Raising Arizona ----- Old School Movie Review #8
i love movies. there-- said it. i can't help myself when they tell me that they are going to show fun movies-- outdoors-- at sundance-- for free.
thanks- i will be there.
last night i went and saw "Raising Arizona" and i have to say that the Coen brothers continue to entertain me. i love the humor in the over-dramatic stereotype of southwestern hicks. cage is so brilliantly white trash and the dialogue could be comprable at times to my Diablo Cody's wit. i enjoyed it thoroughly and will be attending many more of these films. i thank you.[Evelle is buying diapers] Evelle: You know how to put these things on? Grocer: Well, around the butt and up over the groin area. Evelle: I know WHERE they go, old timer. I just want to know if I need pins or fasteners. Grocer: Well, no, they got them tape-ettes already on there. It's self-contained and fairly explanatory. Policeman: Do you have any disgruntled employees? Nathan Arizona Sr: Hell, they're all disgruntled. I ain't running no damn daisy farm. My motto is "Do it my way or watch your butt!" Policeman: Well, do you think any of them could've done it? Nathan Arizona Sr: Oh, don't make me laugh. Without my say-so they wouldn't piss with their pants on fire. Prison Counsellor: Why do you say you feel "trapped" in a man's body? "Trapped" Convict: Well, sometimes I get them menstrual cramps real hard. the last line of the film (as he is dreaming about tons of kids and grandkids all around) H.I: [thinking] If not Arizona, then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable. And all children are happy and beloved. I don't know. Maybe it was Utah. ...for an audience of Utans (this one raised in AZ)... brilliant.
