Double Feature

Watched two movies last night. Things I had bought on dvd that I had yet watch. They were both movies I had seen before but I had only seen each of them one time and long ago.

The movies didn't go together at all. But both are good in their own ways.


The first was Rushmore. You really can't go wrong with Wes Anderson. although I have yet to see The Darjeeling Limited, but I own all of his other films.


The next was THX 1138. I remember seeing this on TV one afternoon when I was a kid. I remember it because they kept the nudity in when they showed it. So odd. This is a weird flick.
George Lucas apparently named the film after his San Francisco telephone number, 849 1138 - the letters THX correspond to letters found on the buttons 8, 4 and 9.

Rushmore is my second favorite film. The music alone makes me infinitely happy. I saw Darjeeling at the theater and there was an intro with Natalie Portman that wasn't on the DVD - maybe they included it on the Blu Ray?

Thanks H - I got my DVD from netflix maybe that was the issue. That scene alone is worth a purchase.
