This forum is for talking about non-music-related stuff that the DBT fanbase might be interested in. This is not the place for inside jokes and BS. Take that crap to some other board.

I guess that goes in the category "from whom?" Louis Malle's considered a giant, as far as i know.
I suppose, and I hope you're right, but I'd bet if you asked 10 people to name three great French directors, I'm not sure his name would make that many lists. He won at Cannes, but never won an academy award (I don't think), and, except for Pretty Baby and Atlantic City, was pretty much relegated to the art-house circuits over here. And again, ask 10 people if they've heard of the film Pretty Baby, then ask them who directed it. I could be wrong, but I think he was better known as Mr. Candice Bergen. Or maybe I just hang with an exceptionally backward crew of hillbillies.
Cool story about the stealing of Gram's body. Long live the Fallen Angel!
It is a cool story, and I was so excited to see that movie a couple of years ago.... but I thought it was aaaaaaawwwwwful.
It's a good enough "weed & popcorn" movie if you subtract the fact that it only takes away from Gram's musicial legacy in favor of Phil Kaufman's own self-mythology.

Gram deserves better.
I agree.

I must admit I had forgotten he directed Pretty Baby and Atlantic City. When I think of Loius Malles I think of Au Revoir Les Enfants which should have won an Oscar.
Looks like a bunch of little whiny fucksticks to me
Tonight there shall be a late night showing of "An Affair to Remember" Momma Canary's favorite and one of mine as well. And no not that sh**y a** remake with Warren Beatty and the wife, that was just abismal!!!! You DO NOT ever screw with a classic. Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant seriously Beatty and Benning as if!!!!
i may be the only person on 3dd who has not seen this movie. don't want to watch it b/c i know i am gonna be disappointed. fatalist or realist?[/quote]
realist. but still, see it. there are flashes of beauty and truth and laughter and some good songs for that, it is worth the 2 hours
there are moments of mundane, regular, near boring, unrealistic
but that is the genius and mystery of life and the complexity of art
overall it is an average film but the glimpses of genius make up for the majority of it being "just ok."
Not sure, but I can't imagine how someone could be underwhelmed by his performance.
For me, the only thing that saved this was his performance. The story is okay, but Bridges does a good job. I think the hype makes it difficult for a skeptical, critical person to watch it with an open mind. It's not a terrible movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not a memorable one either.

Holy crap, Dave Matthews is terrible in this. Kris Kristofferson is in it, but only as grown up Billy, and narrator. Horrible, even my students were pissed off at this sorry attempt at a movie.
