The Felt Leaning

No sentimentality. Just play the notes.

Owen Wilson Gives Luis Buñuel The Idea for THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL

i assume that most of ya’ll have seen this already, but i just re-watched Midnight in Paris this weekend and was struck by how much better and more thoroughly this silly little bit works than so many of the fun but one-note cameos that pepper the film. i mean, this is just a touch more pertinent to Gil’s reveries than Adrien Brody referring to himself as “Dali!” over and over again. 

cute movie. now where’s the twisted, vitriolic, and abstract Buñuel biopic for which the world* has been waiting? 

* in this case, the word “world” is used as a synonym for “me.” 

I thought this was rather clever myself.
