'Origin'
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.
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit has horrible pan-and-scanning, noticed by me who never saw the original. Then again, the movie began with a "Filmed in Cinemascope!" thing, so maybe that's why I noticed it. However, it was bad enough to merit discussion as we talked about the film in the class I watched it in.
(Don't see the movie. It's pretty dumb.)
My TiVo keeps telling me to see it. It must hate me.
Well, if you like Gregory Peck...and the post-war fifties... and movies that seem to make three contradicting points... and very bad pan-and-scanning... then see it. It's not painful to watch or anything, and I got into it a little. But it's not the best film ever.
Saw Spidey 2.
I'll be in my bunk.
Yeah! Whatever happened to equal-opportunity gratuitous nudity?
I guess they thought the shot with Kevin's Bacon would suffice.
I wonder if McNaughton put the gratuitous shower scene back in for his director's cut.
Saw Spidey 2.
I'll be in my bunk.
James Franco?
I so do not get the James Franco thing. I see him, and I just want to smack that ridiculous pout off his face.
Obiwan is actually Henri Ducard. Now I must go google to figure out who the heck that is.
Ah, James Franco is to you what Christian Bale is to me.
I get the James Franco lust, in an objective sort of way. I don't really want to do him, but I can see why others might.
Oh, OK, if JF were lying in my bed with only a container of Ben & Jerry's cappucino heath bar crunch and a smile to his name, I probably wouldn't kick him out. But I prefer Peter Parker, in spite of Tobey's voice. There I was, empathizing with the whole geek in highschool thing, and suddenly he developed arm muscles. And, um, yeah.
