movies

[TimeForGuinness]

Del Toro is a master of using really brilliant CGI without the story ever becoming about the CGI. The same applies to his non-CGI/other f/x films like "Devil's Backbone". He could've made the same movies with puppets and they'd still be great stories.

Excellent way of putting it...even with Hellboy, it's just an excellent story.

He's quite a storyteller. I almost never watch a movie with the director's comments on but I thought I would show my daughter what that was all about so we turned them on and watched PL again intending to cut it off after 5 or 10 minutes. It was so fascinating that we ended up watching- really listening to- the whole thing. A seminar on film really.

If you want to learn your daughter good about movies, get a Criterion film and watch with the commentary on. There are a few that are kid-friendly, and I know you like to expose her to better films and such.

I recommend "Salo".

Watch the Bogdanovich/Ebert commentaries for Citizen Kane.

I'd like commentaries more if I could just listen to them, frankly. If I turn on the movie with the commentary, I invariably think, "[expletive] this, I could just watch the movie." I usually end up taking in most of my extracurricular info from reading. I rarely watch special features. Almost never, really.

I don't think I'll take you up on your recommendation. Also, I'm not really learning her, we're just watching something we find really great to watch.

Oh Holy [expletive], I laughed so loud in my office.

except when a film is based on a true story -then its worth a look.

Criterion is about to release it on Blu-Ray. I love the cover art.
