Big Fish also made me tear up on second viewing. Though I'm fairly sure it did on first viewing as well.
I like that movie. Tim Burton's visual style is just so...awesome.

Up with the sun
We saw "The Village" last night.
Both Bryce Howard and her character deserved a much, much betetr movie. And I don't know what the real age difference is, but Joaquin Phoenix felt too old for the part, and his character was really annoying. (Inman in "Cold Mountain" is the same idea, I think, only actually done well.)
As for the twist -- I actually don't think it's a bad idea, so much as it's handled badly. I would have liked to see more how they made their life in the village, and less people running around in ugly costumes.

I wonder if I can start a rumor that he wants to marry Liza for her money? If successful it might not affect his career, but it could ensure that he'll never again have a boyfriend for Kevin Spacey to steal.

Sci Fi Wire also reports that Fox (or 20th Century) has terminated Bryan Singer's producation deal, but that Singer is willing to be involved with the 3rd X-Men movie even as just a producer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Honestly, if they're playing him that young, I don't see how they can cast someone Welling's actual age that's not him.
Though the idea that Tom has the chops to play Superman any differently from Superboy is a wee bit farfetched.
Goddamn it, Victor Webster is still unemployed, isn't he?

FUCK.

Yes -- but he still wants a part of it.
Victor Webster -- that would be fun.
BTW, ita -- have you noticed that Dean Cain has a tv series on CBS this fall?

I'm unprepared to despair if Stewart and McKellen are still signed on for any eventual filming. Though it would be just our luck if Halle does a 180° and gets all "I was BORN to play Storm!" now.
