The Other Nashville is Coming to the Criterion Collection

Meaning, of course, Robert Altman’s glorious 1975 film (not the one with Julianne Moore naked, that’s Short Cuts, not the one with war, that’s M*A*S*H, not the one which is just Downton Abbey, that’s Gosford Park.) Look for the shiny new edition in early December.

Now, let’s watch Lily Tomlin’s face earn that movie an Oscar:

    Gosford Park wipes its feet with Downton Abbey. Gosford Park isn’t fooled by Downton Abbey’s fake Scottish accent. Gosford Park covers for the son it gave up for adoption as a baby when he murders Downton Abbey. GOOD DAY, MADAM

      Gosford Park kisses Kelly MacDonald after saving her from Downton Abbey and it’s hotter than the entirety of Mary and Matthew’s relationship.

    THIS. This is my favourite film of all time. I make people watch it, and then after the 2 and a half hours are up, I rewind all the important parts and made them watch those parts again. I will be available to talk about this film all day. Am I getting creepy? Did you know that the characters of Barbara Jean and her husband were based on Loretta Lynn and Doolittle? Here is my favourite bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtoo_qWxYnk

    How timely! I’m going to see this in the theater tonight! If there are any other Cleveland area people reading, the Capitol is screening this one time only (tonight!) and tickets are only $5.00.
