What new movie are you looking forward to this year?

[Sannum]

Based on Sundance and Cannes, I think it will be a very, very slow year. I usually like indies that nobody sees or has heard of...I am looking forward to the remake of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Between Burton and Depp, it looks very, very trippy.

The best movie I have seen this year was a short called "The Hand" from Kar Wong Wai. Beautiful, and if "Eros" is showing in your area, just watch the first two shorts and leave before the Michelangelo Antonioni disaster.

2. "The Aristocrats" — Can't wait for this to be released!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31639-2005Jan23.html

PARK CITY, Utah, Jan. 23 -- Saturday night's premiere of "The Aristocrats" was so packed that even the producers of the movie had trouble getting in, but when filmmakers Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette (Penn being the larger, talkier half of the magic act Penn & Teller) finally introduced their offering, they looked a little nervous.

Even the notes for the Sundance Film Festival warned, "This is one of the most shocking, and perhaps for some, offensive films you will ever see." "So, ahh, strap in and just have a good time," said Provenza, who suggested that the film was really about love and joy -- and 89 minutes of the most scatological, filthy, disgusting humor imaginable. The prison sentence has not yet been handed down for the crimes against nature herein described by 100 comics, including Drew Carey, Phyllis Diller, Jon Stewart, Richard Lewis, Jason Alexander, Steven Wright, Robin Williams, Don Rickles, Paul Reiser and the cartoon kids from "South Park."

{snipped)

"The Aristocrats" is a documentary about a single joke -- a joke that has circulated among comics since at least the days of vaudeville, and, as Provenza likes to imagine, maybe back to Will Shakespeare getting wiggy in a bawdyhouse in Elizabethan England.

Yet this joke is kind of a secret handshake among comedians, downright Masonic, Da Vinci Code stuff, rarely performed in public, told instead in delis, greenrooms, bars. It is a 4-in-the-morning joke. It is a joke that would make gangsta rappers blush
