Arguments are down the hall.

Is this the right room for an argument?[argue]I've told you once.
No you haven't.[argue]Yes I have.
When?[argue]Just now!
No you didn't.[argue]Yes I did!
Didn't.[argue]Did.
Didn't.[argue]I'm telling you I did!
You did not![argue]I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half-hour?
Oh, just a five minute one.[argue]Fine. Thank you.[argue]Anyway I did.
You most certainly did not.[argue]Now, let's get one thing quite clear... I most definitely told you!
You did not.[argue]Yes I did.
You did not.[argue]Yes I did.
Didn't.[argue]Yes I did.
Didn't.[argue]Yes I did!!
Look this isn't an argument.[argue]Yes it is.
No it isn't, it's just contradiction.[argue]No it isn't.
Yes it is.[argue]It is not.
It is. You just contradicted me.[argue]No I didn't.
Ooh, you did![argue]No, no, no, no, no.
You did, just then.[argue]No, nonsense!
Oh, look this is futile.[argue]No it isn't.
I came here for a good argument.[argue]No you didn't, you came here for an argument.
Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction.[argue]It can be.

No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition.[argue]No it isn't.
Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction.[argue]Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
But it isn't just saying "No it isn't".[argue]Yes it is.

No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.[argue]No it isn't.
Yes it is.[argue]Not at all.
Now look![argue]Thank you, good morning.
What?[argue]That's it. Good morning.
But I was just getting interested.[argue]Sorry the five minutes is up.
That was never five minutes just now![argue]I'm afraid it was.
No it wasn't.[argue]I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
What!?[argue]If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
But that was never five minutes just now... oh come on! This is ridiculous.[argue]I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.
Oh. All right. (pays) There you are.[argue]Thank you.
Well?[argue]Well what?
That was never five minutes just now.[argue]I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.
I've just paid.[argue]No you didn't.
I did! I did! I did![argue]No you didn't.
Look I don't want to argue about that.[argue]Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay.
Aha! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing... got you![argue]No you haven't.
Yes I have... if you're arguing I must have paid.[argue]Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.

Lucy

That grape-stomping scene still rules!

This is clearly a made-for-television movie. The plot line follows the rhythm that allows for commercial advertising breaks. Nonetheless, the form suits the content: how the real-life coupling of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz led to the birth of a new comedic genre - the sitcom.

Ball's goofy and good-natured ability to recount funny stories foreshadowed the eventual development of her unique physical humour. Rachel York uses her considerable talents effectively in her inspired performance as this very contemporary clown. Did Lucille Ball really receive coaching from Buster Keaton and Red Skelton or is this merely a fictional embellishment, creating a bridge between her mostly unknown film roles and her emergence as a television star?

"Lucy" wisely does not recreate many scenes from the original "I Love Lucy" shows, with the stunning exception of the grape-stomping scene. Though the intervening years have provided TV and movie audiences with new comedians, the verve and the brilliance of Lucille Ball, as played in that particular scene, is well worth revisiting.

Deep Sleep

3 giu 1999

Well-written and performed psychological thriller

"Deep Sleep" is a well-paced psychological thriller, reminiscent of Hitchcock's "Marnie". It makes appropriate connections between right-wing politics and violence, in the manner of John Sayles' films. Intriguing and worth watching. The lead role is played by Megan Follows (of TV's Anne of Green Gables fame) as an emotionally volatile young woman, a brilliant bit of casting. The plot twists, turns and goes in directions that may surprise the viewer. Solid performances are given by other actors in supporting roles. The controversial issues explored by "Deep Sleep" are not glossed over nor trivialized. The director and writer, Patricia Gruben's creativity, though fueled by her anger, never treats the audience as prisoners to a "correct" polemic or point of view. We are left to understand our own responses to vividly photographed scenes of physical and emotional hide-and-seek that work on many levels. A viewer attentive to the verbal and visual clues may unlock the mystery before the shock ending.
