I have always been a huge fan of the use of secondary titles in film (eg: Air Bud: Golden Receiver; Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit) and would love to see the industry wade into the realm of tertiary titles, such as Roadhouse 2: Revenge of the Deuce: The Deuce Returns.

A photography-hobbyist friend sent me a pic she took. Funny how rare it is to be on film these days.

Dialogue between Lu Anne and Walker discussing a rainbow and their situation, with themes of hope and despair
Been working on a writing project that involves movie-making so have been reading all the novels that center on that I can find. Seems like I inevitably like them. Already had Fitzgerald's Last Tycoon and Isherwood's Prater Violet on my list of favorites, but added Day of the Locust and now Children of Light by Robert Stone.

It started off as a sort of tamer Hunter S. Thompson hedonist travelogue--light, fun reading--but wound its way to an exploration of love and mental illness with a surprisingly devastating ending. Sort of book that makes you want to know the author.

Long been a fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, so when I recently learned he'd made a kid's movie that slipped under my radar (The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet), I watched it with my sons. Sammy was delighted by a scene in which the title character evades capture by posing as a cardboard cutout, and he now constantly mimics it.

I had decided that THE LIGHTHOUSE was going to be one of my new favorite movies. THE LIGHTHOUSE is not one of my new favorite movies.

My Favorite Parts of the Wikipedia Entry for the 2007 film WHO'S YOUR CADDY? 1. The film was released on July 27, 2007, in the United States to universally negative reviews and commercial failure. 2. Big Boi as Christopher "C-Note" Hawkins, Bruce Bruce as Golf-Ball Eddie, Finesse Mitchell as Dread, JEFFREY JONES AS CUMMINGS 3. [Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips] stated that during their dinner with the former president, Clinton stated that he loves comedies and his favorite comedy is WHO'S YOUR CADDY?

Finally got to see Lady Bird last night and was particularly fascinated to discover that it's a "period" film about a girl graduating high school in 2003 (just like me!). The differences between the life of a high school senior then and now are interestingly subtle and huge. Great movie--made me nostalgic for high school...

Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, Burns & Allen, and GLOVER & PESCI. If you haven't seen GONE FISHIN' yet, do yourself a favor. It is a masterwork.

They should make a movie in which every character is played by a totally jacked body builder, but it's never alluded to. Maybe it's about some totally jacked overworked hedge fund manager and his totally jacked wife who is always hanging out with her zany best friend who is totally jacked but then one day the hedge fund manager's totally jacked estranged father is on his death bed and upon returning to his small hometown, he learns what really matters in life via the off-color wisdom of the elderly totally jacked town barber. You really have to visualize it. Like these guys can't even put their arms down all the way and yet no one seems to notice it and they're never seen exercising and they sit around in restaurants sipping wine in suits that look like they're about to burst.
