Resurrecting the Movies thread...
MaineWriter:
Meryl, go see Slumdog. What oilgun, John and Katherine said, I second, and third. You definitely need to see it.
There's a new chick flick coming out with Dustin Hoffman and... somebody? They say Dustin is as cute as he was in The Graduate. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have opened yet so I can't put that on the agenda for today. Darn!
My other choices: Doubt - not interested; Marley & Me - I don't do dog movies; Valkyrie - I've expressed my opinion on this one (!); Seven Pounds - I don't really know anything about this one, but Will Smith usually leaves me flat.
Maybe I'll go see Milk again. I am in the mood for a movie.

*Dustin Hoffman and... somebody? (2:29)
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUTyyhDJQX0[/youtube]
*Possible spoiler: This is a legitimate trailer, but trailers can sometimes be a little--didactic. Fair warning before you click and watch--this 2:29 trailer has a beginning, a middle and an ending--everything but the full credits crawl as you look for your left mitten under the seat!
(Non-spoiler: turn down the sound, no plot points are revealed and London looks great! After a walk along the revitalized South Bank and across the Hungerford Bridge, Dustin and Emma sit in the central courtyard of Somerset House (at 2:15)--that's where a few Brokies saw an outdoor screening of Brokeback Mountain this Summer! Very nice!)
Front-Ranger:
Yes, Last Chance Harvey, with Emma Thompson. Cute Dustin? Oh I suppose in a kind of a lost puppy type of way. If you like the idea of Dustin in a grey crewcut. If you're looking for cute Dustin, I suggest Little Big Man, especially the sight of a naked Dustin going around the teepee from Indian maiden to Indian maiden! Now, that's cute! Also cute is the gay Indian couple...excuse me, the same-sex Native American partners. Or whatever. Anyway, it's something worth renting and better than Dances With Wolves IMHO.

Oh, I saw Little Big Man back in the day...in the theater. Might be worth a re-watch, though. I'll definitely be seeing Last Chance Harvey, when it opens.
Meanwhile, here's a little New Year's Treat for all of you. Fantastic animation! I am going to post it on the book thread, too.

Very clever and pretty, Leslie, thanks. I hope that town has a good Fire Department. ;D
