Have you seen this film?Court and I watched it last night. Talk about odd! These are the wackiest characters I've seen in film in a long time.
It's really funny. As always, Annette Bening gives a superb performance. This had to be a fun film for the actors for the script's brilliant lines. There are plenty of gems.
Here's just one example:
Dr. Finch: Everyone! Come quickly! Wake up! Wake up! A miracle! A miracle! A miracle has occured!
Agnes Finch: What're you looking at?
Natalie: Dad's morning shit.
Dr. Finch: See? See how the duplicoil is breaking out of the surface of the water? Holy Father.
Agnes Finch: Doctor, let me draw you a nice bath.
Dr. Finch: Agnes, go get a shoehorn. A shoehorn, Agnes.
Hope: But what does it mean, Dad?
Dr. Finch: It means our financial situation is turning around. It means things are looking upward. Literally, the shit is pointing out of the pot! Towards Heaven, to God. My turd is a direct communication from the Holy Father.
[Augusten and Natalie try to hide their laughter]
Dr. Finch: No, no, no, no, children. No. Laugh. Laugh! God is... He is the funniest man in the universe. Agnes, I want you to carefully remove this, take it outside, and let it dry in the sun. We're starting a shrine, Agnes. A shrine. Hope, let's prepare.
[Bathroom humor gets me every time.]
The movie features a pretty good soundtrack [if you like seventies music].

I heard that one was good. We saw Feast of Love today and liked it a lot.
I saw it, and it was one of the quirkiest movies I've ever seen. The acting was wonderful. I'd like to read the book as well as others by Burroughs.
I tried to watch "Running With Scissors" because I loved the book, but I just couldn't get into the movie at all. Maybe I should give it another try.
I watched a very interesting, but disturbing movie called "Maria Full of Grace". It's about this beautiful 17 year old Columbian girl who becomes a "mule" for international drug runners. It was a movie that was disturbing, yet I couldn't take my eyes off it. And, I can't stop thinking about it. It was a small, independent film, but the gal that plays Maria won an award for her role.(Well, deserved because she was PHENOMENAL).
