That Canuck is in a lot of very good movies. And he's very good in them. A movie I will surely see. |

| I would guess Gosling. Man, people are all over the place on "Pines." Have heard some scathing comments, and some high praise. |

Sometimes there's God so quickly. Scary Movie 5 is totally bombing at the b.o. despite the Sheen-Lohan magic.  |

I was writing about "Pines". Cooper isn't in it, is he? |

He sure enough is. Cooper and Gosling. |

Enough already, Terence! Make a goddamned movie with a fucking story!
Sorry to break this news to you, but he hasn't done that since Badlands. Days of Heaven was breathtakingly beautiful to look at but dramatically nowhere. The New World was BBTLA as well but dramatically semi-inert. And The Thin Red Line (I realize this is arguable by some but not by me and Gary) was simply unspeakable--and not even that great to look at. As for The Tree of Life, it's juszzzzzzzzzz.
Will never ever ever ever see To the Wonder.
I liked The New World but it certainly demands a long attention span. I'm currently watching Werckmeister Harmonies which does the same thing: It's 225 minutes long and 39 takes. It's not a negative criticism: the camerawork is excellent and I like the effect. |

Bart...I saw On the Road. As a film it doesn't work as a drama.. But it does convey an atmosphere, a period piece. The music, the places, the youth. I think the sex was overdone.. But the characters made their mark.
The book is a gem...the original scroll... It can't be morphed into another media... But I'll wait for the opera, forget the musical.
Since reading this, I've discovered Queer and Allen Ginsbergs poetry. Love both! |

I guess you mean the original that was written by Kerouac, not the bowdlerized version by the book company. I read it a long long time ago and thought it was crap. Many years later I found out that it had been changed drastically. I read The Subterraneans a year or so after On The Road and I couldn't figure out how Kerourac's style had changed so much. I liked it, didn't love it. The movie of the book was wildly, laughably terrible. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. But a lot of unintentional laugh scenes. |

| Thanks, Befade, and nice to have you drop in. I figured the book might be hard to put to film. Falls under, "I read it. don't have to see it." |

| Anyone beside Marc seen "Pines" ? Only thing at the monstroplex that seems interesting right now. We were warned off "Trance." |

Is there someone you can talk with about these feelings?
Oh, wait, I see the italics. Never mind.
Then again... |
