I don't know what to think of this movie. It looks like it has the makings to be something very special. And, with such an all-star cast, it's going to be hard to resist.

I mean...Streep and Tomlin are enough alone.

I love Garrison Keillor, so I'm so there. The cast sounds pretty incredible, if a little random.

Does indeed seem Altmanized.

There's one movie I'm really anxious to see.

i'm a prairie home fan, so this is pretty cool news

I've never even heard of A PRARIE HOME COMPANION or Garrison Keillor, yet this film still looks great.

You've never heard of Garrison Keillor?

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:37pm

Nope, not at all.

Is PRARIE HOME COMPANION just like a small, cult-following kind of deal?

Do yourself a favor and read his Lake Wobegon books.

Is he like a political satirist or something?

Better yet - turn on NPR some Sunday might and listen to the actual show.

I have listened to Prairie Home Companion since I was born and I'm so excited for this movie. It had better be good.

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:43pm

Even YOU theaterbabe have heard of it? Wow...what the hell is wrong with me?

I feel like Duckman in that one episode where everyone started singing a song he didn't know.

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:45pm

Hey! What's that supposed to mean??

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:45pm

I'm just expressing surprise at how far and wide this Prarie Home thing reaches.

[theatrebabe]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:46pm

Hah. It's a great show. You'd like it.

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:49pm

Is it podcasted? I don't have a radio.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 3/12/06 at 5:50pm

You MUST listen to the radio show, Cruel. It's so funny (and I love Keillor's voice). It always reminds me of my grandmother, who had a bunch of the broadcasts on tape. The cherry-picker one was always my favorite.

I just checked, they don't podcast, but there are recordings of his stories and songs out there.

w00t.

Keillor is not overtly political. Just a brilliant storyteller who is largely responsible for the success of public radio. Without PHC, shows like "This American Life" and "Whadda Ya Know?" probably wouldn't exist.

Cute trailer- I didn't even want to shoot Trailer Voice Guy. The cast is a bit eclectic, but what the heck.

So...Meryl Streep for Mrs. Lovett? *ducks*

[Glebb]

Posted: 3/18/06 at 8:51am

H*ells yeah - Meryl Streep for Mrs. Lovett!

Can't wait to see Lily and Meryl together on the big screen. They were magic for the Oscars.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!
Did I ever tell you that I love MERYL and LILY?
