Quote: Why wouldn't Demi Moore just fuck the head guy?
Billy already gave that answer; She was essentially playing herself and she is essentially, stupid. |

"Meredith... what happened to you...?"
"I got smart, Tom."
"No you didn't."
"........Oh." |

"There's no smoking in my new office, Tom."
"I just meant it was a nice office, Meredith."
".....Oh. Smokin' new jowls, Tom."
"That would hurt, Meredith, if I didn't know three years from now I would still be making blockbusters like The Game and Traffic while your career is doomed after the double whammy of The Scarlet Letter and GI Jane."
"I hate you, Tom. That's why I blew you."
"Not as much as everyone hated Striptease. That just blew in general." |

Well, of course. Gotta have your priorities straight. Have you seen Kung Fu Hustle yet? I think it's his best film to date. |

It smoked Billy. I agree. And I also don't see the problem with the age difference. I felt they were about ten to fifteen years apart, and frankly women who are really attracted to a man, either for sex or power are not going to let a bit of a jowl break the deal.
I dunno. Maybe I just liked Disclosure.
Lady - I saw Piccadilly last night. Loved it. REALLY! |

I don't have a problem with the age difference either.

They're not. They're 15-20 years apart.
"...and frankly women who are really attracted to a man, either for sex or power are not going to let a bit of a jowl break the deal."
But Douglas has no power in Disclosure. And the whole point was the Moore wasn't really attracted to him in the first place, right?
Whatever. Just as long as 55 year old men of average appearance and wealth get to keep having sex with insanely hot materialistic women 20 years younger than them, then all is right in Hollywood. |

No, but I saw Shaolin Soccer Sunday night. Kung Fu Hustle was sent yesterday, so should be here in a couple of days. It's turning out to be a lot of fun.
I'm getting all this material to write about, and I'm having a really hard time finishing. I've got five things written but not finished. I'm hoping Stephen Chow isn't going to be #6. %^{

Piccadilly was the role of a lifetime for AMW. And I just plain love the movie. (My sister didn't like who the murderer turned out to be, though).
Today's arcane project: finding out what silent Japanese clip shows up in a 1986 Japanese movie that I've only seen in Japanese (which I don't know). It keeps me off the streets, I suppose. |

Tell me this doesn't sound good! (From new DVD releases mentioned in the NYT)
Quote: Pray
The story would seem to be over after the first 10 minutes of "Pray," a Japanese film shot in a high-definition video format. The teenage heartthrob Tetsuji Tamayama plays a leather-jacketed, spiky-haired punk who, with the erratic assistance of his drug-addled girlfriend (Asami Mizukawa), has kidnapped a little girl. They plan to hold her for ransom in the spooky, abandoned hallways of the high school that Mr. Tamayama's character attended as a troubled adolescent. But a phone call to the girl's parents reveals the startling information that the child has been missing and presumed dead for a year. The punks have kidnapped a ghost, who, dressed in her crisply pressed school uniform, appears to be harboring an elaborate plan for vengeance. |

| Tetsuji Tamayama has also been in a film called Heaven's Bookstore that sounds interesting. He plays a pianist who has been fired, gotten drunk, and finds himself working at a bookstore in heaven for a period of time. |

Not to mention all the tempting stuff that's sitting around my living room waiting to be watched. |

| After reading Marilyn' review on her blog, I ordered the DVD of the 2002 Indian film (in Malayalam with English subtitles) "Shadow Kill" ("Nizhalkkuthu"). Made by the renowned director Adoor Gopalakrishnan, it is set in 1941 and is about an aging hangman in the service of the Maharaja of Travancore (now a part of the Southern Indian state of Kerala). The hangman Kaliyappan is deeply conflicted about his job, is full of guilt and doubts and his greatest dread is that he may someday hang someone who is innocent. He can cope with his job only through his intense devotion to goddess Kali from whom he continuously seeks guidance and forgiveness, and even then he needs to drink heavily to assuage his guilt, a habit that his son, a Gandhian freedom fighter, disapproves. The movie is set in the beautiful valleys and mountains of Kerala, is very sensitively directed, has the realism of Satyajit Ray's movies, but deals with subjects that are the stuff of Greek tragedies. |
