I just happened upon "How to Steal a Million." I had NO IDEA Peter O'Toole was so disturbingly sexy. Brilliant, yes, I knew that, but he's so smooth and charming and adorable. I think I only know him from his more character-y roles. And Audrey Hepburn..perfection as always. Why have I never seen this charming little confection?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
HTSAM has to be my favorite vintage O'Toole. It was where I first encountered him, and his blue, blue eyes. He and Hepburn were just divine together, even though both of them did grittier stuff authentically. O'Toole didn't get to do light comedy often.
I have trouble deciding if "Million" with O'Toole is my favorite Hepburn movie, or the much more well-known Charade, with Grant.

Just got back from watching De-Lovely.
Well... the songs were nice.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Nah, De-Lovely isn't a deal-breaker for me. I liked it well enough, but I'm glad I only paid matinee price, because it had some problems. (Though despite those problems, part of me wants to see it again.)

So I just watched the Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow trailer, along with the clip. Is there a pull for the movie besides the cast and being a special effects extravaganza? I mean, it looks cool and all, action-packed and retro-futuristic, but I was wondering whether the hype surrounding it had to do with more than the fact that everything is CGI but the actors.

Ah, but now you have learned!
And are wiser for it.
I had a deeply disturbing Peter O'Toole crush going when I was 20 or so. This lead to me watching Caligula for class credit, among the other highlights.

I dunno if it's a pro for general audiences, but Pulp-era style adventure stories pretty much ensure my rear in a theater seat regardless of who the stars are. This is sometimes a bad thing, as it means I was unable to take a pass on The Phantom.

I love HTSAM.
Definitely better than Charade.
