Tomorrow does not belong to this movie.

  1. Unwanted attention
  2. Appliances
  3. Surprisingly filmed on location
  4. Can art be too good?
  5. Draughts
  6. Problems with payroll
3248

It’s a stretch, but that last clue led me to “Office Space.”

3249

Well, that rules out Cabaret.

3250

Rules out Annie! too, I think.

3251

Wasn’t explicitly ruling them out, but now I am.

  5. Draughts
  6. Problems with payroll
  7. Restroom misunderstandings
3252

Now I have Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams in my brain impatiently waiting for me to decide which one can go next for the wrong guess.

Is it Tootsie?

Makeup effects for appliances, soap opera and other theatrics as art that is just too good, filmed around NYC, some drafty air unexpectedly blowing up a skirt…

3253

In that case, I will just throw out Mrs. Doubtfire, just to cover Djscman’s bases.

3254

No crossdressing in this one.

  1. Unwanted attention
  2. Appliances - vacuum cleaners, specifically

l am Cuba?

3257

Not sure why that would be surprising.

3258

I’m also not sure why it would be so surprising that Our Man In Havana was filmed on location, yet here we are.

Wasn’t it made and released before Castro took over? Or is it that the Cuban government let them film a movie that portrays them as a corrupt police state?

3259

Winner!

It surprised me, anyway. It was filmed in the immediate aftermath of the revolution, which seems like a bold choice. Sure it doesn’t show the old regime in the best light, but it’s not exactly revolutionary propaganda either, despite Castro’s best efforts.. Guinness’s character is very petty bourgeois, as well.

3260

I imagine that the fact it’s based on a Graham Greene book probably helped a lot.

3261

After a short delay, we have a new movie to figure out:

  1. Seclusion
  2. Confession of sins
  3. Jailbreak
  4. A man who doesn’t talk at all
  5. A man who only wants to talk about politics
3262

Sling Blade?

3263

Not Sling Blade.

3264
  1. A group of people in seclusion
  2. Confession of sins
  3. Jailbreak
  4. A man who doesn’t talk at all
  5. A man who only wants to talk about politics
3265

I haven’t seen it, but could it be Down by Law?

3266

O Brother Where Art Thou?
