Ever time I turn around Morgan Spurlock is taking some idea I had 10 years ago and making a movie and or TV show about it. Let me tell you right now it kinda pisses me off. It also makes me think that maybe I need to meet and spend time with this fella. Maybe we could make gold together?
However I am thinking it would likely go something like:
Jim: I have this great idea for a movie for about Space Hotdogs, the people that make them and the storied lives they live.
In the front end of Cloverfield they have released a teaser trailer for the new Star Trek film. I have my whole body crossed that this director can save the franchise.
Many months ago Charlie came in and informed me that the new Pride and Prejudice was just fantastic. I said, you are so gay, which he replied, “yes, very happy! Thank you”
I respect his judgment on movies, he has been off the mark only a few times in the last 20 years. E.T. being the most notable. So, based on his recommendation I put Pride and Prejudice in the online que, and forgot all about it.
Last night while I was rendering and uploading The Clip Show, I watched this “fantastic” movie. I laughed, I cried, I took a couple of bathroom breaks and I was delightfully surprised. The acting, cinematography and direction were top notch. There a couple of shots in the movie were I actually paused it, rewound the DVD and tried to figure out how in the hell they did it!??! It is a truly beautiful film. Easily my favorite shot is towards the end when Elizabeth and Darcy meet on the field and come together with the sun behind them. (check the youtube clip above)
I guess the gay is on the other foot now. Check out this film, it will not disapoint. Thanks again Chuck!
