Okay, it's decided we're going from the beggining. Since it's a busy time now, should we start in January?

I could start on Citizen Kane at any time. What kind of discussion to we want to have? Story? Techniques? Historical?

I could talk about Citizen Kane at any time, but I'd rather watch it again because it has been a very long time, and it's not terribly likely before Christmas.

I'd like to discuss all of those things, plus anything else people are interested in saying (i.e., Agnes Moorehead was hot).

A movie a week is very ambitious, peeps. I admire y'all's optimism and passion for movies. Wink

Can't guarantee I'll participate in every discussion, but I'll do what I can.

I may even get my husband to watch some of these!

If we're going to stick with this every week, I doubt I'll make every one of them (and there's a decent chance I'll skip The Silence of the Lambs and [i]West Side Story[i] just because I don't want to watch the movies). I think participating the best we can is about as much as can be expected from any of us.

But West Side Story is brilliant! It's so much more than an update of the Romeo and Juliet story. It really drives home the great racial and socio-economical divide our country is suffering from. In many ways, this musical is more relevant today than it was fifty years ago.

Bingo.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

As long as I don't bleed or cry, I'll do it!

Bingo.

But I didn't like the play. I found it heavy-handed, clunky, and full of stereotypes. But, I'm sure the film is better than the production I saw. I'll watch it and try to keep an open mind.
