The Big Sleep: BlogNosh 04/21/08

Under discussion:

Sex and the City  (2008)
  • At The House Next Door, Keith Uhlich has a lengthy wrap-up of the Sarasota Film Festival, which he begins by contemplating the idea of falling asleep in movies. I, unfortunately, have been known to suffer from mid-festival narcolepsy––in fact, I dozed off whilst sitting next to Keith in two separate Sarasota screenings. Keith doesn’t have this problem, and he explains why: “For me, movies approximate a dream state. The basic act of watching them is invigorating, my attention focused to a finely honed point.
  • What’s this? The Sex and the City movie is no longer screening at Cannes? But why? Jeff Wells has a few ideas, natch: “My guess is that the Warner Bros. handlers simply decided against the Cannes option because they didn’t want to endure a DaVinci Code-like pummeling by festival correspondents and figured London would offer more of a slurpy kiss-ass reception.”
  • Finally, a tossed-off bit of film criticism from Ryan Adams, embedded deep in a lengthy blog post about his sobriety: “[M]en should just wish they were shoes, but that is another story and and if you have noticed, Q.Taratino has been trying to tell it over a lot of stray bullets for quite some time…” Sic, of course.
