Filmspotting #166: Paris, Je T'aime / Gun Crazy / Top 5 Actors We'd Cast In Our Movie


June 29: Much of the new collaborative film "Paris, Je T'aime" is, appropriately, in French. And if you haven't seen the film, Adam and Sam's review may sound a lot like watching a foreign language film... without subtitles. With 18 love stories in 18 Paris neighborhoods from 18+ writer/directors, a coherent conversation about "Paris" proved to be a difficult juggling act. But with a film that pits the Coen Brothers against Tom Tykwer and Alexander Payne against Alfonso Cuaron, it might just be a conversation worth navigating.

Also on the show: Listener Feedback, Massacre Theatre, the fourth movie in our Film Noir Marathon, "Gun Crazy," and the Top 5 Actors We'd Cast In Our Movie.

Music by The Winter Sounds courtesy of Livewire Recordings.

Oh man, I really want to see "Haitian Divorce"! I'm a huge Steely Dan fan (and movie buff) so any dissing I may have done of Sam's opinions in the past (and I've done my share, if only privately) he has certainly redeemed himself now. Any way you can run this pitch past Fagen and Becker? Hell, they've got money (and I know DF is a big movie nut), maybe they can finance it.
