― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmm... I think Barbershop, xXx and... um... I can't remember!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon
One Hour Photo
My Big Fat Crappy Movie

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:26 (twenty-three years ago)

actually I lied. I liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but not quite as much as everyone else.

i don't really like going to the pictures.

― michael wells (michael w.), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:35 (twenty-three years ago)

hey Graham, Swimfan is hilarious innit?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm hopeless at this game.
The Bourne Identity, and (I think) One Hour Photo & L'Auberge Espagnole

Ah, new messages alert - er, Road To Perdition instead of one of the above maybe.

― Jeff W, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Harry Smith's "Film #18: Mahagonny," Secretary, Spirited Away. Come to think of it, I don't think I can think of three less similar films easily...

― Douglas, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick, How was Lovely & Amazing? I really like Catherine Keener...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I do too. I liked it a lot. She was brilliant, but so was everyone else.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

One Hour Photo, 10 (Abbas Kiarostami not Blake Edwards), Talk to Her.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:40 (twenty-three years ago)

What's 'Spirited Away' like, Douglas? It's on in Brussels now, but I have the choice of Japanese dialogue with FR/NL subtitles or a version dubbed into French. So I think I'm gonna have trouble following it. On the other hand, it made some people's all time Top10 lists in that recent Sight & Sound poll, so maybe it's worth the struggle...

― Jeff W, Monday, 14 October 2002 13:41 (twenty-three years ago)

The Servant
The Eye
The Devil Doll

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 14 October 2002 13:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Swimfan was ace, expecially imagining that really was Ms Fielding as psycho. It was really cruel the way it ended, she just needed help.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 14 October 2002 14:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Road to Perdition

Sweet Sixteen

Goldmember

― Madchen, Monday, 14 October 2002 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

expecially imagining that really was Ms Fielding as psycho.

Am I missing something, or should I just watch the film?

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 14 October 2002 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't get out much (not to mention it's always 20 quid every time i go what with two tickets and snackage):

blade 2 (with luke goss!)
starwars ep 2
monsters inc

these are all at the new warner village in shepherd's bush. nice new cinema, steeply raked, comfortable seats. never been more than a quarter full any time i've been either.

You're probably missing this discussion here.

― Graham (graham), Monday, 14 October 2002 15:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Uh, I can only remember Minority Report.

im gonna get you sucka
scooby doo
men in black two

― s trife (simon_tr), Monday, 14 October 2002 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

24 Hour Party People (terrific and much funnier than I was expecting)

Igby Goes Down (terrible - should be called Igby Goes Down on Himself for it's unrelenting depiction of inane self-absorption - and that Ryan Phillip-ee-or-ay cannot act! He's proven this in several films now, so wake up casting directors. The Culkin kid is actually good, but I have absolutely no sympathy for the character)

Spirited Away (see it subtitled - even if you don't read dutch or french - the visuals are unbelievable and the movie might be even cooler without understanding exactly what is going on)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 14 October 2002 16:42 (twenty-three years ago)

In order of preference:

1. Road to perdition
2. Red Dragon
3. Signs

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 14 October 2002 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Barbershop (and then hopped to Minority Report)
Gosford Park
Metropolis (the anime)

I keep meaning to see Secretary, since the main character's name is Lee.

― Leee (Leee), Monday, 14 October 2002 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

is spirited away going to be released in the UK soon?

― dave k, Monday, 14 October 2002 17:59 (twenty-three years ago)

They were three of the films in the NFT's Kon Ichikawa season.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

men in black II, bourne identity and before that i can't remember.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon (entertaining crap)
Lovely and Amazing (great)
Full Frontal (had moments)

― dan (dan), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

One Hour Photo - not very good is it? Still, the message seems to have finally gotten through to Robin Williams: Enough of the gooey sentimentalis[t]m goh-dammit.
My Little Eye - Was hoping that someone had finally taken up the challenge left by Blair Witch but it was a bit of a let down. Some fine moments though.
Once Upon A Time In The Midlands - Not Shaun Meadows' best but the best Brit flick this year behind 24hr Party People.

― DavidM (DavidM), Monday, 14 October 2002 21:08 (twenty-three years ago)

The Grinch
American Psycho
Austin Powers II

I don't go to the cinema much, do I?

― Chriddof (Chriddof), Monday, 14 October 2002 22:18 (twenty-three years ago)

my big fat greek wedding, austin powers iii, and then some other thing in the summer (it might've been minority report, i dunno)

― Maria (Maria), Monday, 14 October 2002 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

royal tenenbaums, 24 hour party people.. can't remember the third..

Lilo & Stitch, Rules of Attraction, 400 Blows

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 02:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Garage Days
Austin Powers: Gold Member
Can't rememember the third last one - saw it at The George in St Kilda in August. Hope it was good.

― toraneko (toraneko), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 02:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon, that Wilco movie, Big Fat greek Wedding

1) not bad
2) artless, useless docu, and wilco are just pretty boring as people!
3) nothing more depressing than contrived feelgoodness. irritating.

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 15 October 2002 04:05 (twenty-three years ago)

lord of the rings, that shitty planet of the apes movie, before that i can't remember. mighta been the filth & the fury.

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 04:26 (twenty-three years ago)

the last three i can remember are men in black 2, mulholland drive and... and...

― Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 05:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Not including a wonderfully indulgent Fassbinder Season at the local Film Society [which isn't really in a theatre anyway, so much as a lecture theatre], my last three excursions to the cinemaaaaah would probably be '24 Hour Party People', some blah French festival film that looked loads better in the programme, and hrm...woulda been either 'Ghost World', 'Waking Life' or 'Kissing Jessica Stein'...film fests tend to warp my perceptions of time...

― petra jane (petra jane), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 05:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Mullholland Drive
Goldmember
About A Boy

At least, that is what I think it was - I have a feeling I am forgetting summat though.

― Livvie, Tuesday, 15 October 2002 07:50 (twenty-three years ago)

toraneko - you saw 'garage days'? are you in australia? i was an extra in that film! is there a scene in it where everybody runs out of a club and hurls due to 'bad drugs'? i'm back in england now so i may never get to see it, i'd just like to know it wasn't all in vain.

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 08:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Dragon
Road to Perdition
The Kid Stays in the Picture

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 08:26 (twenty-three years ago)

What is it with this theatre nonsense anyway - I see movies in the cinema and leave theatres to show plays.

(You can add My Little Eye to that list now - a thoroughly nasty piece of low budget suspense - to call it horror might be to lead peoples expectations). I don't know you wait for a horror movie with the word eye in the title and then tywo come along at once...

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 08:44 (twenty-three years ago)

lost in la mancha, spider, donnie darko

― bob zemko (bob), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 09:21 (twenty-three years ago)

i need my time out subscription badly

― bob zemko (bob), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 09:23 (twenty-three years ago)

oh i just remembered one i saw back between when i saw the apes movie & the sex pistols movie - snakeskin. i was in it too (as "drummer of band in bar" & "guy you can't really see in the back of passing car")

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 09:25 (twenty-three years ago)

- My Big Fat Greek Wedding (When Harry Met Sally without the edge. or timing. I laughed out loud at twice but at the 'wrong' bits because it was corny and was otherwise bored. apparently loved by people who watch too much ITV. inane)
- The Bourne Identity (outrageously violent for a film rated '15'. still enjoyed though.)
- Minority Report (way too long, a bit overworked - typical Spielberg - but okay. nice de-saturated colours.)

― Andrew Alleyne (Android Elvis), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

(I just realized that my third film was "Goldmember".)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 21:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Ooh, I just got my stack of tickets for the upcoming London Film Festival through - all the ones I applied for, including the new Paul Thomas Anderson and Lukas Moodyson.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

hey me and meg are going to the paul trouble anderson one too (only because she told me it was only an hour and a half unlike effing jeffing magnoliARSE, there's THREE AND A BIT HOURS of my life i'll never get back...)

Signs
DRAGONS (ie reign of fire)
Goldmember

all at odeon holloway road. LFF is also exciting as it will be the first time i will have been to another cinema (odeon Leicester square) in london apart from holloway road...

i don't like films much me...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 21:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you getting the Sunday 17th evening showing of the Anderson? Actually I might post the nine I'm going to, see if anyone is going to the same ones and fancies meeting. I'll do it tomorrow though, because I'm going to bed now.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Hrm...working backwards, it would have been Spirited Away, 24 Hour Party People and Attack of the Clones. I think. The next film to see isn't due until December 18...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 October 2002 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

eight months pass...

Bend it Like Beckham, Bruce Almighty, and Matrix Reloaded.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

X-Men 2, Matrix Reloaded, and Spirited Away -- but I'm going to see House of a Thousand Corpses in a couple hours.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Capturing the Friedmans, Spellbound, and Lilya 4-Ever

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Working backwards again, A Mighty Wind, The Two Towers and Spirited Away. Sounds about right.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Jackass The Movie
X-Men 2
Matrix Reloaded (twice)

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

If I spotted you a pronoun and preposition, you could make one movie with those three titles.

(Whoops, that was meant for Ned, but I will pretend it applies to stevem as well.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Depressingly (or admirably,) working backward in time:

1. The Two Towers
2. The Two Towers
3. The Fellowship of the Ring

(I don't like theatres, in general.)

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i think the americans are lucky to have so many authentic art deco cinemas remanining, it would appear.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

at the Cinerama, which I love: X-Men 2
and elsewhere: Matrix 2 & The Italian Job (so cute! I loved that movie)

― lyra (lyra), Friday, 20 June 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh, working backward, what I remember -

Identity
25th Hour
Confessions of A Dangerous Mind
The Bourne Identity

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 20 June 2003 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Working backwards...

1. Once Upon A Time In America (original Leone cut)
2. Matrix Reloaded
3. Kiss Me Deadly

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Friday, 20 June 2003 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

backwards...igby goes down, dolls, matrix reloaded.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 20 June 2003 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

In reverse chronological order:

1. 2 Fast 2 Furious
2. Matrix Reloaded
3. Matrix Reloaded

I saw it twice you see.

― N. Ron, Friday, 20 June 2003 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Vanilla Sky
Abandon
Spirited Away

(unintentionally that chronological list also is worst-to-best)

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 21 June 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

and I saw Abandon with Carey cuz the Ring was packed, not cuz I'm a big Katie Holmes or Benji Bratt fan. Though the film DID make me a Zooey Deschanel fan!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 21 June 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

the hulk, morvern callar, and l'auberge espagnol

― Josh (Josh), Saturday, 21 June 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

The Weather Underground, Rememberance of Things to Come, A Mighty Wind.

― hstencil, Saturday, 21 June 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh wins this, I think.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 21 June 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought they'd named it HULK as opposed to "THE" Hulk..

― N. Ron, Saturday, 21 June 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Insomnia, any others are so far in the past I can't remember them.

― Matt (Matt), Saturday, 21 June 2003 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I recall it being 'the' hulk. that's what the imdb says, too.

why did I win, martin, what did I do?

― Josh (Josh), Sunday, 22 June 2003 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

bowling for columbine, the two towers, harry potter and the chamber of secrets. i don't go to the movies much, its very expensive and i like records better.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 22 June 2003 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

how was morvern callar, josh?

blue spring (aoi haru)
dead or alive
x-men 2

also - if yr walking down queen st on the university side late at night, you can see the huge hulk billboard (with him LUNGING) reflected in the dark glassy shell of mid city(?).

― Ess Kay (esskay), Sunday, 22 June 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

it seemed very good, but I wasn't really in the right mood to appreciate it when I saw it. I'd like to see it again sometime.

I think it may have had the highest proportion of songs I felt a personal connection to out of any movie I've ever seen. that was kind of creepy, especially since the songs were on the boyfriend's tape. but it was also especially intimate, I suppose maybe like what royal tenenbaums is like for people who recognize more of the music than me.

gffcnn called it 'an idm movie'. this does not seem inaccurate.

I appreciated how most of the sex and nudity didn't really seem designed to titilate.

― Josh (Josh), Sunday, 22 June 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

1. Werckmeister Harmonies (7/10) 2. Russian Ark (3/10). 3. Dark Water (5/10)

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Sunday, 22 June 2003 07:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh, I just really liked your combination of blockbuster, indie and subtitled - I've always liked variety and range.

Now I know Andrew saw the same Dark Water as me because we saw it together, so I can say with confidence that the 5/10 is horribly misguided. Andrew's main criticism was that there weren't enough big shocks, which is just the flipside of Germaine Greer's reasons for disliking Identity. I hope you're ashamed now that I have pointed this out.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 22 June 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I overlap with Sarah: Bend it Like Beckham, Bruce Almighty, and Matrix Reloaded.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

no wait, forgot the Italian Job which sneaks between Bruce and Matrix.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

1. Dark Water
2. Bring Down The House :(
3. Matrix 2

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 22 June 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Bringing Down The House has got quite a few good reviews, bizarrely, as if the premise and trailer are anything to go by its not only the nadir of Steve Martin's career (along with every other film he's been in in the last 13 years) but also Queen Latifah's as well.

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 22 June 2003 18:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin, yeah what a sap I was, expecting a horror film to be, y'know, scary and exciting.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Last one was LOTR-The Two Towers. I thought this was good, but not as good as the first one, but I did enjoy the emense battle scenes.
Spiderman - very disappointing
Star Wars - Attack of the Clones. I thought this was 'ok' nothing more.

This is actually quite sad. I would like to go to the cinema more, but it's diff as my boy is quite tall & finds it uncomfortable. There is a great cinema about 35 mins away from us where the seats are huge & comfy where you can drink beer & get food delivered to your seat. We need to go here more often.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Sunday, 22 June 2003 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Martin, yeah what a sap I was, expecting a horror film to be, y'know, scary and exciting.

Exactly! Also, I am hoping to be promoted to sap later this year. They're trying to make a sap out of me! < / '40s gangster >

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 22 June 2003 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Bruce Almighty, A Man Apart, Bulletproof Monk. I fucking can't stand Vin Diesel.

― toraneko (toraneko), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

X2 (which pretty much rules), the original version of The Haunting (which is god-awful, in case you're ever tempted), and His Girl Friday (which was missing a reel, but I've seen it so many times I didn't care).

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

So depressing:

From Justin To Kelly
Alex & Emma
Rivers & Tides (not depressing)

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I forgot Bridge on the River Kwai was after His Girl Friday, and made me especially happy because I got my girlfriend to enjoy a "war movie" for the first time ever.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

the original version of The Haunting (which is god-awful

! You do not like the Robert Wise version = you scare me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, come on. It's terrible. Awkward exposition, and God! those voice-overs. Unen-freaking-durable. It would have been really interesting and scary and watchable if Elanor had died in the first reel.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Or if she had gotten it on with Theodora. Okay, I admit, I enjoyed the evil lesbian angle. Especially when Elanor calls Theo "one of nature's mistakes." I wonder how many people in 1962 got that.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 23 June 2003 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Just to pop up here: in reverse order
2 Fast 2 Furious (an amazingly homoerotic film)
Springtime In A Small Town (where Small town is a misnomer - it should be spirngtime in a house with five people in it)
Max.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 23 June 2003 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

LoTR - Fellowship
End of Days (awful, just awful)
Fight Club

Honestly can't remember what I last saw in theaters before Return of the King and haven't seen anything since! Such are the ways.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

24 Grams ... or whatever it was called, it's crap anyway
Lost In Translation ... liked this
Tokyo Story ... what can I tell ya, was in a Japanese state o' mind

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah, what did you think of The Girl Next Door?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, after I submited that, I remembered that I have seen Kill Bill Volume 2 since then...

Anyway, I liked The Girl Next Door. It was part Typical romantic comedy, but it had lots of no names in it and random laugh out loud moments. I especially liked the actors picked to be the main guy's best friends. They were very believeable. Of course, there were also the requisite awwwwwww scenes, but I think it still turned out pretty well.

I really enjoyed it (Saddest Music..). It's kind of disturbing at times, but mostly funny and has some really beautiful shots in it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 18:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be seeing Saddest Music tonight. I watched Odilon Redon and Sissy Boy Slap Party in the last few days in anticipation.

Nairn, why on earth did Saddest make you proud to be an American?

The last three movies I saw in a theatre. Um. Possibly a collection of Brakhage shorts, "House of Sand and Fog" (or whatever -- it was horrible), and "Saddest Music" (which was pretty great, and made me proud to be a Canadaphile).

― Casuistry (Chris P), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a theater in (or even close to) my town. So I only see movies on the big screen occassionally:

Vanity Fair was strange. The acting was excellent (a really great cast, but I thought people like Rhys Ifans were underused), as were the sets and costumes, but I felt it lacked something and I still can't put my finger on it. The Bollywood dance sequence was unnecessary. Plus I didn't think Becky was conniving enough, she was just too damn nice the whole time.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought Vanity Fair was very much a typical costume period-piece. Pretty much exactly what you would expect. Rhys-Meyers was nicely over-the-top, he was my favorite part of the movie.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Rhys-Meyers was my favorite part as well, but he should have been the foil for Becky in their social climbing, but I didn't think the movie made enough of this relationship. I keep wanting to compare this with the film of Barry Lyndon, since I think both novels are by Thackeray?

I was kind of disappointed with Silver City. I'm not sure I can pinpoint why. It just sort of seemed predictable. And the dialogue was oddly clunky in parts. Also, Sayles trying to pack too much into a two-hour movie, surprise. Daryl Hannah was pretty good, though.

From most recent to further away in the distance:

Ladder 49 (I KNOW very few people around here will like this film because of its earnestness, but DAMN I loved that film SO MUCH.)
Open Water (It was odd -- so much more of a frightfest than an average horror film, but also quite dull.)
De-Lovely (Delightful fun!! Exactly what a film about Cole Porter should be like.)

I think it's funny that even if I were to never see another film in the theaters again this year, I'll still have seen more films this year than I saw in the previous two years. Wow. Normalcy.

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:04 (twenty-one years ago)

don't you think ladder 49 layed it on a LITTLE thick, dee?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 7 October 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't think so. Then again, I actually really admire and look up to firefighters, so maybe my personal opinions would paint this film in different colors than the pallette of your own personal opinions re: firefighters would.

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

(I loved that Roger Ebert loved the film, BTW. Yay!)

― Ever-Ready Daisy Chain (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 7 October 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

De-Lovely is one of the most poorly named films ever. Just call it "The Cole Porter Story", like they would've in the good ole days.
