    Maltese Falcon is the shit, bro!

    Ah! You've re-booted my soul!

    I finished Cocoon this morning, and while i still don't disagree with you, when Wilfred Brimley is saying goodbye to his grandson, this was me... I'm never going to get the snot stains out of my Spidey PJ's.

    Really? I watched The Little Mermaid for the first time in a long time not too long ago, and moreso than even the earliest Disney princess movies, I found its message to be...troublesome. Music-wise? I personally prefer Beauty and the Beast, but that's just me.

    Treasure of the Sierra Madre... ITunes just had a sale and I bought Raging Bull, Wall Street, and Life of Pi none of which I've seen (Although in not sure if Pi can be considered a. classic yet...) P.s. I saw The Godfather movies relatively late in life

    I have to think about it, but there are a bunch.

    That's exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking of. There are a bunch of movies like that for me, and I would love an excuse to watch them.

    R.I.P. Mary Tyler Moore

    No problem! Keep in mind, it's just the two episodes. The other episodes are Harris Wittels (R.I.P.) trying to convince Scott Aukerman that Phish is the best band in the world. SPOILER ALERT

    No, I'd definitely want it to be something where at least the person suggesting it has never seen it. Like, if someone had never seen Citizen Kane or something...

    I was thinking about this and wondering... I know we're only at the beginning of the year, but assuming Musical Mondays hasn't driven us all apart by the end of the year, I wonder if there's any interest in doing the same thing with "Classic" movies we've somehow never seen? It would be kind of like the episodes of Analyze Phish when it became Analyze "Fish." If you haven't heard them, basically PFT and Howard Kremer take over the podcast and watch Jaws with someone who's never seen it before. It could be a fun way to fill some cinematic gaps... Just throwing it out there...

    Hey, now. No one's disputing that.

    (I love how we're dancing around it, but based on what we're saying, it's pretty obvious what happens-LOL) That was my problem, it should have wrecked me, but it was handled so clumsily. It was like they were trying to pull off the same effect your describing, but it was just obnoxious. When the "incident" happens, they do a slow close up and then cut to Jenny's. And your like, "Oh, fuck! No! (jaw hits the floor) That happened! Okay, just say it. Why is no one talking about this? The fact that you aren't talking about it is starting to piss me off. Wait...did it happen? Oh, it did. Fuck you, movie."

    Yeah, to be honest, I was surprised how well Roberta came off. She's introduced to us as Roberta and there really aren't too many references to her biological gender--at least, not that I caught. Her relationship with Garp, and his 100% acceptance of her, was one of the best parts of the movie. Now I won't go so far as to say it's flawless, but for it's time, I felt it was extremely progressive. The part you're alluding to does happen, but it was the familial aftermath that caught me off guard. Although, as a father of two sons, how they move on from that was...problematic. However, the novel probably gets a little more into it. Let's just say, "Well, that was quick" was definitely a phrase that came to mind. Also the final scene. I did not see that coming. Let me know what you think of it. It was my first time watching it, and I'd be interested to hear your take... RE: Your play--Yeah, man. Whenever you're ready, I'll Be There

    I wrote a brief review on Letterboxd. Basically I said that Lithgow was great, but it's a challenging movie. Garp is a real tool. And while I often thought that Robin Williams was miscast, I also had to concede that he's also the only reason you cut this guy any slack at all. Also, the movie never real comes together. I think what I said on Letterboxd was I don't know how well it works as a movie, but as a piece of Art that makes you feel something (even if that thing is anger) then I guess it works. And it definitely had its moments. There were at least two moments where my mouth literally dropped open--although if you've already read the book.... So while I wouldn't necessary go out of my way to recommend it, it might be worth a look. ETA: I just wanted add that since writing this post my rating of Garp has gone from "3 stars/liked," to "3 stars/don't like," to "2 1/2 stars/don't like." If this keeps up it's going to start owing me some stars...

    Apropos nothing... This morning my son woke me up at 5AM, so, as usual, I used this time to watch or finish watching a movie. This morning, I finished watching The World According to Garp and started Cocoon. Now, I'm not sure how familiar you all are with Cocoon, but I don't think I've ever seen it. It begins with a bright light beaming into the Gulf of Mexico near a pod of dolphins while sinister sounding, atonal synth music plays in the background. It then cuts to a retirement community. I was watching Wilfred Brimley and Don Amache navigate the halls of this rest home, and although their lips were moving, no sound was coming out--just this continued atonal music from the first scene. As they walk, they see a group of retirees doing aerobics--specifically, this kind of swimming motion. There are dolphin cries. The woman says something to them--still inaudible. Don Amache responds. Everyone laughs. Nothing but silence and that persistent music. And I'm thinking to myself, "Wow! This is really bold. The silence really underscores the routine of their existence. Fascinating." Then the picture froze. "Great," I think to myself, "The Internet is down..." Since I'm watching it on Amazon Video, I back out of the movie and immediately resume it. It starts from the beginning. It's then that I realized, what I though to be such a bold film making decision, was really just the sound and picture being out of sync. Thank God I'm pretty...

    You can't some in here, drop that knowledge, and not give us a trailer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEcOCxMYrSI&t=29s ETA: They won't let me embed it. Now I look like an asshole. I'm sorry, Cam...I never should have doubted you.

    Let's just say, if any one of The Go-Gos were willing to hang out with any of us we'd be some lucky motherfuckers.
  20. Cameron H.
    Oh, Jane! 100% No contest.
  21. Cameron H.
    I'd be lying if I said that cruising around with The Go-Gos didn't look like it would be a real hoot and a holler.
  22. Cameron H.
    Oh! Thanks for clarifying. For a minute, I thought you meant Beauty and the Beat... I've been listening to "Our Lips are Sealed" all day.
