The Howdy Doody bit is really interesting, really...something. I love it. Nice find. I will not read about Mad Men 3, however, as I only get to watch on DVD...

Well, I'm not a journalist, I've never conducted an interview - so obviously this tiny bit of the story didn't bother me at all. And it really is a tiny bit of the story. If she sucked at the interview, I'll credit two things she had going against her: a) she works for a small town newspaper and thus doesn't have the experience to jump up her interviewing game; b) it was clear from the moment she walked in that they had chemistry and were going to have to fight very hard not to fuck Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:45:29 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2010/01/27/crazy-heart-is-no-lifetime-movie/#IDComment54251731 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/28/do-the-cannes-cannes/#IDComment22615256 I really wanted to read that post, but then he started getting into details and I decided to wait until after I had seen the thing to read what he has to say....

Something that provokes you and haunts you and beats the shit out of you. I've only seen Dancer in the Dark once - years and years ago - but that movie sticks with me viscerally. I don't think I've ever felt so emotionally abused by a movie before. Holy shit is that movie intense.

And I won't even use the word posh. I like to call them highfalutin!

But give it a few years and try checking this out again. It's really great.

And, yeah, there actually already is a sequel to American Graffiti. Called....More American Graffiti. :( Wed, 27 May 2009 19:46:21 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22448072 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22448024 Don't get me wrong about Dazed and confused - I love it. I love the 70's feel and everything else. It's almost painful to watch it's so drenched in deep nostalgia. But I also love the 50's (or early 60's as is the case with American Graffiti). I am sort of in love with each decade of the 20th century. That's kinda how I like to categorize things. And I think it's fascinating that so many things so easily fall into decade categories. Another thing I love about American Graffiti is its California setting.

Me and Brian Bulger. Instead of rehearsing Evita, he and I went downstairs to the Ridge Park office and put the reservations on his credit card via Moviefone. We had to call like 5 times because Moviefone had a limit on how many you could buy. Jurassic Park (the first one now) was one of greatest things that could've happened to me at that point. I saw that movie at least 6 times in the theater that summer.

We have the same problems. But I've learned this: it doesn't like long responses - so if you can divide your response up into smaller ones, that's great. Sometimes just refershing the page can solve your problem. And yeah, I'm definitely with Josh - if you're writing a longer response DEFINITELY save it onto a Word doc or somewhere BEFORE hitting submitting your comment. Sorry for the trouble!!!!!

Which movie are you watching??

Genres can cross. Especially sub-sub-fake-genres....like "Summer" movies and "Baseball" movies.

Wed, 27 May 2009 18:05:06 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22441030 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22440614 A fine list, sir. A fine list indeed. My favorite picks of which being Jaws, Dazed and Confused, Caddyshack. The addition of Ernest Goes to Camp was a particularly brilliant coup. But I have a MAJOR movie you missed. HUGE. You're gonna kick the shit out of yourself for this one: American Graffiti. Shame. :) Wed, 27 May 2009 17:58:07 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22440614 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22440610 I really don't care for High Fidelity. Didn't like it when it came out. I later read the book - which is incredible. Then saw the movie again and liked it even less.... Wed, 27 May 2009 17:58:02 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/26/lists-best-summer-movies/#IDComment22440610 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/10/lists-underachieving-films-we-inexplicably-love/#IDComment22440248 I was curious - so I did look it up. She actually did two movies (not very good ones, necessarily) right after Drop Dead Fred. Besides that, I learned that the movie in question was definitely not the thing that ended her career. She got married to Kevin Kline and retired to raise her kids. That's it. By the way - one of her kids (Owen Kline) is amazing in the masterpiece Squid and the Whale.

It looks like a grim experience - grim even though it comes from a man who calls himself McG. I'm skipping the big movie this weekend - if I see something, it will be Adventureland (if I can still find it) or The Merry Gentleman (if I can find that). Other than that, I am crazy excited about Up opening next week. Fri, 22 May 2009 21:58:52 +0000 http://www.thedevilsavocado.com/2009/05/22/hey-star-trek-where-are-the-congas/#IDComment22074010
