Belleville Rendezvous/Triplets de Belleville is the bomb and a half, I show it to everyone I intend to romantically liaison with to see whether they are dead inside

Last film I saw was Breakfast on Pluto. Cillian Murphy plays an Irish boy who likes to be/identifies himself a lady and goes looking for his never-met mother in London. He really is extremely pretty




An odd piece of cinema. The main character is so extremely whimsical in the face of seriously heavy issues that it's hard not to be slightly overwhelmed by the quiet tragedy of some of it. It has plenty of really nice moments, however, and Liam Neeson and Brendan Gleeson are in it so it gets 8 thumbs up

Has a fairly gorgeous soundtrack too, and really that's all I want from a film

Breakfast on Pluto.

Thanks for reminding me - I'd been meaning to see that one.  I watched it last night on your recommendation, and it was quite good.  Neil Jordan is a great director and I really should see more of his stuff.  I get what you mean about the breazy nature of the central character being in such stark contrast to the sitautions at hand.  Villian Murphy really is fantastic and quite nice to look at.

Batman reference?

I only wish I were that clever.  It was a typo, but a quality one.  I keep forgetting that I have to use Internet Explorer at the office, with it's lack of spell checking.

OK, this is about a movie I just didn't see, but...Last night the Tech Staff rented a movie called Source Code and I asked him what it was about so I could decide whether to watch it. He said not to bother, it was one of those movies about chase scenes and explosions. And I was like, how did they think that was a good name for a movie about chase scenes and explosions? Was "Powerpoint Presentation" already taken?

Ha!  That's pretty good.  If they made a movie called "Powerpoint Presentation" I'd be so intrigued as to how such a thing got made that I'd probably check it out.

In movies I just saw news, I saw Crazy, Stupid Love, a couple weekends ago, which was one of those momentary diversion type of movies.  It was entertaining but ineffectual.  Also saw the Hangover 2 at the second run theatre last night - the highlight of the evening was that I had the best popcorn I'd had in years.  So good. Again though the movie was entertaining by ineffectual.

Oh man, Arrested Development marathons are the best! Just did one not too long ago. Hey, Jason Bateman was on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me the other week, and when asked about the movie, he said it was moving along quite nicely. Maybe he was fuck*ng with us, but it didn't sound like it.

Well, he's got a lot of range, so I think he'll do alright.
