St. Vincent.  Bill Murray is a crabby drunken old guy who ends up babysitting his neighbor's kid.  Naomi Watts is the pregnant Russian hooker.  Looks and feels like a Wes Anderson movie.  Maybe it is a Wes Anderson movie.

I liked it.  7.5/10.

Zarafa (2012)

A French cartoon about the first giraffe in France.  The story is a fine adventure yarn which follows a young African boy (Maki) as he journeys to Europe to try to bring the giraffe home.  I saw this with my wife at the art house back in Detroit.  There's a scene at the end where the giraffe can talk; but only if you listen with your heart.

Savonarola:   :rolleyes:
CB:  :cry:

Your mileage may vary.   ;)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I suppose if you eat the giraffe, you can listen with your stomach.  :hmm:

Next Time I Get Married. Lucille Ball is a young heiress who can't get her money unless she marries an American. Problem, she wants to marry a foreign dandy. So she hires some guy digging a ditch along the road to marry her, with the plan of getting a divorce and then marrying the foreigner. She rushes off with his dog still in her car, he comes after her and finds out who she is, then decides *he* needs to be the one to file for divorce first. Naturally, he kidnaps her and keeps her in his trailer while he drives to Reno. I think you can figure out where it goes from there...

It was a fun watch.

Well, naturally.

Everyone knows there is no more romantic action than kidnapping someone and keeping them in your trailer.  :)

Watched Apocalypse Now redux.  Adding 47 extra mintues did not help the movie in the slightest.  It is slightly more surreal, but the entire French colonial scene bring the film to a screeching stop.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Yeah, there's a reason Coppola cut it the first time around. It destroy's the film's pace, as great as the scene is taken by itself. I'm glad we got to see it, at least.

Reminds me of that Blade Runner definitive cut or whatever Ridley Scott released some years ago, with scenes he himself had cut from the original version, and that kill the film's pace too.

So, what are some good tv shows premiering / coming back shortly? I'm starved after three months of no GoT and abysmal second season of True Detective.

I try to like that show and never succeed.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
