They call me mello yello
Well no they don't. But I'm drinking mello yello right now so it seemed appropriate.
I have a ton to write about today but I might not write it all. I'm planning to spend the afternoon working on either my Innocent script or my R & J story. Writing in here is a good way to get me warmed up and ready to focus on writing.
First a couple of movie recs. I found the course outline from one of my film papers which listed all the films we watched. There is one I have to put on here even though I don't think anyone will be able to get hold of a copy. My reasons for putting it here? Well for one it was a great film but mainly because of who the producer was. It amused me greatly when I noticed this morning because I know someone with the same name.
Okay without further ado I present todays film picks.
1/ One Potato, Two Potato This is a film from 1964 about a white woman who divorces her husband and then falls in love with an African American Man. The film is hugely powerful and masterfully directed. If anyone does ever manage to get their hands on it then please let me know as I'd kill to see it again. Oh, and IMDB as usual messes up and doesn't list one of the producers, Sam Weston. Sam was a director of adult films back in the 1960s and 70s. Yup, I do mean porn. :)
2/ Hudsucker Proxy An hilarious film. Very typical of the Coen brothers, if you like their work it's a must. If you don't know their work then you might want to give Intolerable Cruelty a try first cos it's a lot more mainstream (although, in my opinion, not one of their better films). Once you've weaned yourself onto the odd brand of humour the Coen's bring to their films give Hudsucker a try, you won't be disappointed.
