i saw hugo last night, and it’s perhaps my favorite film of 2011. no, it is my favorite film of 2011.  the film was a historical fiction based around brian selznick’s novel the invention of hugo cabret. it centered on Georges Méliès and primarily his film, Le Voyage dans la lune. sitting there and watching the bits of Méliès’ film they inserted into hugo, i was transfixed as i thought i’d seen it before. then my friend excitedly reminded me it was similar to the smashing pumpkins video for tonight, tonight. and i nearly had a shit attack. that’s where billy corgan got inspiration for the video!  what a great fucking film.
