Movie Night 280

Quasi-provocative Question: "Wunderkind or Swiss Miss?"

Day: 3/30/08

A Feature: Vitus

B Feature: Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger

Notes:

1. No movie night on 3/23/08 for Easter.
2. Liz's Minion Night, delayed by Kid Night and Jesus Night (and quite Kid Night appropriate).
   
3. Pre-movie night: the fierce sweaty crying of Margot.
   

Movie Night 279

Quasi-Provocative Question: N/A (see notes below)
Day: 3/16/08

A Feature: Hot Rod
B Feature: Darkon

Notes:

1. A Feature was supposed to be Stardust with a question of "Pixie or Poxy" but again A Feature had been seen (sidebar to dictator - that's 2 weeks in a row), so Hot Rod was improvised. Possible question: "Sissy Spacek, why?"
2. Kid Night

Movie Night 278

Quasi-provocative Question: "Puppet master or Marionette?"
Day: 3/9/08

A Feature: Direktøren for det hele (English Title: The Boss of It All)
B Feature: Cashback

Notes:

1. Guest: Paul
2. We almost got to see Darjeeling Limited
3. Popular consensus - Cashback does not live up to its billing as a "B+ Feature"
   
4. From imdb w/r/t Boss... and its nigh-gratuitous use of jump cuts. It wasn't Lars' fault (sorta) : "This movie is shot with camera technique called Automavision, an innovation in which the camera angles and movements are selected by a computer. The media notes explain technique, "a principle for shooting film developed with the intention of limiting human influence by inviting chance in from the cold". There are odd framings and jump cuts within scenes making everything seem a bit unsettled."
   

Movie Night 277

Day: 3/2/08

A Feature: Interview
B Feature: The Amateurs (AKA The Moguls)

Notes:

1. Margot debuts her zip up sweater with hood, almost derailing movie night

Notes:
