<strong>Title:</strong> Short Cuts<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 1993<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Robert Altman<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> Based on stories by Raymond Carver, Short Cuts follows 22 Los Angeles residents whose lives intersect over the course of a few days. Ann and Howard Finnegan (<a href="/players/P____44167/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Andie MacDowell</a> and <a href="/players/P____17454/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Bruce Davison</a>) are preparing for their son Casey's birthday party when the boy is injured in an auto accident and falls into a coma. Meanwhile, Andy (<a href="/players/P____43473/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Lyle Lovett</a>), a baker, seethes with anger over the birthday cake that wasn't claimed, and Howard's father, Paul (<a href="/players/P____99306/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Jack Lemmon</a>), decides that a visit with his ailing grandson is a good time to discuss his infidelities. Lois (<a href="/players/P____41672/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Jennifer Jason Leigh</a>) is a new mother who watches over her baby when not making money doing phone sex, which bothers her husband, Jerry (<a href="/players/P____55920/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Chris Penn</a>), though he knows they need the money. Pilot "Stormy" Weathers (<a href="/players/P____25621/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Peter Gallagher</a>) takes a very literal approach to dividing up community property with his ex-wife (<a href="/players/P____47305/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Frances McDormand</a>). Doreen (<a href="/players/P___114336/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Lily Tomlin</a>) is trying on to hold her marriage with Earl (<a href="/players/P___115730/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Tom Waits</a>), who is a good man on the rare occasions that he's sober. Zoe (<a href="/players/P____65951/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Lori Singer</a>), a classical musician, is trying to find some way to connect with her mother, Tess (<a href="/players/P____61591/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Annie Ross</a>), a jazz singer. Dr. Ralph Wyman (<a href="/players/P____49832/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Matthew Modine</a>) and his wife, Marian (<a href="/players/P____50325/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Julianne Moore</a>) put their bickering on hold while they have dinner with another couple, Stuart and Claire Kane (<a href="/players/P____74620/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Fred Ward</a> and <a href="/players/P_____2102/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Anne Archer</a>). Stuart and his pals Gordon and Vern (<a href="/players/P____94069/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Buck Henry</a> and Huey Lewis) earlier went on a fishing trip where they discovered the body of a drowned woman but decided not to report it until the end of the weekend. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Luck, Trust &amp; Ketchup: Robert Altman in Carver CountryThis was one of the special features on the Criterion Collection DVD release of Short Cuts.  Not too much to say about it, but it was comprehensive and had interesting conversations with the actors, Carver&#39;s widow, and Altman.  An interesting look into how this movie got made and Atlman&#39;s approach.Rating: 8/10<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> This blog entry is part of my &ldquo;movie year countdown&rdquo;.  To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entryShort CutsI&#39;d seen two other Altman movies before this.  I loved The Player but M*A*S*H was not quite as great as I was hoping.  I knew I was taking a risk on a movie nearly 3 hours long, but luckily it was fantastic.While they are definitely two different approaches, the movie uses it&#39;s huge cast with unusual connections successfully in the same way as Magnolia.  I think that Magnolia is the improvement, but in a way you should not compare them.  I&#39;d never read any of Raymond Carver&#39;s writings, but would be interested after this.As a movie fan though I think the most initially overwhelming and impressive thing about this movie is the cast list.  As you are watching the opening titles and the names just keep coming at you like an unstoppable barrage you aren&#39;t quite sure what to think.  A lot of movies with a huge cast of celebrities like this often bomb.  But usually those types of movies are average length comedies where each actor basically gets a cameo and some goofy joke line.  In this situation each actor gets plenty of time over the 3 hours to really bring every fully formed character to life.Each story is wonderful and it&#39;s hard to pick a favorite.  It would have been great to watch even if the different Carver stories had all been completely separate.  But the most overwhelming and impressive thing about the movie subsequent to watching it is thinking about all the different connections.  I&#39;m such a geek that I wrote down every character and drew lines to the other characters to see how many different characters had interactions with or were related to other characters.  It&#39;s pretty impressive.  But the movie is so long and there are so many characters it rarely feels forced.Altman is an interesting guy.  I&#39;m curious to see some more facets of his work, even though sometimes some of his politics of things annoy me.  Mostly I&#39;m interested.Rating: 9/10<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> In a discussion group recently the topic of &#39;book adaptations&#39; has been brought up, and while I was watching this last night it occurred to me that this one is another good example of a successful &#39;book to movie&#39; transformation that is neither too literal of a rote retelling, and stands on its own as a film.Caught the final third of this one a couple weekends ago while flipping channels, and then watched the rest of the movie yesterday evening. Not the first time I&#39;d seen it (I&#39;ve actually lost count how many times), and it struck me how very fresh and innovative it still seems 30 plus years after the fact. There wasn&#39;t really anything like it seen before, with its overlapping dialog, meandering storyline and counter-cultural viewpoints.Those brought up on the television series may find the flavor a little hard to digest, no neatly tied up plotlines, no laugh track, a subtler brand of humor.Gould and Sutherland are a great pairing, and would go on to costar in a few other &#39;anti-establishment&#39; comedies after this to lesser success. Gary Burghoff is quite good as Radar and would go on to repeat the role on television (I actually find him funnier in the movie, more subversive, where he seems to turn into a cute little mascot on the television series), Bud Cort, John Shuck, Michael Murphy &amp; Sally Kellerman would all go on to become Altman regulars, and Robert Duvall portrays a truly memorable Frank Burns, who is all the more frightful for his seriousness, where the television version is turned into a buffoonish caricature.A first feature by one of my favorite directors who unfortunately passed away last year, some other favorite Altman films: Nashville, McCabe &amp; Mrs. Miller, 3 Women, Short Cuts, The Player, Gosford ParkSome other good &#39;anti-war&#39; films and &#39;book adaptations&#39;: Catch 22, Slaughterhouse Five <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Here&rsquo;s the dilemma.  I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB.  I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next.  In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me.  Here&rsquo;s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006.  Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005.  Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc.  The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting.  (I&#39;m going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films.  I decided this might be a good time to start fooling around with this spoutblog I have until now left unutilized.  So I&rsquo;ll try to start writing a little blurb or so about each movie I watch in this process.My only limitation here is of course movies that are available on Netflix.  Which sadly excludes several I know are available on DVD, and have been longing to see for a long time, but Netflix just doesn&rsquo;t seem to have available.  It&rsquo;d sort of annoying how they do list quite a few movies that that you can put in your queue under &ldquo;saved&rdquo;, yet they obviously do not have available.  I have countless movies in that unavailable but saved queue, and I&rsquo;m not sure that a single one has ever become available.  What&rsquo;s the point I wonder.But if anyone has any recommendations, I&#39;ll take that into consideration.

<strong>Body:</strong> I am generally not as sad when I hear news of someone dying at a ripe old age (generally anywhere near or over 80), especially if they had fame/fortune or in some other way lived a full and fulfilling life.  However, I cannot help but be sad when a great talent shuffles off of this mortal coil.  I'm not sure if I really have anything to blog about Short Cuts at this time, except that I think that it was the first Altman film that really grabbed my attention and made me cognizant of him, once I was old enough to be aware of the director's role in the filmmaking process and I began becoming more of a fan of specific directors than actors.<br/>
