And then everyone stayed up late singing songs about Titanic. That was a show for the history books.

And you can't make Stone a man anyway, because the whole movie hinges on uniquely female themes.

Well, guess I'm re-watching that movie tonight.

Wes Anderson is perfect and I love him.

If for no other reason, this film is notable for being shot in THREE different aspect ratios. 1.33, 1.85, and 2.35, to distinguish between the film's 3 different time periods.

That should be the show's motto.

I dunno. I guess it depends on the tone you're going for. The adventurous music in that rough cut had a major (positive!) impact on the comedy. I really like this tune, though.

Been on a Shakespeare kick so I watched a bunch of Hamlet adaptations. Olivier's is still the best. Very dynamic and probably the least stagey film version barring Branagh's. Found one with Kevin Kline which is literally a filmed stage version. It was pretty dull. There was also a TV version directed by and starring Campbell Scott, aka the son of George C. Scott. It's a more modern version and it works surprisingly well. The culture of royalty is replaced by high-society WASPs. I have yet to see the Ethan Hawke version. Heard mixed things.

This movie is only boring if you don't get on board with the characters like right away. Which I guess Trey didn't, and there's nothing wrong with that. But once you're invested in Scottie's story, you're willing to watch 15 dialogue-less minutes of him driving around town.

Also, you guys didn't discuss the alternate ending, which is an interesting story.

Apparently the studio wanted to make it clear that the bad guy didn't get away with it, so they made Hitchcock film this ending to stick onto the tail of the film. Didn't make the final cut, though. I've also heard of some overseas cuts that make Judy's death much more vague.

Hey man, if you get joy out of tearing this movie down, more power to you. I'll be over here enjoying the movie itself.

On DVD or Blu-Ray?

Thanks folks, I'll be here all week!

Yeah, the pacing of the first twenty minutes or so was a bit wonky. Mostly because they were cutting between those two stories a bit awkwardly. Once the pirates show up at Phillips' ship that goes away.
