Shrit

True Romance (11) over Shrek (22)

I have never seen True Romance. I have seen Shrek.

Before Sunrise (10) over Decalogue (23)

I have seen several installments of Decalogue, none of which exactly make you want to take a last-minute weekend vacation to Warsaw in February. Actually, the bits I have seen were quite good, but not the stuff of which Movie Death Matches are made. Neither, for that matter, is Before Sunrise, which is admittedly an appealing film. Julie Delpy ultimately assuages any misgivings one might have about Ethan Hawke and his seven facial hairs. Spoiler alert: She also assuages his ass.

Comments:
I'm kind of like Lee. I'd rather watch Ethan Hawke masturbate while he pontificates about life than sit through a movie that Roger Ebert once taught an entire class at NYU film school about.
 
But Roger Ebert was masturbating while he taught that class.

So. It's all gooood.
 
Eric, I'm glad we're on the same page. By the way, did you know that Roger Ebert once declared a fatwa against anyone who preferred Batman to Magnolia? Good thing Roeper repealed that shit when Ebert was down with the gout.
 
joel, you made me laugh. well played sir.


(i was trying not to laugh throughout all of 2007. guess i can start preparing for 2008)
