Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, 1989 (dir. Joe Johnston)
I thought the last image was, “Hey! I get it! French class.” Pickypickypicky.
Think of any Studio Ghibli film you’ve ever seen. Think about how weird it was. This one’s weirder.
There’s a big bunny-cat thing, and a giant cat bus, and a bunch of other hallucinogenic shit. There’s some cute stuff about the little girls’ sick mother, but you’ll probably still be wondering who the hell came up with that cat bus.
life:
“You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.”
Happy 50th, Breakfast at Tiffanys. (see more photos here)

During the scene where the villagers are discussing how to determine whether someone is a witch, Eric Idle bares his teeth and bites down on the blade of the scimitar he is holding. This was not scripted; Idle was actually about to burst out laughing and bit his scimitar to stifle himself so as not to spoil the take (if you look closely, you can see him shaking slightly, trying to keep his laughter under control).

Days of Wine and Roses, 1962 (dir. Blake Edwards)
Such a sad, tragic film. I’ve only seen it once and can’t bear to watch it again. It affected me that much.
Since the armour the Knights wore was really made of wool, and the weather conditions in Scotland and England being what they normally are, the actors spent most of the shooting days being very cold and wet. To make matters worse, the hotel where they were staying only had a limited number of baths and hot water. At the end of shooting each day, there was a mad dash to see who could get back to the hotel first, and into some hot water. The Monty Python troupe all seem to agree that they did not enjoy much of the filming experience for this movie.
Sad, conceited fact here: I only live 30 miles from where they shot most of the holy grail. All this time, and I’ve never visted Doune castle, where all the castle scenes were filmed. Apparently, you can buy coconut shells at the gift shop.

Mark Cousins’ 15-Hour THE STORY OF FILM in 91 Seconds.
This would have been a fantastic series if Mark Cousins wasn’t narrating. He has the most annoying, slow, pretenious speaking style, which is really off putting. I’m not learning much, as I can’t stand the way he talks. Next episode, I’m going to mute it and put the subtitles on. Yes, it’s that bad. Type his name in youtube and see what pops up.
After the film’s release Alfred Hitchcock received an angry letter from the father of a girl who refused to have a bath after seeing Les diaboliques and now refused to shower after seeing Psycho. Hitchcock sent a note back simply saying, “Send her to the dry cleaners.”
