Me neither, sorry.
Marc, I watched part of ETV and decided to watch in on big screen. It does deserve that... |

I had every intention of seeing it at the Midnight show at River Oaks last Saturday night, but wasn't feeling well and stayed home. To my knowledge, that's been the only screening in the Houston area.
I did respond to your earlier posts about it. |

| I am eager to see Enter The Void, but I might have to order the DVD from overseas. I don't think the film is the stuff of the local multiplexes and though Hamilton has a nice 'boutique-type' cinema, I'm not sure that penis cams are where it's at. There were a couple of very prim older ladies sitting next me during Black Swan; I may be doing them a disservice, but my guess is they were not expecting the lesbian sex scenes. They didn't smile, but neither they did flinch. Who knows, maybe they were a couple? I suspect my elder daughter considers me hopelessly dull. It's not that she doesn't know I had a youth - she plunders my old vinyl (records that is) - but rather that she prefers a different narrative. For all I know these two grand dames I sat next to at the cinema could have been 50's rockers or 60s ravers or happy hippy-chicks or.... |

Saw that recently. I have to admit I'm not a fan of Paz (Could barely stand her on Boardwalk Empire). Strange film - Can imagine it was quite a thing to watch on a big screen. I had to fast forward the beginning sequences - it was making dizzy. Very Very realistic car crash scene - scary. Unsettling and occasionally nauseating as it felt like a virtual reality ride through hell with occassional softer, more tranquil moments
Like Bug a really visceral experience -not sure I'd want to re-visit but interesting certainly |

Film School Thesis Generator
Being John Malkovich deconstructs the post-war crisis of masculinity through its use of mise-en-scene.
The poetic use of tableaux in Bonnie and Clyde launches visual salvos against existentialist philosophy. |

| I just enjoyed 'The Merry Gentleman' and it seems Mr. Keaton is getting so much better in both acting and directing. Very well thought out and executed. I'm finding the violence off camera work nowadays very refreshing. Funny, now they've even got the drying blood to color properly and I'm going the other way. |

Michael Keaton has always been a terrific actor. His 1988 one-two punch of Beetlejuice + Clean and Sober has rarely been matched. His resume is jam-packed with great performances. (Along with some egregious turkeys for sure.) |

Keaton was on Letterman years ago. This was when he took off acting for a while so he could spend time on the rodeo circuit. I believe he was a cutting horse guy. He told about the things he was doing and the friends he made while doing something he loved. He said that one day when he was at a bar with his rodeo friends one of the guys asked him, "So what do you do Mike?"
It was hilarious. The guys had no idea who he was. |

| I'll be watching Keaton play hockey next weekend. Guess he's an all-around athlete. |

| Looking at Keaton, I would not have instantly assumed that he participated in rodeos and hockey matches. Though, come to think of it, he did appear riding on a mechanical bull in Beetlejuice. |

Underneath the padding, a lot of hockey players are sinewy; some are downright wiry. (Old) example: Marty McSorley might be the type of hockey player that comes to mind for a lot of people, but he was exceptional in his beefiness. Guys don't get shirted like they used to - it's now a major penalty for your jersey to come loose - so you don't often see under the uniform these days.
In a desperate attempt to stay on topic, Keaton played a hockey player in 1986's Touch and Go - alas, a mediocre movie. |

| Keaton was impressive as the head of the CIA in a miniseries a few years ago. It made me wonder where he'd been all this time. |

The guy who comes to my mind is Wayne Gretzky, who was six feet weighed about 180 lb. Speed and intelligence are more important than sheer poundage.
Come to think of it, Gretzky wasn't noted for his speed, either, but he had great reflexes and instincts. |
