Jerome, that's a very enjoyable little film ... but I'd better not hog the entire guessing game.

Ann Drysdale 05-14-2012 08:15 AM

Of course Brian was right about Marienbad - inasmuch as anyone can ever be...

Three steel men, close friends since they met:
Each sought to become a cadet;
It seemed like good fun
To carry a gun
Until they played Russian Roulette.

O Marion what have you done?
You've embezzled and gone on the run,
Where your nemesis waits
Thanks to young Master Bates,
Who is such an affectionate son.

The author, one Alain Robbe-Grillet,
Said “What’s it about? Ca fait chier!
I’ve thought since a lad
About Marienbad,
But what it all means still beats me, eh?”

That Obscure Object of Desire

While extremists ignite sturm und drang
and Mathieu tells his tale to a gang,
two actresses flirt
with a spoiler alert,
and then everything ends with a bang.

Her body was found on the floor; a
Detective becomes her adorer.
When the door is unlocked
And she enters, he’s shocked,
For she’s dead, so how can it be Laura?

Pedro Poitevin 05-14-2012 09:46 AM

Chapeau, Brian!

Nigel, that's a scweam.
(The King's Speech)

Pedro, since you scooped me on The Seventh Seal, you force me to do this:

In a style that's exclusively Jack's
He comes to the door with an axe,
Then sticks his head in
And says with a grin:
"Here's Johnny!" How Jack overacts!

Chris O'Carroll 05-14-2012 10:16 AM

Life at Tara is all glitz and glam.
Humble slaves say yassuh and yes ma’am
Then secessionist masters
Make war, and disasters
Befall the South. Who gives a damn?
