Next weekend you guys should watch Madonnas "Sticky & Sweet" concert tour DVD. Its semi-soft porn but the music is good.mandy wrote:I introduced Shelbs to that movie earlier this year.

I think this put me into the "Bad Mother" catergory.
I like Kurosawa and Ray a lot, but I really need to see more of their films. I really liked Pather Panchali and The World of Apu (particularly Ravi Shankar's score), but still haven't seen Aparajito or any of Ray's other films.Pies4shaw wrote:I can't really separate Kurosawa and Ray.

Kurosawa's your favourite director, I take it?
As for my number 1, I guess I have seen that on the big screen several hundred times - somehow, it just never pales or gets tired from where I am sitting. And its role as an educational tool on the small screen shouldn't be under-estimated - both my children were weaned off the Wiggles and the Hooley-Dooleys by repeated doses of Aunty Aretha and Uncle Ray. And Cousin James - well, as Jake says: "Jesus-H-God-blasted-Christ, I have seen The Light".
You should try to see Aparajito, if you can - the opening scenes of Varanasi are (IMO) among the most evocative in cinema. They (and the famous dance sequence in Jalsaghar) were enough to make me travel through India.David wrote:I like Kurosawa and Ray a lot, but I really need to see more of their films.

As an aside, Francois Truffaut is reported to have walked out of Pather Panchali, complaining that he had no interest in seeing Indians eat with their hands. What a pr*ck.
