Happy Halloween to All.

Hope you feel better Alexander.

Ya know, I believe Jolie is a very good actress who also has a lot of charisma. One of these days she’ll land a role that makes the most of her talents. It doesn’t sound like Changeling is it, though.

and for whatever reason the edit reply option. well isn’t there for the post i just threw up.

anyway friday night ans satyrday mid day. there’s gonna be a question/answer thing with whomever that did ‘the trouble the water’ doc. but seeing what my tolerance is for ultra realism/and non doc interest. i’ll be pasing. hmm…

i could be here friday or saturday.but i sort of doubt it…

yep this year of the documentary and this like the fourth or so directors q/a the rocl out town angelika has had…

there was one eith the director of ‘jihad for love’ and the singing revoutuion’ and is there one more i’m forgetting ??? i think so…

aside from ‘yoing at heart’ which i guess wasn’t the most purre doc thing. i’ve been documenatrt free this year.

and i’n slighly curious more for the q&a part than the movie. but maybe not curious enough to go. that’s exacly what i said the last time a q&a hit too. ha ha…

Never fails to crack me up.

You’re always saying that you’re a cranky old man before your time, Craigster. I never bought that at all.

I was highly skeptical but I GUESS it could be true.

Your future awaits…?

I’m definitely looking forward to ZACK AND MIRI…I missed the press screening last month but plan to see it sometime this weekend.

Daniel, against my better judgement, I have a good feeling about Role Models. The trailer made me laugh. Paul Rudd deserves to be the leading man of a movie that doesn’t suck. And Elizabeth Banks.

I’m dying to see Dear Zachary and Fears of the Dark, but only the latter is on a calendar here, and even then not for a few weeks.

I might see ZM with some friends, but just as likely not. What Just Happened is also arriving, but I’m not in a major rush to see it.

Tonight I’m seeing a promo of Role Models. Is there any chance it will be good? I’ll report back.

One cool weekend offering is a screening of I’m Not There with an intro and post-discussion with Rolling Stone writer/Dylan biographer Greil Marcus on Saturday night. Chances are I’m seeing an Arthur Miller play at the Guthrie Theater instead, but otherwise I probably would have been all over that opportunity. Who knows, I may be kicking myself over it anyway.

If possible I’m just kind of hoping to take it easy this weekend. Maybe I’m even a little thankful I don’t have a week-long fest coming up like you do, Craig. I need to recharge my batteries a bit for the stretch run Nov-Jan.

I Just. Want. MY. Son. Back!

Angelina kind of worked for me in the trailer, but in large doses it might not be so fun. I’m still interested, but I missed it last week and the odds of me seeing it are falling.

Can’t muster any enthusiasm for The Changeling. We’ll see if the Monday morning reports change my mind.

Plus, Angelina in the trailer is too reminiscent of the screeching Reese in Rendition. And too, what’s with Jolie and all the Oscar-bait kidnapped family member stories? Second in a row.

Zack and Miri will probably be the first Kevin Smith movie I’ve seen in a while, since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, though I do like Reaper on the CW, if that counts. At his best, he knows how to do raunchy comedy–by finding things that are inherently very funny but that happen to be off-color, rather than the other way around, off-color shock value as humor regardless of the presence of funny.

Because of work conflicts I missed a chance to see Dear Zachary at a documentary film festival here. The trailer itself made me cry, and I really want to see it. Bummed it was so close, and yet not for me.

Re: The Other End of the Line, I know a couple who met that way, through telemarketing. They were both Americans, but odd.
