The librarian

watched "Cowards Bend The Knee" - a silent film from Guy Maddin. clever, cheeky and fun. Great old school B&W filmed with more vaseline on the lens than a Doug Sirk movie. A member of The Winnipeg Maroons leaves his Girlfriend for an evil (but HOTT) Asian girl while the girlfriend is having a backstreet abortion in the back of a beauty parlor.

Eventually the Asian girl chops off his hands and the ghost starts dating his Dad. Very Maddin. Very.

Also watched "Flicker" an interesting if a bit dull doc about Brion Gysin, who with Burroughs invented "the cut-up" and really is responsible for mashups of all sorts online now.
Informative but not in a juicy gossipy way I was hoping for. The Dream Machine is central to the doc. I'd love to have one. I may make one.

"hunger" (Steve McQueen) no not the dead one, that's zombie Steve McQueen.

Young patchily bearded Irishmen go to Prison. British prison. Ow. British Prison hurts. a lot. But. You get to have great "My Dinner with Andre" style conversations with a priest sometimes. Margaret Thatcher does some V/o work. Does not come off sympathetically at all. nope. There's some unintentional laughs during the harrowing denouement - The actual hunger strike, as a series of plates with distinctly British cuisine sit uneaten by the hunger striker. British food is a great diet aid it seems.

Overall a brisk bit of bleak. Though I'm not sure what the point of it all is.

District 9. For a so called original story they ripped a lot of stuff of of an old Outer Limits (90's verrsion) episode. Still a good movie though.

We got up and walked out of it last night, and went into "The Ugly Truth" instead. Far too graphic for me, I'm afraid.

Warehouse 13- Just saw this pilot of a new series. Ouch. And they actually green lit it? Its like a town called eureka only worse. It doesn't even get its facts right; some bloke called farnsworth invented tv?

District 9. It was a decent movie.

I can't believe that only Hab and I are the only ones to see Inglourious Basterds so far.

I'll see it on tuesday. 1st September seems appropriate to watch a WW2 movie.

Didn't Siege see it?

The Wind that Shakes the Barely.  Cillian Murphy is great, some good acting, but Loach's politics are lame and his portrayal of terrorists overly romantic.  And no, Damien O'Donovan, Ireland wasn't worth it.   

[frunk]

I've seen it.  Twice.  I liked it, but it wasn't until the second showing that I came down firmly on the pro side.

September 1st 2009 seems especially auspicious-70 years!

Are you saying he didn't? He won a lawsuit against RCA proving he did.

It's who professor Farnsworth from Futurama is named after.

I saw the new tarantino last week. Pretty good. I loved the unnecessary gore

Tyr probably believes that some Russian invented television.
