Saw The Naughty Girl (French 1956) for Bastille Day yesterday. Horribly flawed and yet perfect vehicle to launch Brigitte Bardot's career. Gratuitous swim scene to show her in bikini, dream sequences to include pirate costumes, Jail house tangos, and outfits blown away in gusts of wind. Lot's of physical comedy that could have been so much funnier with some better editing, wonderfully cliched detectives, talking of the best places to get Cassoulet. Still a delight to see Bardot's opening line of "meard."

Co0ntinuing my Brigit Bardot marathon I saw Voulex-vous danser avec moi (Come Dance with me) Much more delightful film with Serge Gainsbourg playing a role - French Sex comedey. murder mystery, midgets, transvestites, and Brigit Bardot - perfect film to drink a martini to...

Cheers

Anybody wanna see a screening of "Mamma Mia" this Saturday?

Decided to finally tackle the "1000 Greatest Films" list from They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?

I've also included the movies on their latest "Must-see" list that arent' on the main list, which brings the total to 1035.

Tonight I watched 12 Angry Men.

If anyone wants to come by sometime and pick a movie off the list to watch (assuming that I have it or it's available at one of two very well stocked local video stores)... I'll make the popcorn.

12 Angry Men is a cool film. Love it. One of my favorite Henry Fonda movies.

You weren't dictating this post to NA, were you?

That and "Tentacles."

Is there anything on the list that isn't yet available on video? If so, that will end up being the one I most want to see.

Currently on top of my "need to catch up with it" list is Pather Panchali.

Tentacles - ah yes. Caught that on a rainy afternoon and laughed myself silly. Terrible, but I own it on DVD, and probably spin it once every three or four years. Nostalgia is a silly thing.

Saw a screening of "Mamma Mia" today - tons of fun!

Meryl Streep is awesome.

I know I've gone on and on about these two films (avatars and all that too) but I m in love with A Clockwork Orange and Trainspotting. I just realized tonight that Trainspotting has an ACO homage in it. The Trainspotting boys are sitting in a club with writing on the walls just like in the milk bar in ACO.

I want to write a screenplay that hits hard like Trainspotting. The movie starts and within a few minutes, you know everything about the main characters. So very cool.

Think think thinky think think think...
