PMDb in ReadltandWeep



Every now and then we get a mention in the press or on other sites, and some while back, the PMDb was cited on the ReadltandWeep blog. According to the authors of this site "ReadltandWeep is a podcast about movies with a focus on weird, bad, and blockbusting. Each month we pick a theme and our best listeners vote on the movies in that theme."

PMDb got it's moment in the limelight, in the podcast #438: Moonraker (1979) around minute 18:00. It was funny to hear the surprised reaction of the participants when the PMDb was introduced by one of them. I clearly understand that the meaning of this project can seem a bit weird, but trust me, just watch the films with the appropriate filter.... pigeons are there!!! and someone has to do the job of reporting them... an enjoyable job, at that.

Revisiting Home Alone 2

Recently, I revisited Home Alone 2 and I found a funny (though unkind) scene that went unnoticed in my previous review. Here Harry (Joe Pesci) notices a nearly group of pigeons. In his usual way, he gently invites the birds to keep their distance him. I really enjoyed Pesci's acting and how he is able to create such comic scenes with his bad mood. Harry, the pigeons will never forgive your rudeness.
