5 comments

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This garnered huge applause at the midnight screening of Up I attended last night. It does hit all the right notes: the rivalry between Buzz and Woody and the larger rivalry between old-fashioned toys with their charming feeling of handcraftedness (though Woody was probably manufactured in Korea) … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Is it cuz I’m not a guy that I don’t get that whole first bit here, with the dude who complains that he’s not invited to the bachelor party and then is in his underwear? How does the one thing connect to the other? Or does it … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… What I hear, this is like Crash — the Cronenberg one — but instead of automobile accidents, it’s weird stuff on the Internet that gets these freaky people off.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Woody Allen has a new movie. I’m guessing it’s about a neurotic guy and a woman young enough to be his granddaughter: Oh, wow, I guessed right! Whatever Works opens in the U.S. on June 19; no U.K. release date has been announced.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh dear god, the Wayanses are at it again. I love how they manage to blend racial stereotypes and misogyny in the trailer alone, with just a hint of incest for flavor. Bravo. I wish I could say that it was a mystery why movies like this … more…
