I fucking hated The Cell.

which, if nothing else, definitely took my mind off my current emotional state of dumped-ness.

Oh, {{{Alicia}}}!

If anyone's interested, there's some excellent footage of Sin City from Comic Con available here. Looks pretty good, although I'm having some problems seeing Josh Hartnett as a film noir anti-hero, no matter how pretty he is in B&W.

I saw Jersey Girl last night. first kevin smith movie i've ever liked. that probably makes me a freak. i'm okay with that.

I have concluded that somebody in my town must have the Blockbuster Movie Pass thing (same rules as Netflix, etc, only you get the movies from the store), rented Volume 1 of Six Feet Under Season 2, and has had it for the last month. Because every single time I've gone there since coming home (which has been fairly regularly - this town is really boring), it's not been there.

Oh well.

t trots off to watch 13 Going On 30

ETA: This movie is a continues SQUEE-fest.

There are also some pics of Sin City available here, here, and here.

Looks good.

He has "Bad Education" coming out this fall, another in his series of brilliant melodramas, with Gael García Bernal, sometimes in drag, as a troubled young man who was molested by a priest as a child.

I must have mentioned this already! No? It's currently number 2 in my films of the year. Just an astounding film, and GGB is smoking hot in drag. The best description I've read of it is "puts the cock into Hitchcock" - imagine if you will a gay Spanish remake of Vertigo.

Oh my, that's beautiful.

I liked Jersey Girl, but then I pretty much like all of Kevin Smith's movies. (I don't feel any need to ever watch Clerks or Dogma again, but I still think of them fondly as part of the whole Smithverse.)

Um, that would be Rope. At least, once you correct for what couldn't be put on the screen in 1948.

Is there another Bond rumour? It must be Monday.

British actor Dougray Scott has reportedly beaten off competition from actors, Eric Bana, Ioan Gruffud and Clive Owen to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. The To Kill A King hunk, 38, clinched the role after discussions with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and will be the seventh actor to appear as the sexy British agent. He will make his first appearance in the 23rd Bond movie after Eon Productions decided they wanted to return to a more brooding Bond in the mould of fellow Scot Sean Connery, reports British newspaper the Sunday Mirror. A movie insider says, "Producers have been eager to take Bond back to the broody and sexy figure that Sean was so brilliant at. Obviously it's not possible for Sean to return at his age, so they have been looking for a younger actor with similar characteristics. Since then Barbara and Dougray have been in talks - and she believes he will be the perfect new 007 for the 21st Century." Brosnan announced two months ago that he would not be starring as Bond again, saying, "That's it. I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond."

Um, that would be Rope. At least, once you correct for what couldn't be put on the screen in 1948.

And STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (like most Highsmith) is hardly lacking in the serious HoYay! department, either.
