Tina Weymouth (bass player for Talking Heads) is pretty sexy. And dropping
a house on a witch? Definitely violent.

Koyaaniqatsi is arguably quite violent. Especially if Philip Glass
doesn't do it for you. :)

How about "Home of the Brave", Laurie Anderson's concert film.
According to my listings, "Stop Making Sense" plays at 9:15 and 11:15 tomorrow
at the Michigan Theater. Since I'm going to whatever Japanese film is running
at Lorch Hall at 7PM tomorrow, I'm not so sure I can make it now. I'll try
though.

Re resp:106 - I'll second the endorsement for "The Third Man" and
the Michigan Theater's new Screening Room. The elegant decor is
compatible with the old part of the Michigan, and the walls are
decorated with murals depicting Ann Arbor movie theaters of
yesteryear.

Re: #104 Lots of movies fit that description. Lots. Think of
chick-flicks, a good chunk of what Tom Hanks has starred in,
films directed by Ron Howard, many of Robin Williams' movies,
and on and on. And that's just the genre of contemporary
fluff film - mainstream stuff.

9:15? Thanks for the correction. I've put this in the motd, since I'm not
sure too many music people read Agora. I'll be just inside the overhang on
the State Street side.

(the trivia question I posted was asked of everyone in my film class by
our teacher. The only answer anyone could come up with (with no time to
think about it) was Airplane.)

"Airplane" has a fair amount of both sex and violence.

For the contest in #104, I nominate "Apollo 13."
I don't think a defective spacecraft part blowing up constitutes
violence.

I nominate "Goodbye, My Lady" (which hardly anyone nowadays has
heard of).

Singing in the Rain. But of course that's a musical.

I don't recall pregnant wives being especially sexy. But then I've never had
a wife, let alone a pregrant one.

We had a little Music conference expedition to catch the
Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE on Friday night:
scott, otaking and myself. I've never heard the film sound better;
it's been mixed for six?-channel sound, putting the audience noise
in the back of the theatre, and there are also some lovely effects
done with the off-stage harmony vocals in "Heaven" and the keyboard
fantasia at the end of "Once in a Lifetime." For me it was a complete
nostalgia experience, since Talking Heads formed the soundtrack to my
early twenties. I'm thinking of trying to see the last showing
of this run on Sunday afternoon.

I'll be planning a similar Grexpedition to the Michigan when Yellow Submarine
is showing in a week or two.

After seeing STOP MAKING SENSE, my immediate reaction was, "How did I miss
seeing this movie for the past 15 years?" I LOVED it.

"BRINGING OUT THE DEAD"-- New film by Martin Scorcese, starring Nicholas
Cage as a burned out ambulance driver driving around Hells Kitchen in NY
This co-stars Patricia Arquette, and ironically reminds me of another
early Scorcese film called "After Hours" which starred sister Rosanna
Arquette. Both movies are more about capturing a scene and a mood
aand are ont heavy on plot. Scorces's films are really dense and
complex and I want to see this one again. I wouldnt rank this among
Scorcese's best but even his merely good films are generally a lot
better than most anything else....*** (three stars)

I'm not sure of the exact time yet, but I'm announcing Yet Another Movie
Grexpedition to see Yellow Submarine this Friday at the Michigan. I'll pick
the 9ish showing.

That's tempting. Is it the first night they'll be showing Yellow
Submarine?
