I've seen exactly 1 film from his selections, Precious, which is excellent. It looks like I need to catch up on my movies.
Well you're one ahead of me.
Have we settled on any definite plans for the 26th? Like a where and what time?
I'll make an official post about it.
Have not seen movie one on that list. In fact, I was trying to remember what the last movie was that I saw in a theater - and I can't. Pathetic.
It's not pathetic - just go rent (or buy, for that matter) PIxar's Up. They can do absolutely NO WRONG there, except for Cars, which can refer to my buttocks.
Absolute film of the year, maybe the Pixar film of their entire existence. Made MrsX AND ME cry. The first 10 minutes alone will have you marvelling and blubbering at what powerful emotions can come from just music & moving pictures.
To borrow a phrase from Jordan, Cameron may be just waxing Pixar's car this year...
And isn't Ebert sort of really gimped out with some horrible disease? Maybe on medications galore? In fact, look at the first letters of all his movies. It seems like he just wadded up paper balls and threw them at random sections of the alphabetical Blockbuster shelves.
Note the groupings around "E, F, G, H I," and "S, T, U, P." Coincidence?
