Wowsers folks…Feels like I’ve been blogging your ear off for the last few weeks! Be truthful now, at least a few of you have to be getting bored of listening to me.
I certainly hope their aren’t too many of you feeling Hatter Fatigue, because I have an awful lot to write about over the next few weeks. There are movies I’ve seen in the last week or two that I haven’t written about yet, movies to be seen this weekend that I’ll want to chime in on, and a new episode of The Matineecast coming up shortly for your headphone fulfillment.
However, as is the custom, once a week I offer you a chance to cleanse the palette. It’s Friday, so that means it’s time for me to put the mic down for a moment and give a few other awesome scribblers their due.
So, for your reading fulfillment, I give you…
Ringtone guru, fellow LAMBcaster, and all around good guy Tom Clift imparts upon us one of his favorite moviegoing experiences (something I always enjoy hearing about!).
Another fellow LAMBcaster is Travis – He’s the trivia guru even I can’t seem to beat. He went and saw DEAR JOHN so that we don’t have to. Nice of him, wouldn’t you say?
Movieman at The Dancing Image is also feeling nostalgic. He’s looking back on the posters of his movie-going past.
One of the best movies suggested to me last year was BRICK. Univarn just watched it on DVD and has some thoughts.
Given that I’ll be taking in SHUTTER ISLAND tonight, seems like an opportune time to talk Scorsese – Jake at Not Just Movies looks back on RAGING BULL.
Encore Andrew isn’t done looking back on the last decade just yet. For your consideration, he has rhymed off fifteen of the best performances by a leading actress.
Enjoy!
WAHOO! I FEEL ALL SPECIAL NOW! *jumps for joy* Great selections though, shall check them out pronto!
Thanks for the plug Hatter! I actually enjoyed that moviegoing experience so much I'm going to another screening this week!
And I'm glad you enjoyed my ringtone. I told the person who was texting me about the little interuption and she sends her apologizes…even though I'm not sure she actually knows what a podcast is =P
Travis did a good job in his review of Dear John. It's not what you might anticipate as I wandered to the theatre to see it myself. It was better than one would imagine, but I also would recommend a DVD rental.
I just saw SHUTTER ISLAND, and I must say, I loved it. Yeah I've read all about the flaws, and have seen some negative reviews, but I'll be mounting a strong defense this week. Hope you enjoy it!
@ Univarn… What can I say – you do good work pal!
@ Tom… it's only a matter of time before my phone goes off mid-podcast…which would actually be slightly apropos since my ringer plays Franz Ferdinand!
Glad to hear you went back for more moviegoing goodness!
@ Heather… "Wandered". Be honest – you had its release date circled on the calendar for months!
@ Sam… Just came in from it. I'm still trying to piece together my opinion, but suffice to say it was very memorable. I'll be writing about it this weekend, and actually posting a podcast about it on Monday morning.
Y'all come back now, y'hear?
