Pedro’s Grand Guignol

Hey everybody: I was out of town this weekend, and more or less away from the internet.  But there’s a piece of mine on Almodóvar’s baroque Bad Education over at Ibe Tolis’ “Counting down the Noughties” project. This is a project that keeps getting better and better as the decade in question nears it’s end.  If you haven’t yet checked it out, you ought to give it a shot.  There’s some mighty fine film writing going on.

Just for the heck of it, check out this Spanish trailer for Almodóvar’s Broken Embraces (Los Abrazos Rotos), set to open here in November. As usual, I’d press play, then stop and let it load before I tried to watch it if I were you.
