Wash ,'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Not surprising that he'd hit it eventually, as he uses a different accent for every role.
Except for Colin Farrell, who is kind of icky
Colin's hot when viewed upon a screen, from which it is impossible to contract any of numerous sexually transmitted diseases. In person, I'd guess NSM.

Yeah, true. Can he just keep this one? Please?
I'm a little shocked at my reaction.
I am now of the mind that 2005 will be my favorite movie summer in a while. With Serenity AND Batman, how could it not be?
I mean, 2003 had X-Men 2, and, well, nothing else I cared about. 2004 has Bourne Supremacy. Guess 2002 had the Identity. But I'm not big on the summer blockbusters, typically.
I guess Spider-Man was in there somewhere, both 1 and 2. But the excitement level for that was not nearly as high.
So what's supposed to be so damn good about The Triplets of Belleville ? I just watched it and I'm pretty meh about it. Also meh on Touch of Evil and meh with a touch of eh on Welcome to the Dollhouse.
I thought "Touch of Evil" was sexy but weird. The other ones, I've not seen.
Polter-Cow, I am so very sorry, but you are now DEAD TO ME. I just want to crawl inside the world of Touch of Evil and roll around in it for days and days, or dark lurky nights and dark lurky nights. The goggle-eyed desk clerk! Marihuana! Orson Welles' colossal, decaying, repellant and horribly tragic monster of an alter ego! Marlene Dietrich's mostly improvised dialogue (especially Your future's all used up )! Janet Leigh's little lacy teddy! That best-ever-in-the-history-of-anything long, long opening shot! The final shot of Quinlan! Buh... buh... buh... All that, and more, and you're all meh?
weeps
I share your Triplets of Belleville "eh?", PC.
More Truffaut--I watched Shoot the Piano Player and it's one of the most alive movies I've ever seen, which is ironic because it's about a guy who would like nothing better than to withdraw from life for good. It was filled with so many little touches and tangents that it really felt like life, truly real, even though it wasn't filmed in a ultra-realistic way. Fantastic editing and use of music, too.
Yeah, true. Can he just keep this one? Please?
I hope it's not close to the one he used for Laurel Canyon. It'd be nice to have at least a tiny part of me that doesn't want to hump Batman. (This was SO not a problem in the days of West or Keaton...)
Triplets is just so wonderfuly weird. and great music.
