[Cameron H. 23786]

We probably won't hear from Cake until later today, so settle in everybody...

Hey, he bought his ticket. He knew what he was getting into...

[Cam Bert 8145]

As much as I like to give him a hard time for his last pick, CakeBug has an incredible knowledge of theater and musicals so I'm sure whatever I wake up to will be a pleasant surprise.

[Cakebug Tranch 6873]

Sorry guys, I have been up since five and have driven from Toronto to Oswego: class starts in half an hour and I still have some prep to complete. So, it'll be a bit longer until I have something for you. But just to reassure you all, I certainly feel as though this morning I have Traversed the Solar System, or gone Through the Galaxy, so to speak...

Oh, I agree. I wasn't a fan of AtU, but I'm glad I watched it. I'm sure Cake's got something interesting lined up for us.

All this Across the Universe talk has got me...

Through the Galaxy? They made a musical of The Black Hole?

 

[Cakebug Tranch 6873]

I'll get to you soon, promise...

[Cam Bert 8145]

Is it wrong that I would watch that?

[Cinco DeNio 5290]

[Cinco DeNio 5290]

Hell no! I would too!

 

On another note I confused CakeBug with you and hoped this would be the pick.

[Cam Bert 8145]

Well, we both have the Canada connection.

 

I've not yet settle on my pick yet but this does seem interesting. The last film of Suzuki Seijun who made Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter which are brilliant but very surreal gangster films which I recommend.

Every Monday MM gets me all anxious/excited, but also scared..

As it should be.

[Cakebug Tranch 6873]

Hey guys, sorry about the delay - it's a crazy time and I completely forgot I was on deck until this morning

 

However, I have been thinking long and hard about what I'd pick. I'd keep thinking of a MM pick and think

 

 

And then I'd have second thoughts and think

 

 

when I realized that not everyone would be into that one.

 

So I kept thinking, and crossed a bunch of things off. And came to other picks and thought

 

 

only to think about what it would do to Cameron H's fragile psyche:

 

 

And then it made me think that it's silly to try to reinvent the wheel. Why not go back to something that we've all said in the past that we loved, that has wonderful songs, arresting visuals, and a real message that you can believe in?

 

 

No, I'm not picking 'Across the Universe'. Jeez. Give me some credit.

 

 

 

No, it's the all-star musical sensation that pairs some of the greatest talents of their generation up for a behind-the-scenes look at a seedy underground industry. A pick we can all get behind.

 

 

I mean, of course,

 

 

 

 

 

Did I get you? Did I?

 

 

I'm not THAT big of an asshole, I promise.

 

No, the movie I've picked that pairs two superstars for the behind the scenes look at a seedy industry is, of course...

 

 

 

 

Complain about THAT, motherfuckers!

Literally same!

 

I am on the verge of thinking this is part of the gag and he wants us all properly crazy this week.

I have some ideas what it could be possibly??.. but now I'm extra anxious

I'll back these recommendations. Suzuki Seijun, when given the opportunity, made unusual gangster films. The closest I could think of for an American production would be Point Blank (the Lee Marvin one) or Ghost Dog (but Ghost Dog is just straight up stealing ideas than anything else.

 

I'd be very curious about a musical but is want to know of it falls into his more, comparatively, straight lace films or his crazier films
