I had no idea there was a movie adaptation of "Tony & Tina's Wedding". Interesting. Manoa Valley Theatre is doing that one for their end of the season show. Hmmm....

Sorry, didn't mean there was a movie version of the play. I was just using the play as an example of something that realistically puts you in the middle of something that you can't understand wanting to be in the middle of.

My bad. I didn't read your post right. I did some research and found it on imdb. Apparently, it's really awful.

Has anybody done any Salt and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory mashups? Because I really have spend most of the marketing onslaught thinking to myself it would be good if the answer to "Who is Salt?" is "Veruca Salt, all growed up."

She even looks just like Angelina Jolie:

"Bride Wars" with Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson is a lot funnier than you'd think.

Saw two quality movies this weekend.

Inception - It starts slow and I'll be able to understand why some people really won't like it, but it worked for me. Perhaps the most successful filming of a Philip K. Dick novel to date except that it isn't based on a Philip K. Dick novel. It hangs together rather well with complex levels and doesn't feel the need to explain every little detail (though it does need to set things up with is why it started slow). Good performances but not particularly deep characters.

Winter Bones - The other end of the Hollywood magic spectrum. A small movie with great performances. A mob movie in the Ozarks. I strongly recommend you go out and see this one because it is one of those small distribution movies you'll otherwise forget to ever watch otherwise.

Loved Inception. It did start a bit slow, but, yes, it did set the groundwork.

Oooo, down the road it will be nice to discuss this movie. No spoilers now, though.

Of course, the porn version will be "Conception"
