Lucas to make more Star Wars?
Good news for all the Star War fans as it seems George Lucas is open to the possibility of shooting the sequels of this sci-fi saga after all. I just hope he doens’t ruin it by coming up with a new Jar Jar Binks…
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Although my brother pratically forced me to see this movie I was reluctant to go at first. I just couldn’t picture the cast (Jim “The Mask” Carrey, Kate “Titanic” Winslet and Elijah “Frodo” Wood) in a good movie by a long distance.
The fact that it had been written by Charlie Kaufman (Being Jonh Malkovich and Adaptation), rated 8.6 and number 43 at the IMDB top movie list made me change my mind and I don’t regret it.
A mind erasing blowing film to say the least.
The ultimate mod
The ultimate mod: an apartment turned into a Star Trek episode set. The photos are amazing, specially the before and after ones. It’s at sale at ebay so if you’re a Star Trek fan with $1,000,000 go get it 
Kill Bill
Just returned from seeing Kill Bill (yes, only now, I’m a busy man you know …). I positively feel like this:
Can’t wait for Vol.2 …
The Hulk …
Just some thoughts about The Hulk Movie:
- Where does he buy his underpants? That is one strong material he has got there!!!
- The Hulk, or is it Shreck with a bad mood?
- Hulk flies?
- Crappy storyline …

times movie trailers make you think the movie is better than it
actually is. With this particular movie the exact opposite
happened.
When I first saw the trailer I was amazed that Spike Lee would
actually do such a lame film. The story seemed a complete
cliche and furthermore it seemed to be poorly shot.
I decided not to see the movie. But then I started
getting positive feedback about the movie from people that wouldn’t
like the film if it was actually lame. So I decided to see it
anyway.
All this to say that I was really impressed by the movie. Great
storyline, great acting, great shots … Not to miss!
Matrix Reloaded
href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0234215">Matrix Reloaded:
Yesterday I was excited as I managed to get some tickets for the
Matrix Reloaded pre-screening.
Today I am as disapointed as I can be. Great special effects but no
history whatsoever. And what about that 5 minute, MTV like, video
clip?
Sure those bullet time scenes of the original Matrix were cool. But
not when they are overused during the entire film!
Lost Highway

Screenplay: The perfect complement for this great movie. Taking
a look at the script made me notice that some important scenes are
missing from the film. Either that or I slept during some parts of
it.
MYSTERY MAN: We’ve met before, haven’t
we?
FRED: I don’t think so. Where was it that you
think we’ve met?
MYSTERY MAN: At your house. Don’t you
remember?
FRED: (surprised) No, no I don’t. Are you
sure?
MYSTERY MAN: Of course. In fact, I’m there right
now.
FRED: (incredulous) What do you mean? You’re where
right now?
MYSTERY MAN: At your house.
FRED: That’s absurd.
The Mystery Man reaches into his coat pocket, takes out a
cellular phone and holds it out to Fred.
MYSTERY MAN: Call me.
Fred snickers, like this is a bad joke. The Mystery Man puts
the phone into Fred’s hand.
MYSTERY MAN: Dial your number.
Fred hesitates, puzzled.
MYSTERY MAN: Go ahead.
Fred shrugs, laughs, dials his number. We HEAR a pick up as we
stay on FRED’S FACE.
PHONE VOICE OF MYSTERY MAN: I told you I was
here.
Fred, still holding the phone, stares at the man standing in
front of him.
FRED: How did you do that?
The Mystery Man points to the phone.
MYSTERY MAN: Ask me.
Fred, mirthful at first, as if it is a party trick of some
kind, suddenly turns serious - it’s obvious he’s thinking now of
the videotapes. He speaks into the phone.
FRED: (angrily) How did you get into my
house?
PHONE VOICE OF MYSTERY MAN: You invited me. It’s
not my habit to go where I’m not wanted.
Fred looks at the man in front of him, but speaks again into
the phone.
FRED: Who are you?
The man laughs - identical laughs - both over the phone and in
person.
PHONE VOICE OF MYSTERY MAN: Give me my phone
back.
The man in front of Fred reaches out his hand for the phone.
Fred hears the line go dead, and he slowly passes the phone back to
the Mystery Man who takes it, folds it, and puts it in his
pocket.
MYSTERY MAN: It’s been a pleasure talking to
you.
In the same site you can
also find
Drive’s Screenplay.
Note: Just talked to someone who also saw the
movie and the script does contain a lot of missing scenes that help
explaining the film. It all makes sense now (in a Lynch way of
making sense). It makes me wonder if Lynch purposely cuts some
scenes from the final version of his films just to make them more
complex.
