When Good Directors Go Bad #18 + Famous Last Words Round 2, Week 2


Although strangely enough, I probably feel more affection for this week's selection than any of those I've chosen for the series thusfar. Funny, that.

Also this week:

YouTube Cabinet of Curiosities: Candy From Castro- from the titanically strange If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? The only thing to say is... holy crap.

PTA's Milkshake: Damn Right, It's Better Than Yours- because every article about a big-name auteur can only be improved by a dated reference to an overplayed five-year-old song.

DVD Digest for January 15, 2008- featuring the Postwar Kurosawa box set, Syndromes and a Century, a bunch of classics, and for those of you with a great deal more money than sense, Good Luck Chuck and Mr. Woodcock.

Trailer Roundup Review: Fool's Gold. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Leatherheads.

Finally, I'm going to cross-post Famous Last Words here for those who can't access the Screengrab site for various reasons. The two major difference between the original game and its new Screengrab incarnation are: (a) answers must now be submitted by 11:59 PM on WEDNESDAY instead of Saturday, and (b) the new address for submissions is famouslastwords@nerve.com. Otherwise, pretty much the same.

Last week's quote was from GoodFellas, in case you were wondering. Here's this week's quote:

"The end is important in all things."

Good luck!
