08.22.06Alamo Downtown This is a lot like one of those posthumously released albums of b-sides and demos that famous bands release to make a little more money even though they're dead... except in this case it's worth it because the characters of little and big Edie Beale are so interesting. It does feel like the b-side to Grey Gardens but that's ok... fans of that movie shouldn't like this movie any less... These scenes deal a lot more with the other characters surrounding them (namely Jerry and Louis), as well as more singing, arguing, swimming, and prancing. There's even a montage of all of Edie's fashionable outfits thrown together at the end, presumably for the sea of fashion designers who love this movie... It doesn't quite have the dramatic thrust that Grey Gardens has... more just an extended collection of deleted scenes, but it's still nice to go back and visit them once again...
