Ne Change Rien is definitely worth seeing, but it's easily the weakest Costa, imo. There are a few incredible sequences -- mostly dealing with the Offenbach rehearsals, but the studio stuff can get very dull because Jeanne Balibar isn't a very interesting musician.

You can catch those Connors at MoMA like every other week!

oooh, "the weakest Costa" is bad news in my book. not crazy about him tbh.

The Trojan Women

is this the one Kate Hepburn was in?

Yeah, she's the weakest thing in it: she's playing Eleanor of Aquitaine in a toga. I'm reminded again though that Genevieve Bujold is one strange, great actress.

I don't know, maybe you'll like it then? The narrative, as such, is more straightforward than the Fountainhas films, but it's still very him. Very dark image, long long takes of slight variations on the same action. It's closest to Hidden Smile, but instead of being about the fuckin Straubs, it's about a connected actress trying her hand at music.

last film I saw was Thoroughly Modern Millie w/ Julie Andrews. Thought it was extremely entertaining. Before that:

Rock and Rule - talked all the way through this cause it seemed really boring/sexist after a few minutes. Cool animation though.
House (recent Japanese one) - meh.
MacGruber - was entertaining and funny enough. I always enjoy Val Kilmer.
The Signal - scary and unsettling. I recommend it highly.
Harold and Kumar - finally got around to watching this. It lived up to its hype.

Public Enemies. Liked the actress in it and some of the grainy video stuff (only saw the DVD, its probably more impressive in the big screen). Other than that I just couldn't care less.

Watching 'Les Diaboliques' tomorrow.

I was amused by Cold Weather in part bcz the plot features a mystery code that's based a certain branch of ephemera that I'm well-acquainted with. And the video lensing of Portland looks real nice. However, it's slighter than its champions seem to think.

abanana, who cut off the last minute of Incendies on you? sounds like Peter Cook in Bedazzled.
