Is it possible to know you will like a movie in the first frame? In the absolutely first second of the first frame? It is. That was "Capote" to me; as soon as I saw those wheat stalks swaying in the wind I braced myself and thought: "I'm gonna really enjoy this one", and I was right, I loved it, loved it, loved it. It should have won Best Picture if the Oscars weren't dumb.

I haven't seen it yet, but i'm thinking that I know i'll like it already based on the subject matter, the lead actor, the reviews by critics I trust.  But sometimes you get a feeling from the first frame that you are in for a good movie viewing experience.

Capote was shot right here in Winnipeg (and out lying areas) last year.  All the courtroom exteriors are actually on the outside of the Manitoba Legislature building.  Many of my coworkers and actors I directed had bit parts in it that were left on the cutting room floor.  One of my coworkers had a scene between herself and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and several other scenes - she played the mother of the girl who finds the murder victims.  It makes sense that it was cut, but I'm hoping the DVD will have the scene on it.  One of the actors I worked with recently is still in it in a non-speaking role during the bar/party scenes.

I actually found it pretty boring, which is surprising, since I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman so much.

Crash was like Magnolia with racism.

I do want to see Walk the Line when I get the chance.

I've had two separate and different people tell me I look like Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  I'm almost certain that I'm flattered.

I am sort of ambivalent about that, and I figured I would really enjoy it. It was interesting, but just not as satisfactory as I expected. I liked the sangin'.

I dunno Auggie.  

When you see Philip Seymour Hoffman in interviews he is a fairly attractive man, but in his films, he is mostly unnattractive and not at all likable.  I mean Happiness?  Boogie Nights?  He played two of the most unnattractive characters to grace the screen in my opinon, and I just want him to take a shower so bad.  

But yes, I have seen photos of you, and you do sort of look like Phillip Seymour Hoffman - the actor.

Paticularly if they are talking about "Boogie Nights". Do you actually <own> shorts like that, Aug?

Oh man, I am all about imagining all the guys on this board wearing tiny ill fitting shorts like those, and possibly sipping from tiny cans of Dr. Pepper.

I wish that had turned out differently, S_S.

I haven't seen the film, so I don't know.  Although probably not.

I have been searching for a photo of PSH as Scotty in Boogie Nights in the tiny shorts, to no avail!  To no avail!  You'd think if someone wins a Best Actor Oscar that there'd be some pretty comprehensive fan sites out there, but from what I see there's only a couple out-dated ones.
