Living in the past can be a deficiency, but if your inspiration comes from idols from the past - sometimes it can create an unlikely sense of perspective.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-64121189447294821502011-10-22T15:15:15.503+11:002011-10-22T15:15:15.503+11:00On MIP-

Only Wes Anderson and now Allen have brought out the best in him...<br /><br />@ Stevee - I'm excited for you! Yeah, don't see The Three Musketeers :-p<br /><br />@ Paolo - Well, I haven't seen Contagion yet so I might be with you. But I loved Midnight in Paris too much to be dismissive of it. I take it you didn't think much of Mr Allen's newest work?Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-19049055535871383022011-10-19T18:38:36.598+11:002011-10-19T18:38:36.598+11:00I am probably the only person who believes this bu...I am probably the only person who believes this but I would rather take the miniseries-y feel of Contagion than Woody Allen's amoral justifications in Midnight in Paris.<br /><br />Also, I saw Musketeers too.

I would quite like to see it, though, since the cast is so strong. TT3D played here not so long ago, but I didn't really hear that much about it. I'll definitely be giving The Three Musketeers a miss. The only thing that makes me mildly interested in that movie is Christoph Waltz.Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-53426080326361513962011-10-19T10:07:04.115+11:002011-10-19T10:07:04.115+11:00Havent seen Midnight in Paris yet but want to.

May or may not go see CONTAGION, still not sure on that one. Not interested in any of the others, though.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
