February 2007 Reading/Watching Recap
April 12th, 2007 |
Six weeks late. Ah well. After the cut, reactions to The Devil Wears Prada, Dreamgirls, This Film is Not Yet Rated and several books I read for school.
This is on the beginning of the Speed Racer DVD, and I assume elsewhere. I watched it with my mouth gaping. Who at Warner Brothers thought this would be a good use of a classic film? And how about these values: “Making time with Victor’s girl - good; pirating DVDs - bad.” Yep, copying their precious intellectual property is definitely worse than, like, mere spousal infidelity. For reals, WB?
It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
