A bit of a mixed bag, but I wanted to catch everything before the holidays start. I FINALLY GET TO SEE SHAME! Yay! It is going to be strange, because I've been going on about this movie for so long and only now do I get to see it. I'm also unfortunately going to be checking out Jack and Jill, because our shop got 21 copies of it and only one copy of The Artist so therefore Jack and Jill must be a masterpiece. Also, I'll check out Happy Feet Two because I loved the first one. This is one of the first three movie nights I've had on a school night in a long time - but I feel I deserve it (no matter how crappy the films are).
Video of the week...
I'M. SO. EXCITED. (seriously, I've got to the 'I'm having a heart attack every time I hear the words The Dark Knight Rises' stage).
Podcast plug...
Since there were a few people who watched my LAMMY 2012 video and said my accent was 'adorable', I think they'd be interested in listening to Ryan McNeil and I chat about Brave. It was 11pm when we started where I was, and 7am where he was. We were both a bit out of it, but it was a fun discussion all the same!
Change in schedule...
Thanks to some issues surrounding my next French New Wave film, I've decided to postpone my final post until Thursday. That means I'll bring my 'conversation' with Jack and Jill up to tomorrow. Then on Friday you will have a review of Shame up for your reading pleasure.
Links...
Nikhat looks at her ten favourite female Pixar characters. That is a place filled with magic.
Joining the 'film facts about me' train this week were Andy, Sam, Brittani, and James.
Anna reviews the totally awesome Alien. Speaking of, I have the sequel at my house and will be watching it sometime this week.
I don't watch much TV, but Sati makes me wish that I did with the first part to her 20 favourite TV characters.
Tyler lists the ten films he hopes are never remade by Hollywood. And hopefully they never are.
Finally, here's come great reviews of the fantastic Brave, which I'm liking more and more every second:
-The Matinee
-Anomalous Material
-The Film Emporium
-Being Norma Jeane
-Surrender to the Void
-FlixChatter
Final word...
Who's your favourite female character from the movies?
Thanks for the double link miss :D
ReplyDeleteMy favourite female character- hmmm. I have so many. I did want to name my alter ego so I might have to go with Marla Singer.
*did want to name my alter ego Marla
DeleteYou're most welcome!
DeleteMarla Singer...oh, how I love thee.
Thanks for the double linkage Stevee. I was very pleased with Brave. I enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for being the inspiration behind the Film Facts too. Congrats on all your awards, and nominations :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that so many people did the film facts - it is great to see!
DeleteOf course Jack And Jill is a masterpiece. It just broke records left and right at the Razzies by winning in every category.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes it did.
DeleteHI Stevee!! Quite a mix of films there???? LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry for my absence since Wednesday, I have been on a little holiday!!
Back now.
Yes, quite a mix! From a G rated movie to an R18, and also my least favourite film of the year to my most. Interesting night, indeed!
DeleteHope you had a good holiday :)
Thanks for the linkage. And enjoy Shame!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite femme from film? Shit that's tricky. I'll have to think for a minute... I'm gonna have to go with Veronique in The Double Life of Veronique. She's the kind of woman I like to think I knew once... in another lifetime. ;)
I love Veronique in The Double Life of Veronique. I saw a few similarities between myself and her.
DeleteThanks for coming on the show - and for the plug: But you forgot to give your readers a link to listen!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so silly! That's fixed now.
DeleteThanks for the linkage! I really hope you enjoy Shame as much as I did. Hell, I'm already looking forward to McQueen's next film just for that cast alone. (It's like with every new name added, my inner film geek starts sobbing hysterically from pure happiness. True story.)
ReplyDeleteI think I enjoyed Shame as much as you did...if not more. And that cast is BRILLIANT!
DeleteCan't wait for your Shame review!!
ReplyDeleteNeither can I!
DeleteEven watching Jack and Jill in the company of someone who I love to watch terrible films with, it was still an abomination. Good luck with it, Stevee!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you love Shame as much as I do. Fingers crossed!
It was an abomination!
DeleteI loved Shame more than anyone - I'm sure of it.
I hope you enjoy Shame. My favorite female character. Wow... it's tough as I would probably say Lee Holloway from Secretary.
ReplyDeleteI did see a few minutes of Jack & Jill... it was excruciating.
Secretary...must see that one day.
DeleteFrom the first second Jack and Jill is excruciating.
Thank you for the link! I hope you'll like Shame, I'm very curious to read your thoughts about. I'm so freaking excited for Brave I can't wait to see this one. the soundtrack alone is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteReview will be up tomorrow!
DeleteBrave is so cool! I loved the soundtrack, too.
Thanks for linking to my BRAVE review, Stevee. I'm still giddy how much I enjoyed that movie, I even updated my blog header to match my sentiment :D
ReplyDeleteCan't friggin' wait for The Dark Knight Rises already. Nolan bring it on!!!!
I saw that. It looks lovely!
DeleteI know! I'm so excited!
Thanks for the link. Nice work on the Matineecast as well.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and thanks for giving it a listen!
DeleteI will be quite predictable here, when I say that my favorite female character from movies is Scarlett O'Hara portrayed by Vivien Leigh.
ReplyDeleteShe's my favourite too :)
DeleteThanks for the link love Stevee! Hope you like Shame, though it might be a bit graphic for you lol
ReplyDeleteHahahaha NOTHING is too graphic for me! Apart from Antichrist or The Human Centipede, because I'm never going to watch those.
