🎬 The Magus
”If I had to live my life again, I’d do everything the same, except that I wouldn’t see The Magus."
Woody Allen
Definitely with him. One of the best books ever - coupled with one of the worst films - BUT - in the right hands … a remake would be awesome.
Never saw it - but I think this was the story’s second celluloid outing … I hated the third - so had no plans for the fourth … but the reviews are too good.
They’re all sewing away …. and I see Somner run through the scene and say, “Alright, you gotta get this dress ready! Here we go! Everybody ready and ACTION!”
And they all kept sewing at exactly the same pace they had been sewing and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Paul Thomas Anderson
🎬 The Hundred Foot Journey
I saw something this morning float by in the stream claiming that France has the ‘best restaurant in the world’. Quite apart from a personal objection to applying words like ‘best’ to something that is a qualitative opinion … I was reminded of this exchange from the movie.
Madame Mallory
”What is this flavor that is fighting against the chicken ?”
Hassan
”I added some spices for flavor to the sauce, and coriander for garnish and freshness.”
Madame Mallory
”But why change a recipe that is 200 years old ?”
Hassan
”Because, madam, maybe 200 years is long enough."
🎬 3:10 To Yuma … on my list
3:17 To Paris … not on my list
Yes … I know it’s “15:17 To Paris” … but that spoiled the flow.
🎬 AT IMDB : The Shape of Water
RATING : 🌟🌟
COMMENTS : Didn’t want to see it based on the ads … and then it won all of those nominations. Still wish I hadn’t bothered.
I had an idea to add 🎬 to the discover thread maybe also 👩🏽 to help us find more diverse people to follow?
Are we adding 🎬 to the 📚 and 🎵 search capability any time soon?
