Is it 22nd November already? Time for another shot at this, then.

Possibly a slight spoiler for The Joneses, in the middle.

Some very random 80's Horror
Spoiler for "Dead and Buried"
NB:
In "City of the Living Dead" somehow a zombie invasion occurs because a priest commits suicide.
The Boyle family move into "The House By the Cemetery"
There's no way to describe "Society" really... um... well... the upper class in an American town are revealed to be inhuman creatures who absorb, melt and eat the lower classes. Great film.

That's what I thought when I heard about it too, as much as I love Owen Wilson.
In homes, though, I've often seen kids watching it on D.V.D., so perhaps its post-cinema sales have been stronger than others and it has built up a big audience for a sequel. The story is more tangible for young children than some of their others, so that probably helps.
Not crazy about Owen Wilson myself, but that wasn't the problem with the movie. I think it was Bafta who pointed out the biggest problem in that how did a universe populated only by cars build that world? And I found the eyes of the cars very annoying to watch. The story line was okay, I guess - had a fairly good lesson to it, but for me, it was, on the whole, blah. Still, I guess kids like that sort of stuff.
However, with Paul Newman no longer with us, I truly doubt I'll bother to see it. It was his voice that made me want to see the first film, and he was great.
(Voted!)

Thank you, Baffy.
Cracovian, your review of the excellent A Single Man just doesn’t hang together for me. Goode (having died) is being mourned, not doing the mourning. Grammatically, I can't make the review fit the film.

It's totally fine grammatically: it's a proper noun + gerund, rather than the proper noun + present participle structure that Firth mourning would have if applied to that film, i.e. the head noun is mourning whereas in the latter it would be Firth. It's just like ice-cream flavouring meaning the flavouring of ice cream and not that some ice cream is flavouring something else.
But no problem that you don't like it. |

Max's such-and-such can only mean such-and-such of Max and not Max is such-and-such, since Max ends in /s/. More importantly, doesn't BaftaBabe already have those Sunnyside puns covered? |

I think that's the level of question that all animated films would fall down on, but I agree that the story is not too engaging. |
