Taking Woodstock
Saw this Ang Lee film last night. With Ang. Genial fellow always. I am a fan.
But....
I hate film titles that begin with-
Taking
Being
Finding
Saving
Having
Driving
Educating
Making
And maybe even -Taming and Bowling and Falling
Why? Because they sound so self-important to me.
Perhaps this is one for the couch. If I ever get there.
Ang should have asked me for my opinion and I would have said "Ang. baby, kill the 'Taking' and go for something in the vein of "Dude, Where's My Car?"
"Taking" the film is okay. I think Demitri Martin and Imelda Staunton are stand-outs. It is a Chinese food movie however.
And not because you feel stoned.

What about "Educating Rita"; I loved that movie?
I just hate the titles, not necessarily the films. ER was great. I agree.
You have a gerund problem.
I hear Varla's doing a show with a song about gerunds to the tune of Single Ladies--"If you like it then you should have put an -ing on it." Hee.
