Re: Paper Moon

Terrific film, altho I don't know that I've ever seen the very beginning or the very end, just the middle about 10 times.

I look forward to revisiting it with the panel.

Re: Paper Moon

A good episode, and I like the idea of the series. If The Cowboys doesn't get into the queue this way, I'll be very disappointed!

Re: Paper Moon

I feel like the day Trey stops saying 'You guys need to watch The Cowboys' will be a major turning point in Earth history.

Re: Paper Moon

I have to say that I have never even heard of this movie, but I love these 2 actors.
I watched through it just to get a sense of the movie before I listen to the commentary,
and I have to say that the framing of some of the shots in this movie are just fantastic.
Some of the shots In this movie seem impossible, like they really had to jam the camera
into a hole. Reminds me of both an image of Kubrick laying on his back between Nicholson
and a door, or Liev Schreiber in RKO 231 as Welles taking a pick ax to a concrete RKO studio
floor...
I know that when Welles saw the title "Paper Moon" that the director had finally came up with,
Welles told him "That title is so good that you shouldn't even make the movie, just make the
poster", lol

Re: Paper Moon

I think it is a more a question of why you format it that way?

At least, that is my question. It just strikes me, purely from a flow of typing point of view, that it is more difficult to break the sentences before the line break.

Re: Paper Moon

The discussion about mkeith's line return habits reminded me of when the whole forum was hard constrained to 600px wide. It was such a pain in the ass to read that I actually got off my ass and convinced Teague to let me fix it. Now I kinda wish it would stretch out to 1200px instead of just 1000, but then it wouldn't line up with the header all nice and that would bother me so I'd have to fix that too and it all starts to sound like more work then it's worth. Non of this is particularly relevant, but it looks like we're fairly off topic anyway.

Re: Paper Moon

This movie is a treasure! Fantastic! Why have I never heard of this movie until now?

The image of Addie on the bed smoking should be one of the most iconic shots in cinema history.

Re: Paper Moon

After more than five years, finally got around to watching the movie and listening to the commentary. Both a lot of fun. Charming film for anyone that hasn't seen it.

Interesting to hear your prescient comments re: limits to presidential terms pre-Trump. Because not every president is FDR.

not long to go now...

Re: Paper Moon

I just got round to watching this myself not too long back as well and everyone else should too dammit! I knew from the moment Addie opened her mouth that I was gonna adore the shit out of this film, I could have carried on watching these two characters for hours. It was one of those films that reminded me of how much I love the medium.

Having a β€˜new’ commentary bloody lovely too.
