Re: [scifinoir2] Everyone on TV reads the same newspaper

I always figured that the paper wasn't real at all, just a cut-and-paste (old-school usage of the term, all) prop. Whenever I see a newspaper in a shot, I instinctively try to read the print, and it usually doesn't make sense. On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 4:47 PM, Kelwyn wrote: > > > http://www.boingb

[scifinoir2] Heard about the Film "Kings of the Evening"?

Tired of the so-so, FX-heavy, plot-light summer "blockbusters" (which includes "Iron Man 2", sadly), I sought solace this past weekend in the indie movie scene. I went to a small theatre here in Atlanta called Tara, which has four screens, and shows a lot of fare that doesn't get wide release.

Anyone else watch this show's premiere a few weeks ago? It's from "Burn Notice" creator Matt Nix. I found the first show to be hilarious. It's a campy, non-stop action fest that has the humour and even look of something from the '70s. The silly hyperkinetic energy and jokes puts me in mind of

I'm sure The Road was discussed when it came out, but I just got around to seeing it on PPV this weekend. Maybe the most dark and depressing movie I've ever seen (or in the top 5 anyway). Yet the last few minutes offered a little redeeming hope in a way that was totally unexpected to me. I t

I agree Angela. I also found it very dark without any hope. There really wasn't any hope. The world would take some time to heal. About 10 years had passed since whatever happened in the movie and we were seeing the very last of the survivors of humanity. It reminded me a little about the movie "T

It's pretty good and I think reasonably faithful to the book though I haven't read it yet. It's definitely worth checking out if you are able to deal with a movie that dwells pretty much exclusively in the realm of bleak and hopeless. It helped me reaffirm that there are some things I just don't
