MooPig CUT\PASTE Movie REviews: "Existentialist Issues"

by Pat Darnell and the Herd



We cannot right now for the life of us remember the name of the movie we recently viewed. We remember some plot and characters, so we will go ahead and review the movie:

Not
Rodney Dangerfield, but another tragic comedic actor plays a "Doctor of Existentialism." He is married to Lily Tomlin's character, who is in real life a lesbian, who plays also a "PhD in Clinical Existentialism." They are called into action to find and identify, diagnose and cure, a young couple's existential issues. It has something to do with, or not, a former Governor of Arkansas... no, wait...

Just remembered -- the male actor,
Dustin Hoffman, "Little Big Man, The Graduate, ... " is the "PhD in EggsRessential Psy."
So, and therefore, the premise is the posit that to exist is to be diagnosed, therefore what was did, had not existence until they all existed, not as They, rather as Them; When the null result is positive, as comedian Al Camus concurs, and all that jazz. Shut up.


From beginning to end, trying to make sense of things that are nevermeant to make sense; it turns out, to be a 2003-4 clausterfrakkin,' knuckleduster in the making back when and before C Bale out-yelled even the senior Yell Chief at [TX A and M University] -- TAMU -- to frighten and ignite even the most existential sparks, flaming pyre's and lighting man on stage-lighting duty while making the damn films:
Do NOT F**k with Lily Tomlin

I leapt at the chance to watch these videos—capturing Lily Tomlin and director David O. Russell fighting like maniacs on the set of I Heart Huckabees— *[that title sounds familiar; who is in that one?]* when I first saw them hyped on the web last week. But by the time I followed the links, the videos had been removed from YouTube. But now they’re back, and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when the sublime artistry of Lily Tomlin is subjected to a notoriously flaky director with a temper problem should watch ‘em while they can.

Tomlin vs. Russell over headset:
*[This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.]*
Hmmmmm... this is not going well; at MooPig Movie Reviews we like to wait till the DVD comes out, but we more often like to wait until the cinematic effort has time to stew, soften, obtain a mojo, get funky before defecating it in stone here at MooPig Enterprises. We understand our reviews are coveted world wide.

So in reverse order... second chance at youTube: existentially speaking: here is
another youTube link on that subject that we cannot speak: as youTube did not even exist when the movie went into rotation: or does it exist before as a dream state reality: do not tempt shock management:
*[This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.]*
Whoa, now that is a less than blatant statement for Existentialists everywhere. Apparently this movie has fallen outside even our parody limits.

That even hurts. Let's try again:



Okay that didn't work. Let's move on... Here is a followup: Update: Following a tip from Slog commenter Monkey, I found Tomlin’s recent discussion of the footage, in which she is embarrassed and forgiving and gracious. These are much better reviews for this movie.
Say What? Say Why? Searching for the meaning of life in a movie that barely exists By Robert Wilonsky | October 07, 2004
-- and --
[....]?


This review has turned into boring drivel; and that comes through the final film. Therefore we will post this last word from Lily Tomlin from an interview she did in 2000:
How does your experience acting on film compare with your work in theater?

Well, it's like what Trudy says at the end of The Search, about the space aliens and their emphasis on theater--how they get goose bumps from watching the audience instead of the play. That's the essence of the theatrical experience. You have a bunch of people sitting in the dark together, watching something live that they're all participating in in that moment, something that will never be exactly the same again. And that's what I mean when I say theater is beautiful--that's what theater is about for me. There are times it just takes your breath away. It's like seeing God or something.
Quote: "Jason Schwartzman should have just retired after making Rushmore, because now he sucks."
Details:
Directed by David O. Russell. Screenplay by Russell and Jeff Baena. Starring Dustin Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Lily Tomlin, Mark Wahlberg, Naomi Watts, and Jude Law.
Subject: I Heart Huckabees Oh yeah that is the name of this Movie... there you go.
