Bernard Fox reminds me of David Tomlinson.

I haven’t read either book but I only recently figured out that Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a WWII Mary Poppins. It even features David Tomlinson. Angela Lansbury is delightful as Miss Eglantine Price. The animal king is prejudiced against humans. I like the hookers and Caribbean regiment on Portobello Road.

Gaslight was so rather obvious to me that pert Angela Lansbury was all that kept me watching. Am I jaded? What the hell did she like about her husband to begin with?

Did Celebrity Deathmatch ever do Lee Marvin vs. James Coburn? Robot Chicken?

When is the new Futurama going to start? I must say I found the greedy aliens of Bender’s Big Score to be rather offensively Jewishy. And why did they have to include Fry’s dead dog? I would have preferred more of Kif. I love that Santa’s elves are making Binky toys!

Are there lines out the men’s room doors at Tim & Eric’s live shows? I wonder if afterward the janitorial staff of those venues find the men’s rooms much cleaner than normal.

Is there an episode guide for It Takes a Thief? Sometimes it’s fun just for the Italian scenery.

Werckmeister Harmonies has such great pacing and tempo. That’s what makes the super-long shots bearable. It wasn’t till 1:25 that I had any idea of when it takes place. Where did they get those people to be the followers? Those faces! You can’t do that with makeup.

I like Hitchcock but Family Plot was boring for the first 1:20. Karen Black with William Devane is like a no-talent contest.

Manoushe made me think about making Gypsies my film studies focus area. I like folklore and ethnic studies. I love how the witch in Night Watch is sort of an urban gypsy. When she and Anton see each other again in Day Watch, he’s like, “hey grandma, thanks for ruining my life.” And she says that because of him she did time as a toad. Manoushe’s chicken with a baby doll head reminded me of Night Watch, too. Its seventies-style sound effects are hilarious, but the sets and (sweat-stained) costumes and the moon– the food! Is that a chocolate neckalce?! The unibrowed princess! Were the filmmakers filling some sort of little person quota? Was it really made in 1990? It seems much older. Kind of reminded me of Tuvalu, but I’m not sure why.
