Eternal Sunshine

jere7myThis is alarming. Is it a hoax? Can they really do this to my mind? What happens if my missing memories turn out to be important?
*shudder* On to soothing trivia....
How is it that E.R. has such an excellent supporting and recurring cast (Maura Tierny, Parminder Nagra, Linda Cardellini of the short-lived Freaks and Geeks, Donal Logue) and yet continues to suck so very much? It's like this television succubus that's keeping good people from doing better projects. Thandie Newton is the Yoko Ono of the emergency room.
But let's talk about good drama. Nobody had bothered to attach any trailers to Fog of War when I got in to work on Saturday, so I put on a trailer for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the upcoming movie from Charlie Kaufman. He's the writer and producer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. It looks like just the sort of thing I adore: tricks with memory; a cast that includes Elijah Wood, Tom Wilkinson, and Jim Carrey in a dramatic role (which always suit him better; he's like Robin Williams); and an excellent earworm in the trailer, drivingly cheerful. (Can anybody identify it? Please?) I spliced out the green band (y'know, that green screen with the MPAA rating) to make the joke work better; you can see the whole thing for yourself here. It's well worth it, as is the official site I linked to above. The film is due out March 19th.
Another worthwhile trailer can be seen here. It's The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, and it looks to be a shot-perfect tribute to 50s sci-fi B-movies, played totally straight. (And filmed in the miracle of SkeletoRama.) I am so very looking forward to this movie. The poster suggests there will be a short feature attached, entitled Skeleton Frolic; I sure hope so. It should (finally) be released any time now.
*yawn* I washed my weird flannel sheets tonight (weird in that both sheets are fitted, one with elastic and one without), so clean toastiness awaits me. As soon as @$%! E.R. is over. Methinks this is my last season at County General, however much I like Maura Tierny.

Date: 2004-02-24 12:46 pm (UTC)The Skeleton preview is great, too. Another movie to go onto my must-see list. That one will have to be with friends, though. Maybe a Schlock outing at Alumni Weekend this year? What's the timing on the release?
