You watch Elephant now!

Maybe if you draw me for August MDC for for now that kind of behavior will not FLY

YES! YES! YES!

Are we doing films that look good? If so, I cannot assign Not Another Teen Movie.
Good lord do I look forward to editing you.

I'll give you kickbacks if you put "The Arch Duke of Cinegasm" in my posts.

Well, as you know

which is to say that this also has tiered pay rates.

Tomorrow I have a booking for Che part I. I do not have a booking for part II. I will not be able to see part II at any other stage during the fest. It is highly unlikely it will see cinema release outside of the festival.

Do I go and see Part I, knowing full well that it may be months or years before I see part II? Does part I stand up as a film on it's own? Should I just sleep in to be better rested for Love Exposure et al?

I'd skip it. Don't mean this in a nasty way, but judging from the tone of your recent reviews, I'm detecting a bit of a film burn-out. Give Love Exposure your full self, and then do the Che double-bill sometime in the future.

So, I'm thinking about catching a movie tomorrow.  I'm considering:

Funny People
The Hangover
Harry Potter 6
500 Days of summer
Afghan Star
Hump Day
Up
Hurt Locker
Orphan

I'm taking the week off beginning next Friday and plan to see several of these that are still hanging around theaters at that point.   Funny People and Potter will almost surely still be around, and probably Hurt Locker (hopefully expanded, it's only in 1 theater right now) and 500 Days of Summer.

I haven't seen Up yet and am still kicking myself for missing Wall-E on the big screen, and that seems to be on its way out.

Afghan Star is a small doc and is at the  Landmark which typically books these sorts of movies for only one week.  That would normally put it at the top of the list but documentaries don't lose much on dVd.

Oddly enough, I'm really drawn toward Orphan.  I feel like watching a horror movie and I like doing that on occasion in a theater with the big screen and the popcorn and the whole 9.  I had a blast at Drag Me to Hell and it reminded me again that I really do enjoy the occasional horror/scary movie.  Also, I'm a huge sucker for "bad seed" movies, including The Bad Seed, plus Omen, The Good Son...  And Ebert liked it and he rarely likes horror movies (although it's more of a scary/suspense movie, I gather, than a horror movie in terms of anything supernatural).


So I guess what I'm asking is, any reason why I should move something else up past Orphan or to put it another way, if you have seen Orphan and it sucks, I'd like to know before I plunk down my $$.

Thanks!

I'd say either The Hurt Locker or the doc I haven't heard about.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

500 Days of summer- best romantic comedy since High fidelity

Hurt Locker- best action movie in a decade
