Also: Opened with Queen Elvis, and played I saw Nick Drake, They did an incredible version of Across the universe! (Because of web congestion I only got half of Nick Drake and Across the Universe!

Simchik" Subject: film rant (longish, Robyn content nil) Speaking of movies (though we aren't, anymore)... Whenever I see a new movie these days I usually have no trouble finding at least one critic who had more or less the same impression of it that I did. This is reassuring not because it means I'm right but because it means I'm not insane. But with these two films, I'm at a loss to find critics who seemed to see them as I did. Am I insane? HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL Everyone found it appallingly bad. (I did too.) Everyone howled about the lousy acting, the ridiculous characters, the stupid CGI special effects, the implausibility of the plot, the cheesy dialogue, and the lack of any real scares. (I did too.) No one seemed to identify any of these qualities as the hallmarks of a classic B-movie. What else could this possibly have been? Is it even remotely possible that NO ONE involved in the production had any conscious intent to make an intentionally, charmingly BAD movie? This was not a serious horror movie. Granted, it wasn't all that funny, and they spent a little too much money on it, but at the very least Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen must have realized that they were camping it up. Hell, Chris Kattan must have known (but maybe not...he got grating and tedious after his first 5 minutes onscreen). No critic mentioned B-movies at all. No one classified this film as an intentional _or_ unintentional member of that genre. Why not? AN IDEAL HUSBAND I couldn't find more than one critic who admitted to hating this film. I thought it was awful. I've never seen the play performed, so my perception that it should be done with the traditional Wildean archness and lightness might be wrong. But the screenwriter savagely clipped all the funny bits right out of the play, and the few he missed were pathetically botched by the cast, including the inexplicably overrated Rupert Everett. The man has immense presence and he's quite a looker if you're into that sort of thing, but he seemed to be mumbling his lines from his sleep, looking like Jeremy Brett on Valium. I'm sure he must be better in his other films, but he just didn't convince me as a frivolous bachelor here. Minnie Driver stayed just this side of the line between charming and irritating, this time, but she also failed to convince me; she didn't pull off upper-crust at all. Julianne Moore was riveting but tried to make up in felinity what she lacked in lightness; she looked like Miranda Richardson on Valium. Cate Blanchett and Jeremy Northam were fine, but they had the straight roles. Is _An Ideal Husband_ really supposed to be a tedious unfunny period play? I could barely sit through it. That silly Stephanie Zacharek from Salon allowed as how it was not _quite_ the play, and many of the actors were blah, but Rupert Everett's profile was worth the price of admission alone! I exaggerate not at all. Sorry about the tedious unfunny unRobyn post. Drew ===== Andrew D. Simchik, schnopia@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

So few of our young men have true political aspirations these days! Perhaps we're witnessing the humble beginnings of the next Great Dictator. Isn't that a cheery thought? I think I'll reserve judgement until he finishes college, especially if he has only just shed the pimples and the pounds. He may discover that oral and anal sex are not as bad as his Jesus Fan Club thinks, thanks to some little Eva he might sit next to in poli sci. Or, if we're less lucky, it might be a little Ayn who turns his political head 180 degrees. But the academy has this way of turning fresh young 18-year-olds (he's probably on summer vacation before his freshman year) upside down. There is hope. Drew ===== Andrew D.
