Eh, if I feel an overpowering need to see that, I'll go rent Tigerland. I'm far more concerned with his handling the emotional requirements of the role, which it sounds as if he's done superbly.

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.

I just finished watching my DVD of Aaron Vanek's short film The Yellow Sign that he was kind enough to send me. Very good handling of mood via cinematography, and an interesting updating/re-imagining of the story, though the lead actor didn't work all that well for me.
However, the last thing you want to do when watching this movie (which includes a very creepy moving puppet in some sequences) is look up and realize your plush Cthulhu is no longer sitting where it's supposed to be.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I saw Beyond the Valley of the Dolls last night. One truly screwed-up movie.
I couldn't stop laughing for the last half hour. Which can't have been the reaction the makers intended.
Roger Ebert co-wrote it. Now I know where he gets his knowledge of bad movies.
Camp-bad, yes. But bad.
Not for the kids. If for no other reason than, they shouldn't think that actual adults may behave the way some of these characters act.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The evil is this way?
You know, they don't write lines like that anymore.
Thankfully.

No, but they do steal them for use in Austin Powers movies.

I don't think even Austin Powers would touch, "Tonight you will drink the black sperm of my vengeance!"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Run. Away. Quickly.
I sort of suspect that, when in 50 years people are writing the pop history of 1987-1997 movies, they will be writing a lot about Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. Not because they made good movies, but because they made popular movies, and led the charge up the salary slope.
I mean, Routledge and AFI will not be publishing those histories. But People Magazine? The 50 years from now equivalent of Leonard Maltin?

I suppose a Klingon might. If he was especially pervy.
