Do you have strong views on Kazan, Prospero?

Awfully sorry, did you have to change your underwear?

Kazan? On the waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire put him in the first rank of great directors but his behaviour under McCarthy was despicable. But I don't claim to know about his reasons in detail. It certainly cost him the friendship of the great Arthur Miller.

I don't like his voice, or his smug self-satisfied persona. He is a creep. It is worth watching to see him in prison garb, long may it stay that way.

Nobody has proved capable of bringing Fitzgerald's elegant prose to life on the big screen; every version of Gatsby focuses on the superficial rather than the substance, even the bw version with Alan Ladd. The only bearable adaptation I can remember was a BBC version of Tender is the Night made in the 80s with Peter Strauss and Mary Steenburgen brilliant as the faint disguise of Zelda.

Read Fitzgerald. Don't watch it.

The Warriors(1979)...
Say it with me:
"WAARRIORS..., COME OUT & PLAAAAY!"

Monsters, Inc...I have a very exciting life and refined taste in movies

Gravity.

Zero Gravity!
Good FX but lousy story!

BIG ASS SPIDER - love my crappy cheapo budget sci/horror flicks .. this one was actually quite good as it goes .. great great cover song of the pixies in the opening scene ...

BIG ASS SPIDER! opening scene [HD video 1080p] - YouTube
