Hmmm. I've never seen it. Is that a double-bill with something else?

BTW, do you know about Breakfast on Pluto, the new Neil Jordan film with Cillian Murphy as an Irish transvestite? Guess who plays a small supporting role as one of his lovers? That Sexy Voice himself, Mr Ferry!

actually, I just checked the Castro website, it's a double-bill with "North By Northwest", always worth seeing on a big screen, especially if you never have.

I'd bet it was Geoff who commented on it, as I believe there's a Jerry Garcia connection--I think he contributed to the soundtrack, and maybe the GD as well.
Let's get right to it.

Meant to post this over the weekend: saw Walk the Line and liked it a lot. Phoenix and Witherspoon are both terrific. Yes, it's a typical H'wood biopic in a lot of ways (it's quite similar to Ray) but well worth seeing.

In the midst of my traditional Thanksgiving weekend movie orgy, I just saw New York Doll, the docu about New York Dolls bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane, who after hitting rock bottom (suicide attempt, alcoholism) converted to Mormonism and, after years of telling his new (and skeptical) Mormon friends about his former rock'n'roll life, went to London for the NY Dolls reunion in 2004. A rather sad & sweet film, worth seeing, tho' it will show up on IFC and the Sundance Channel (which co-produced it) sooner than later.

"you can't wrap your arms around a memory", indeed.

I'm taking bets on how many critics this week embellish their reviews of AeonFlux with some variation on "Aeon Sux".

No reviews at all -- which is a REALLY bad sign.
