Jude Law is eager to be in the movie of Watchmen.
Ozymandias, I presume?

Watchmen is considered one of the greatest comic books of all time. X-Men screenwriter David Hayter wrote the script for Watchmen, the site reported. Filming is tentatively scheduled for late 2005, allowing Aronofsky time to finish The Fountain, his SF epic starring Hugh Jackman.
The what now? What do we know about The Fountain? I don't think I've heard of it until now.

Given Hugh's recent film script choices...my instinct is that there won't be an Oscars sweep involved.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Ozymandias, I presume?
Oh, Cripes. That would be perfect casting.

I think The Fountain was going to be Blanchett and Pitt, but Aranofsky (sp?) argued with Pitt and he left, and Blanchett got pregnant and left. Aranofsky got the movie going again by cutting out the big expensive sets (and Pitt leaving was probably quite a savings). So it is now being made for half the original budget, and with Jackman and Rachel Weisz starring.
For a man who made Pi and Requiem for a Dream fairly fast and cheap the Hollywood thing must be a nightmare. He was on a Batman: Year One at one point and a WW 2 film ended in pre producion before or during the whole Fountain thing.
I think the plot of The Fountain is something about the fountain of youth, and maybe time travel.

Ha! Just popping in the say, just watched Hellboy on DVD, and enjoyed it muchly. As I knew I would but somehow just couldn't get my ass to the theater to watch it when it came out.
My favorite, favorite part is when the Nazi SuperAssasin comes at the Jeffrey Tambor FBI guy wielding his deadly blades, and JT trips backward, falls, looks at SuperAssasin Nazi in complete shock and says, "WHAT is WRONG with you?"
I love that that's his reaction to supernatural, evil, deadly force. Heh. I'm still laughing!
Anyway.

Thrive to spite them
I finally saw Master and Commander and now I'm kicking myself repeatedly for not seeing it in the theater.
Although I have a feeling I might have felt seasick.

Okay. If the implants were so all-fired complex and stuff, why then, did their removal have no effect?
plus when did the conversation containing the phrase 'kill us both' take place?
and if my headache wasn't making me queasy enough...and believe me, it is, the incestyay was so, so, so creepy. Meryl pulled that off with extra special sauce.
And, I think her makeup was enhanced to make her look mondo-creepier right then.
The best parts? The soundtrack and Liev whom I only wish I could dream about being my sooper sekrit boyfriend.
Anybody have a blunt heavy object handy to knock me unconscious? Ascriptin has not helped, and my head is splitting.
I feel like I've got an implant!
