I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I just rewatched the trailer and yeah, it’s still something.
The year 2000 was wild for cinema. I miss those years when there was a little something for everyone and any kind of film could be a hit or a flop.
Janeane Garofalo?
I’m now wishing that all of his roles had gone to either Tom Holland, Lucas Hedges or Skyler Gisondo.
Uncle Pumblechook. Miss Havisham. Fred Kedgwick. Wilkins Micawber. Betsy Trotwood. Walter Giblets. Seth Pecksniff. Madame Defarge. Joe Gargery. Bill Sikes. Sarah Durkin. Uriah Heep. Amy Dorrit. Nicholas Nickleby. Edward Hulp. Mr. Fezziwig. Mr. Murdstone. The Artful Dodger. Ruth Bumbershoot.
Attempting to finally watch all of Great Expectations (1946) in one sitting and once again marvelling at Dickens’s ability to invent character names. He was such a natural at it.
One of my personal favourites, although it’s not quite the same thing.:

Today in 1904 Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was born.
Co-signed, although Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is up there. It’s a miracle that either of those movies got made.
I’m trying to find the right time to plan a double feature of this and The Phantom Tollbooth (1970), which is pretty much just the animated 5,000 Fingers.
He made it look so easy.
Would you wish Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss?
Would you, could you on a moose?
Would you, could you in the dark?
Would you, could you in the park?
Would you, could you in Rochester?
Would you, could you in a sou’wester?
Would you, could you in the circus?
Would you, could you with a Flerkus?
Marvin Schwarz (Al Pacino) saying “What a picture.” in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood (2019).
Just finished watching The Wild Bunch (1969) for the first time. Wow!
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2022)
It’s good, but it’s not as complex or as emotionally-charged as The Children’s Hour.
Yep! It was a remake of the These Three (1936). Both movies were adaptations of the 1934 Lillian Hellman play The Children’s Hour, but These Three abandoned the lesbian aspects of Karen and Martha’s relationship in order avoid the wrath of the Hays Code.
Four remakes that I like better than the original.
Quote with yours!
-A mysterious woman with a dark secret
-A friendly know-it-all doorman/bartender/next-door neighbour the main character tells all their problems to
-A short-tempered boss who flies off the handle at the most minor things
-A girl-next-door type who is the true love interest of the story

Your outdated pop music references are gonna stay, for more than just a day.
“Firestorm, that’s a hell of a picture.”
Also stars Teyana Taylor, Peter Stormare, Ben Foster, Nico Parker, Jack White, Sara Rue, Andrea Martin and Benjamin Bratt.
Blade (Regé-Jean Page) is sent back in time by Jamal Afari (Keith David) to kill Drusilla (Samara Weaving), the daughter of Dracula, who is intending to use the power of time travel to create an army of vampires in order to unleash 1000 years of darkness on the Earth.
There you go Hollywood!
I have never seen Blade (1998) in my life and here’s my pitch for a Blade movie, Blade Redux.:
Olympic curler Marc Kennedy.
Barenaked Ladies bassist Jim Creeggan.
Heading to see a Barenaked Ladies tribute band, so here’s Team Canada Olympic curler Marc Kennedy next to Barenaked Ladies bassist Jim Creeggan. 🇨🇦
My favourite scene from Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.:
Heathcliff: “How can you stand here beside me and pretend not to remember? Not to know that my heart is breaking for you? That your face is the wonderful light burning in all this darkness?”
Cathy: “AAACK!”
I also do one of Roger Rabbit.
He clearly wouldn’t get me. I’m a younger Millennial who does impressions of Bullwinkle, Ludwig Von Drake, Ed Wynn, Mr. Magoo, Peter Lorre, Gomer Pyle, Hans Conreid and Walter Winchell. I especially pride myself on my Ed Wynn.
Quentin Tarantino is convinced no one actually likes ‘Matinee’: “I don’t believe anybody”
Okay! Now he’s gone too far.
Going to see my favourite movie from 1989, Do the Right Thing, on the big screen for the first time ever. Looking forward to it.🍿
I was glad to hear about his passing from you, rather than from a tabloid magazine or TMZ. He will be fondly remembered. He’s absolutely terrific in The Great Santini (1979) and Tender Mercies (1983).
