it. I will now, though. But I bet it's one of those never been on DVD films... Grrr. It sounds good. Evil Nazi agents. (Nazis. I hate these guys.)

I'm waiting for Netflix to send me a copy of 'My Family and Other Animals'. I saw some of it on PBS and loved what I saw.

That reminds me. Has anyone here seen 'My Father's Glory' and 'My Mother's Castle'? They're two beautifully shot 'family on vacation' movies. It's light and airy and fun.
