Too many movies!

bugsybanana is spending the long weekend over here. We’re on a movie-watching binge! So far:

Saturday:
Fight Club, which I’d seen before, but she hadn’t. It’s a very different experience the second time through. Lots of scenes read very differently when you know what’s really going on.
Plan 9 From Outer Space, which she’d seen but I hadn’t. No number of watchings can save this movie. It can teach you a lot of about movie-making, by negative example.

Today:
Batman Begins, which we actually had to leave the house for. It was worth it. This movie gets Batman in a way that Burton’s never did. Certainly the best live-action Batman movie ever; I’d have to see the animated Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm again before I removed the qualifier.
Moulin Rouge, because I’d already seen it and wanted something I didn’t have to pay attention to, and she wanted something different from Batman Begins. Me: “It’s a little over-the-top....” She: “A little?!”
