I kind of liked Existenz, because of the Jude and because it was relatively unpredictble, in a good way.
"eXistenZ is PAUSED!"
Plus EXISTENZ had one of my favorite last lines of dialog ever.
I don't remember it. That right up there is pretty much the only line I remember. Cause I loved it.
If you do tell, whitefont, cause it's been long enough that I could watch it again and not remember all the plot twists. I wonder if my friend Melanie has seen it. We do movie nights to rectify the "You haven't seen _____?!"s, and we seem to have had a predilection for ultraviolence and Ian Holm.
The devil is a greedy, annoying muppet? I LIKE it.
For matrix type movies, has anyone seen Avalon? I loved it, but dreamlike polish movies directed by Japanese men are not for everyone. And that damn dog of his is in it.
The Arrival
came out about the same time as
Independence Day.
Although it was just as silly, I thought it was better done and a little funnier.
The good news: According to
EW,
Wolverine's getting his own movie.
The bad news: It's being written by the guy who wrote
Troy.
I would be more optimistic if Hugh has been able to save Van Helsing.
I don't know this for sure, but my sense is that she gets annoyed when she can't use a word that was used on TV -- and is, in fact, annoyed by censorship in general
I have chronicled, haven't I, the Globe's sports writing team's efforts at self-censorship? They involve quotes mostly broadcast on NESN, the local sports cable channel, and include, "Contrary to what everyone says, the Yankees don't [inhale excessively]," and "I really don't give a [care]."
It's a whole nother dialect unto itself. The first one I actually had to sit there breathing funny to figure out they meant "suck".
Hugh has been able to save Van Helsing.
Saving it was WAY more than an actor's job.
