I've read through many of Ebert's entries about the Cannes Film Festival, and few of the films he describes really get me excited. Volver sounds interesting, only because I've only seen several of Almodovar's films, and I have yet to see one I liked.

Do you mean you've never seen one that you didn't like? 'Cause that's where I am on Almodovar (and I've seen at least 5).

Heh: “I laughed, as I had been doing for the past 20 minutes. I was laughing at the satire, at Coppola's brash approach and from the pure joy that a great film can trigger. That's when two French journalists to my right Frenched me. “Those were the rules! They had rules!’ one hissed, while the other sneered and added, ‘Not funny! Not funny!’ Of course, this made me laugh harder. I briefly considered explaining the concept of satire to my hosts, but it was pointless.”

we'll see. i have no idea where she's going with this. if it's satire, it better be good satire. that trailer in no way indicates that it is.

ps, dude, "maybe they were saying boo-geois" would have been a lot better.

darn. 'tis true.

jbg is funny.

You know I checked, and I actually think I need to eat some crow. I think I've only seen one Almodovar film, La Mala Educacion-- which I did not like. So disregard my previous statement as uninformed.

jbg gets funnier by the week.

aw, thanks, crazymonk. that means a lot. now can you send that in an email to 8 years ago?

it was an icq.

asswipe.

Note: the original, less funny title of this post was "Maybe they were saying Boo-stille."

I find it weird that your posts have titles that aren't usually visible.
