WELCOME TO 2007!
« on: January 01, 2007, 12:12:11 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, you are now informed that it is 2007, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they promise they'll be home sometime this year.

Let's begin 2007 with a bang - pages of posts so that when the errant and truant arise they will truly be baffled.

Well, I watched the three movies I had slated for tonight.

Liked INCONVENIENT TRUTH

PIRATES OF C II, despite being written by pals of mine is needlessly convuluted and movies just trying to outdo each other by being faster, louder, bigger just wear me out anymore.  Worst is the fact I HATE movies that are not complete in themselves.  You have to remember too much from the 1st one and they have left this one open-ended for a third one.  You take that exhausting journey for a shaggy-dog ending that doesn't finish the story. I HATE that! (P.S. - The sound was terrible!)

BLACK DAHLIA, also written by a pal, also had terrible sound (or maybe I need to adjust it on my TV set) and was a bit convuluted.  I don't know whether the fault lie with the script, the direction, or the source material...but it seemed filled with a bunch of cliches from a bunch of old noir films...LAURA (enamoured of a DEAD GIRL); THE BIG SLEEP (psycho rich family; porno); MALTESE FALCON ("When your partner dies, you're supposed to do something about it."), among many others.  Hillary Swank gives a rather cartoonish femme fatale.

Jrand, the William Gaunt I saw was a much older and whiter (haired) Gaunt than the one from The Champions.

Happy New Year, Everybody!

I thought the woman who played Swank's mother in Dahlia gave the most cartoonish performance in the film.  It was like she was playing in a Feydeau farce.

Yes!  It was Fiona Shaw...a greatly respected (and usually talented) British stage actress.  And there was just so much exposition to wade through, mostly about a guy who's talked about but never appears (or maybe he does in flashback).  I never did figure out all the relationships and who was screwing who exactly.  Also the big secret killer was telegraphed the minute you saw the silhouette.

I thought it was a bad, bad film.  De Palma is just not a good director, and I suspect the source novel is written in a very Ellroyesque purple way that doesn't translate well - plus, they're trying to cram everything in in two hours.  The last fifteen minutes of the film are unintentionally hilarious.

I remember one hilarious late-night frenzy where we did something like five or six pages of posts by two in the morning.  When people woke up, they couldn't believe it.
