Looking forward to taking our granddaughter to see a movie this weekend. It'll be some animated movie in Korean. I'm mostly in it to spend time with her. Oh, and for the popcorn.

She can do simultaneous translation, can't she?;) (I mean, aside from pissing off the rest of the audience, what could go wrong? At least you aren't MST3K'ing it.:cool:)

She can... hypothetically... if the words used in the film are simple enough. However, she is quite young and so might not be interested in doing so. We can discuss it afterwards, which will give her an opportunity to practice her English.

Been there, done that with various Chinese relatives.(y)
 
I just saw Bohemian Rhapsody this afternoon. It was good - exactly what I was expecting. For music movies - I think Star is Born was better (though I know BR is a biopic and SiB is fictional).
 
I just sat through Sgt. Stubby dubbed into Korean. That's 75 minutes of my life I'm not going to get back. Cute dog though. :D
 
Vice was really well done! I will have to see it again, maybe a couple of times, to catch some of the details I missed. I found myself so taken by how well some of the scenes (acting, style, substance - they managed to add satire and social commentary and biography with drama) were done that I had a few moments of, "what just happened - what was that? What'd they say?...wish I could pause and rewind." Ironically, that was one of the points made...but in an entirely different context. (the spectacle and distractions in politics that get people thinking of things other than what's going on).

Christian Bale was awesome. Stunning job. I would never know who it was if we weren't told. Sam Rockwell was also awesome as GWB. He's been too underrated all these years. I've been a fan of his acting since his mid-nineties indie movie days.

I've heard critiques about humanizing Cheney for a movie - but the movie points out that he's a "dirtbag" from the beginning. A rather unapologetic one.

Tonight we watched "RBG" by Cohen & West - documentary on Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Such an amazing woman - I really enjoyed learning more about her life and journey to the Supreme Court, and her pervasive influence on changing laws for gender equality. Highly recommend it.
 
Is such a spirit of justice an all about thing that is one-sided in the darkness of mankind?

It appears to be still out there ... beyond us as incarnate mysteries ... demonized?
 
Our local film group just had it's documentary festival - called "Reel Stories". Watched an excellent film about a Canadian woman, Anne Innis Dagg (yes related to the Innis of Innis College at U of T) who did the first field observations of giraffes before Goodall had started similar chimp work. She was completely screwed over by the U of Guelph, and never got the recognition she deserved, although she's come into her own to some extent late in life. She's in her 80s, and came to the showing with the film's director, and we enjoyed a 1/2 hr Q&A after the film. "The Woman Who Loves Giraffes".
 
I heard there was controversy about Green Book. I haven't been yet but I hear it is still worth seeing.
