What a beautiful film. Not sure if it’s good, to be honest, but beautiful? That cannot be disputed. Sean Penn uses every trick in the box, and with them he made a film that -in principle- tells a linear story but that feels much less simple than that, much more metaphoric, poetic, maybe even transcendental. They’re [...]

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? In Stanley Kramer’s 1967 movie "Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?", a whirlwind romance by an interracial couple forced their families to confront their attitudes about race. The male love interest, and lead was a young NEGRO played by Sydney Portier. Matters were only further complicated by the fact that this was no stereotypical NEGRO. Smart, accomplished, ARTICULATE, polite, and sophisticated. Well here we are some 40+ years later, and guess who may be coming to dinner? Yup, another smart, accomplished, ARTICULATE, polite, and sophisticated Negro, accept today they’re called Black. It seems America is in the midst of filming an updated version of that cinematic classic starring Barack Obama. This time around , however, the love interest is not a "white woman", it’s THE WHITE HOUSE! And just like the parents in 1967, America is being forced to confront it’s racial attitudes (the one’s it supposedly doesn’t have). You think Tilly had a fit when Sydney Portier’s character wanted to marry the sweet little white girl she had helped raise. Well Tilly honey, will likely piss in her panties when she sees who’s knocking at the front door of the white house. Guess who’s coming to dinner now Tilly? "Hi, my name is Barack Obama." - TMNK (google me)

This, along with the equally beautiful 'Jesse James,' was one of my favourite films of last year. I loved it.

You really do have a great, great voice, it was so awesome listening to you, even if it was just a test...and in that case, you passed with flying colours as far as I am concerned. Look forward to more of this podcasting in the future :)

Honda has revealed all-new City in Thailand and started selling it immediately. The new Honda City is powered by a 1.5 liter i-VTEC engine mated to either 5 speed manual or automatic transmission. It is 4,395mm long, 1,695mm expansive and 1,470mm tall, so it is faintly longer (+5mm), slightly wider (+5mm) but not as tall [...]

Jesse James, incidentally, also has a mostly unnecessary voice-over.

Well... it was unnecessary, perhaps, but I really liked the Jesse James voice-over, and I thought it added something, not information, perhaps, but mood, and a certain literariness (is that a word?).

That's a lot of dance to go see! I hope you make it to most of them and tell us all about it.

What about David Thewlis aka Lupin? He struck me as so colourless...not at all the way I had pictured Lupin, but perhaps that would be good for Watson.

Have you seen Day of Heaven by Terrence Malick, Hedwig? When I read your high points in Into the Wild it constant reminded me of that film. Also the same eye for the beauty in nature, human artefacts, and people themselves.

I think you nailed just about all of my own thoughts about this film, much of which has still lingered with me after having seen it just about exactly one year ago. The voice-over, and Penn's treatment of the parents played by William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden, are the greatest hindrances to completely accepting what is largely a profoundly beautiful film.
