I'm watching Stop Making Sense today- one of my all time favorite concert films.

I'll go you one better ... it's my ALL-TIME-FAVORITE concert movie. Love It!

I agree, iSm- I loved that group, and that film is awesome!

(Another, more recent, good one is Green Day's 'Bullet in a Bible').

The film is awsome, but the live show was SPECTACULAR!

innerSpaceman · 01-27-2008, 11:14 PM

Ugh, i hate you. It's the one concert i almost went to, and most regret missing. Bah.

(Actually, i love that you went. If i can't do something cool, it's nice consolation that people i love did it.)

I have little interest in seeing Rambo, but I am TOTALLY in for seeing Son of Rambow, which seems to be in the vein of Be Kind, Rewind except British and with kids. And stunts. And Rambo.

Fool's Gold = 9% on rottentomatoes.com.
How sad.

Saw In Bruges the new Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, and Ralph Fiennes gangster movie.

One of the reviews I read said something like "this is the movie that Guy Ritchie has been trying to make." Talk about screwing up my expectations. Accents and gangsters is about all it has in common with a Guy Ritchie movie.

Once I got out of the groove I was primed for and into the groove the movie actually wanted it is pretty good but I can't quite recommend going out of your way to see it theatrically. DVD will be fine. The last 30 minutes does an unusually fine job of tying up the various elements that preceded it and seemed like random foolishness at the time and yet still feels very organic.

It was also my first time at the Kabuki in San Francisco as a paying customer since they completed their conversion into a Sundance theater. I don't give a damn about upscale chocolates and Mexican Coke at the snack bar but the seats were nice, I do love me reserved seating, and we'll definitely have to try the balcony bar on a future visit.

Just saw 27 Dresses. I disliked it IMMENSELY. I didn't find it funny, cute or even remotely heart warming. I didn't care about any of the characters and as it slowly dragged its way to an obvious ending I was more angry and annoyed at the main character than engaged.

I admit, I'm a cynic of the worst caliber but I've like many a comedy romance movie. This one just made me want to roll my eyes and hope for a great spoof movie!

Can I just say that I adore the film Gosford Park. I can watch it over and over.

But...

Can I also say that I completely loathe Ryan Phillipe? God! Every time I see him, I just want to punch him in the nose. Ugh. Good-looking, talentless piece of scrod. It's like Keanu in Much Ado about Nothing. Bleck.
