Let's Go To The Movies
Hello darlings. I recently watched two knockout films which I highly recommend. Both are high in fashion content in their own unique ways. The first I watched from the comfort of my couch and the second was on a movie date with my three boyfriends. One evening while being a (very ill) couch potato and surfing the Roku, I came across a flick after my own heart full of beading and sequins. My mind was BLEE-HOWN when I watched Pageant. The transformations of these men are beyond impressive and they're quite the characters. The hair, the makeup (facial contouring at its finest).... the gowns, the taping, the shaping... did I mention backup dancers, sets and props?! A very close Superstylin* source gave me the skinny on one of the contenders and I can't say I'm surprised by what I heard. (Girl just doesn't know when to stop!) My roomie and I totally want to go see the next crowning.
Last night I went to see Black Dynamite at a midnight showing. The star of the film, Michael Jai White, and director Scott Sanders were there for the screening so we were treated to a little Q&A sesh after the viewing. I can't remember the last time I had laughed so much and sooooo hard at a film. Like laugh from-the-deepest-part-of-my-gut type of laugh and loud to boot. If you were in hysterics during the film, thank you for your sense of humor. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
As soon as I left the movie last night, I couldn't wait to see it again. Note to self: Must buy DVD as soon as it is available. How fun it must have been to be the costume designer. The soundtrack is pretty rockin' too. The following is for audiophiles about the smooth sounds of Black Dynamite.
Inglourious Basterds
Riprendo a scrivere su questo spazio che, nel frattempo, ha cambiato titolo. Dovreste saperlo ormai, son volubile. Chiedendo scusa allo zio Alfred e a chi ne sa più di me, vi do (nuovamente) il benvenuto su "Rear Window"
Non accolgo senza riserve quel che Quentin Tarantino offre. Se penso a Kill Bill non urlo al miracolo e credo che Jackie Brown sia la miglior storia ci abbia raccontato e mi riferisco proprio alle modalità di racconto. Questioni di gusti. Quando Tarantino non si abbandona alle tarantinate, alle iperboli visive, è adorabile. Non nel senso di tenero, mi sembra scontato, ma non si sa mai.
E Inglourious Basterds non è la tarantinata che il battage pubblicitario prometteva/minacciava.
Quando Tarantino mette assieme i pezzi di una narrazione semplice, ma non banale, efficace non puoi far altro che abbandonarti e apprezzare la composizione delle inquadrature, i dialoghi, i climax eccetera. Il piacere della visione alla vostra portata, a un passo.
La sequenza iniziale, chez La Paditte, è da antologia, Christopher Waltz è immenso.
La sensazione è che in fase di montaggio sia andato via qualche pezzo, magari da recuperare, speriamo. Intanto, godiamoci questo Inglourious Basterds di circa due ore e mezza che volano e travolgono.

BOTW Tip #2 - Dinner and Movie
Go to the the Landmark Theater on Pico. They have nice theaters and play more artier films as well as new releases. Its situated next to a Barnes and Noble so there's something to do if you arrive early. After the movie head over to La Serenata restaurant at 10924 Pico Blvd. They have great Mexican food and the setting is really laid back (no kitschy Mexican decoration in sight). The staff are nice, if not a little old school and the prices are reasonable. This is a way better option than the touristy El Carmen or Coyote restaurants, but its a little off the beaten track - which is my style. Hit it up with a date or with your buddy (as I did with Willy Mac this week). On Sundays bring your movie stub and get 50% off the second entree. There ya go, a tip from me.
