Lindy: Hutts reproduce asexually. There is no Mrs. the Hutt.

My Effortless Brilliance is without a doubt the worst "movie" i've ever seen. Arrogant, egotistical and worst of all, BORING.

Absolutely embarrassing. At least Sean will get mentioned when VH1 does those Where Are They Now/One-Hit Wonder specials.

Tropic Thunder looks cool, altho I've heard the "previews" at the start are the best part.

I hear that Baby Jabba and Baby Jar Jar ride on their Star Bikes and are executed by a drive-by light-sabering by Darth Sidious, actually. It's in part two, but they haven't released it in North America yet, since the sales are way better in Japan.

Frozen River and Vicky Christina Barcelona both seem like good choices to see. A number of people liked both.

I'll mostly be at the SIFF Cinema showings of Godard films, but I'll be giving the Fri/Sat movies a miss and probably next Friday as well. I hope they're better than the one with Bridget Bardot ... altho she does have a nice derriere and seeing Fritz Lang on screen made it all worth it.

@2: What other "movies" have you seen? I mean, you know Sean's character was supposed to be arrogant, and it doesn't necessarily follow that the movie shares that quality? Just checking.

This might be sacrilege, but Nouvelle Vague has a pretty cool music video that uses that clip from Band of Outsiders...

That's how I saw it originally, but I guess the original is from the Jean Luc McFrenchyfeet movie:

I'll be watching the Criterion DVDs of Breathless and Piere le Fou tonight.

Breathless sucks. Piere le Fou is fantastic though.
