So this is June and what have you done? Another month over a new one just begun
Films watched
- Guy Ritchieâs Snatch (2000) (A-)
- Barry Sonnenfeldâs Men in Black (1999): Ruthlessly efficient. Gets in and out in 90 minutes. (A-)
- Dreamworksâ Shrek (2001): Watched as it was meant to be seen, in the original Polish (C+)
-
Peter Weirâs The Truman Show (1998): While sailing across the internet, i happened
across a copy of
the original draft of the script. It is so much darker, and so much weirder.
- Itâs set in a constructed version of New York City instead of a small town in Florida
- He finds his own name in a dictionary
- Truman threatens to kill a baby and it is played completely straight
- Instead of ending when he disappears out the door it continues and he hijacks a tram and has a shoot-out on the roof of the studio????
- He hires a prostitute to recreate his encounter with the girl who told him it was all a TV show
- Anyway, the cut that got released is a very good film to show to your friends who havenât seen it before and watch their reactions. Itâs alsoâââfor me personallyâââone of those Back to the Future-type films, where itâs all so immaculately put together that you can watch it over and over and thereâs always something new to enjoy (A+)
