Real Life.
Real Life will prohibit me from posting again until Sunday, at the best, or Monday, at the most likely. Next week we’ll have the Monday classic, of course, but Speed Racer will, I promise, follow after that. Before we part though, a nugget of movie wisdom to ponder:
The War of the Roses is an occasionally hilarious, superbly paced dark comedy from 1989, featuring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito (who also directed) doing wonderfully bitter fun-house distortions of their audience friendly characters from the Romancing the Stone films. DeVito is a game and underrated director in general, but Roses strikes me as especially successful and brave. Can you image Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson signing on for a deranged blend of screwball, Looney Tunes and Very Bad Things today?

Real Life - which messes me everyday, is so annoying.
Hope you have a good weekend nonetheless.

Kate Hudson, maybe. McCoanaughey, no.
