Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Topic: Movies 9:55 am EDT, Jun 24, 2004

Three wild women in three fast cars take time off from stripping in clubs to go on a murder rampage. They kidnap and drug the girlfriend of one of their victims and hole up at a secluded ranch owned by a wheelchair-bound man and his two sons.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!


Band of Brothers
Topic: Movies 9:23 am EDT, Jun 24, 2004

An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry -- Easy Company -- from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details.

Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Topic: Movies 9:48 am EDT, Jun  1, 2004

This entire film could be viewed as a story of the telecom industry, but two scenes in particular come to mind today.

FATHER: Please! Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. We are here today to witness the union of two young people in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock. Unfortunately, one of them, my son Herbert, has just fallen to his death.

GUESTS: Oh! Oh no!

FATHER: But I don't want to think I've not lost a son, so much as... gained a daughter!

[clap clap clap] For, since the tragic death of her father--

GUEST #2: He's not quite dead!

FATHER: Since the near fatal wounding of her father--

GUEST #2: He's getting better!

FATHER: For, since her own father, who, when he seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him.

BRIDE'S FATHER: Uugh!

GUEST #2: Oh, he's died!

-------------

LAUNCELOT: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.

GALAHAD: I don't think I was.

LAUNCELOT: Yes you were. You were in terrible peril.

GALAHAD: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.

LAUNCELOT: No, it's too perilous.

GALAHAD: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.

LAUNCELOT: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on!

GALAHAD: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?

LAUNCELOT: No. It's unhealthy.

GALAHAD: I bet you're gay.

LAUNCELOT: No I'm not.

Hollywood's Casting Problem: Who Will Run the MPAA?
Topic: Movies 10:45 am EDT, May 30, 2004

Doesn't anyone want to run the MPAA?

Who wouldn't want a million dollars a year to plump for Tom Cruise instead of, say, biomedical tax credits?

Oddly, not too many folks.

The job is becoming even harder. The crisis of worldwide movie piracy, held at bay only by technological limits, threatens to sink the movie industry entirely, as it may the music business.

Hilary Rosen asked, "If there are easier jobs available, for more money, then why take a hard job?"

Here's to apathy!

Hollywood's Casting Problem: Who Will Run the MPAA?


The Wizard of Oz
Topic: Movies 4:57 pm EDT, May 29, 2004

Everyone knows The Wizard of Oz. No explanation is required. So, some quotes:

"For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"

"Professor Marvel never guesses. He knows!"

"Come along Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples."
"Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?"

"With thoughts I'll be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln, if I only had a brain"

"Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What have they got that I ain't got?"
"Courage!"
"You can say that again!"

"I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!"

"My Goodness, what a fuss you're making. Well naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward."
"You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself."

"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."

"Where do you want to be oiled first?"

And it just goes on and on ...

"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?"

Hickory: "All right, Mrs. Gale. But someday, they're going to erect a statue to me in this town."
Auntie Em: "Well, don't start posing for it now."

"You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe."

"We must be over the rainbow!"

The Wizard of Oz
