Keep it GAY!

So, after a very long time, I went to the video sotre to rent Some Like it Hot. They didn't have it so I left.

Another day, I go to the video store - there's only one in a half hour radius because they drove out the other three stores - to try to rent Casanblanca. After searching for Casablanca, and several other films, I again left, weeping for the soul of Dubois county.

For my third go around I decide that I should really watch the American remake of Godzilla. So I did.
Godzilla, was actually a decent film as long as the ginat radioactive lizard's name is Zilla. Zilla was a perfectly good movie monster and her offspring were vaugly terrifying. But Zilla is just not Godzilla. And Godzilla's offspring should be non-threating.

And then I also found the Producers This has to be one of the funniest films in existance. Everything was so over the top, even when it was unsettling (Mr. Bialystock? Why are you seducing Mr. Bloom with baloons and carosel rides?) it was still funny.

So, while I'm still weeping for the spirt for of the soul of Family Video, I no longer wish to commit arson. But they're still evil.

Are we talking The Producers or The Producers? I love the original and haven't yet seen the remake. Of course, it's Mel doing the remake, and you gotta trust him.

XANDER: Matthew Broderick did not kill Godzilla. He killed a big, dumb lizard. That was not the real Godzilla.

And I'm sending you Rick+Ilsa=Lurv thoughts.

I'm talking the original The Producers. The remake been delayed to May 16, which is fine beause it means I got to see the orgial version first.

Though I should have watched the orginal version before buying the OCR of broadway version, because I kept singing the songs from the musical when the senes that they were in came up.

I had to see Godzilla just to see how diffrent Zilla was from Godzilla. Which was, apparently, a lot. At least she's part of the Godzilla cannon now because of Final War.

...And what was really sad is that I had to look up who Ilsa is. The only reason why I know there's a Rick is because of Overdrawn At The Memory Bank.

I saw Overdrawn without robots, because it was put up with Liquid Sky as a great example of cyberpunk film. Which it is. If by "film" you mean video. Made for TV. In Canada.

What made you want to watch Casablanca, anyway?

You can't forget that it was Canadian!PBS helped fund Overdrawn at the Memory Bank too. And perhaps Amercian!PBS too.

It was Top 100 Movie film quotes, and the lines from Casablanca were funny things that made you want to find and hug the writers for writting suck a really good film.
