Fathers Day Celebration of Movie Dads #1

My Father’s Gift of Tecumseh!

The second look at one of my favorite movie dads. (#1 is here)

The Lebowski’s in The Big Lebowski

By the film’s end, both The Big Lebowski and the other Lebowski known as the Dude are both fathers, one of Maud and one of Maud’s baby. The Big Lebowski, as it stands, is definitely not the world’s best dad. He remarried a young blond after his wife’s death and faked her kidnapping so he could get money from his daughter Maud. While the Dude (the other Lebowski) actually helps Maud, his lady friend, to conceive her own child and by request won’t have anything to do with the child. Regardless of their parenting skills, these dads are fun to watch.

Hot off of America’s love affair with No Country for Old Men, the Coen’s will premiere their next film in at the Venice Film Festival. Burn After Reading stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton, and will open the 65th annual festival.

“Burn,” which the Coens wrote and directed, revolves around an ousted CIA official, played by John Malkovich, whose memoir falls into the hands of two Washington, D.C., gym employees, who decide to attempt to exploit their find.

After seeing Michael Haneke’s shot by shot remake of his 1997 film Funny Games this weekend I started doing a little internet hunting to see what others had to say about the film, it’s take on violence and how it worked as a remake. One of the most interesting pieces I found was in the Chicago Reader On Film Blog by Pat Graham. In his short blog entry he gives us:

Something to puzzle over …

No Country for Old Men: serial murderer, deaf to every human appeal for mercy, goes about his business with implacable dispatch”Academy Awards: best picture, best supporting actor, etc.

Michael Haneke’s Funny Games remake: serial murderers, deaf to every human appeal for mercy, go about their business with implacable dispatch”back of the critical hand, lots of righteous huffing and puffing, etc.

Not much difference between the two, at least in my opinion, yet one movie’s lionized, the other savaged as exploitive swill.

One more Oscar note before I put the 80th Academy Awards to bed when it comes to blogging. Yesterday everyone was ripping on the Oscars, calling the show boring, flat and complaining that it isn’t a show for real movie lovers. Well duh! It’s a 3+ hour awards show that’s recognizing the best in Hollywood. So of course you get a show that’s long, not too controversial and the movies that win are the best of the best of the mainstream. I’m always surprised when people get angry about this. Of course the films nominated aren’t really the best films of the year (although I thought the Academy did pretty good this year, There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton and No Country For Old Men, are actually really really good). Of course the host, in this case Jon Stewart, is kind of lame (although I thought he did a really good subtle job myself). What do you expect for a show being broadcast on a major network to tons and tons of people?

So why do I watch and why should you watch the show? Why am I always excited about it? My answers are below:

1. Back in the day really good films were nominated and did win - check out past nominees and winners from the 70’s or the 60’s or the 5o’s etc.. They were amazing films, and I guess each year I watch in hopes that things will again start to shift in American cinema, back to a time where blockbusters and the weekend box office didn’t rule the day. This year saw The Coen brothers winning a lot of awards and you know what Joel and Ethan Coen are really good filmmakers. I would argue that No Country is definitely not their best, but who knows, my guess is that more Americans will be inclined to give Barton Fink and Miller’s Crossing a look now.

Part of the fun of watching the Oscars every year is listening to the speeches and hoping for words of wisdom, inspiration and of course words that make us laugh from some of most talented folks in the industry.

Below are my Top 5 Oscar Speeches from last night that made the 3+ hour show worth it.

1. Daniel Day-Lewis winning Best Actor for There Will Be Blood : It should be said that I have long been a fan of Daniel Day-Lewis, but that aside, his acceptable speech last night had all the elements - he started off with a simple joke, inspired us with his carefully crafted tribute to the great Paul Thomas Anderson, and then touched our hearts with the thanks he gave his co-stars and his family - all the while keeping calm and not rambling.

And that’s the closest I’ll ever come to getting a knighthood, so thank you.

My deepest thanks to the members of the Academy for whacking me with the handsomest bludgeon in town. I’m looking at this gorgeous thing you’ve given me and I’m thinking back to the first devilish whisper of an idea that came to him and everything since and it seems to me that this sprang like a golden sapling out of the mad, beautiful head of Paul Thomas Anderson.

Even though I often scoff at Hollywood films that win big awards, I can’t deny that I love the Golden Globes and the Oscars. And while I support the writers and the actors decision to stick by them and not attend last night’s ceremony, when I saw the results from the Globes last night, I was really sad that there wasn’t an actual awards show.When you look at the winners (with some exceptions, like Atonement’s win for Best Drama) there was actually a lot to be excited about. The best director was Julian Schnabel, an American who actually chose to tell a story about a Frenchman in the French language (gasp!) and the best actor winner was Daniel Day-Lewis, which isn’t so surprising, except that
