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 guess the fuckwads are remaking the George Pal "War of the Worlds" (or possibly the Orson Welles version) and ignoring the H. G. Wells "War of the Worlds".
There's a competing version of War of the Worlds from Pendragon Pictures and director Timothy Hines that's just finished shooting. It's set in the 19th century, and is supposed to be a highly faithful adaptation of Wells.
Jessica just reminded me, re: Sky Captain, did any one else think "Rivendell!" when they showed Shangri-La?
Nonian, I said "Rivendell!" out loud at that part.
I went to see Hellboy again last night (free screening at a local college). I don't know why I love that movie so much, I just do.
Nonian, I said "Rivendell!" out loud at that part.
Me, I said, "It's Attack of the Clones !"
I don't know why I love that movie so much, I just do.
Because a big red devil-looking guy sits on a rooftop eating milk and cookies with a ten-year-old and making fun of the square macking on his girl.
I saw Sky Captian today! I'm going to have to go back and see it again, because I missed some of the things that were posted in white font. but I won't mind seeing it again. It was lovely. I was reminded of some anime, especially Big O.
P-C and other Anne Hathaway fans -- she is one of the women that Premiere magazine is featuring in the October women in film issue. (Others are Angelina Jolie, Patrcia Clarkson, Queen Latifah, Liza Chasin, and Olivia de Havilland.)
We are watching The Apple.
It is... interesting.
I just saw Vanity Fair. Which was not all bad, although the social conventions weren't all that accurate. I found it hard to believe even an ambitious woman like Becky would be seen in public in that outfit she wore for the Indian dance number.
Reese Witherspoon looks marvelous in red, but -- and Susan will correct me if I'm wrong -- isn't red completely verboten for respectable women during the time period?
The designers have copped in public to completely redoing the fashionable colour schemes from demure to more vibrant.
