'Heart Of Gold'
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.
That strip's a classic, P-C.
I think Warner's main reason for wanting to cast so young (and 25 really doesn't seem young to me) is they want sequels.
However, I do blame TV/Movies for the fact that I have a real hard time pegging the ages of people 16 to 24.
25 really doesn't seem young to me
It wouldn't seem as young to me if it wasn't Tom Welling's age.
Just finished watching Saved!
Loved it and shall own it.

Yummy. Haven't watched the commentary yet, but it's one of the many things vying for my attention this weekend (along with the latest Veronica Mars, Joan of Arcadia, and Lost.)
Will mention (for the fifth time. at least.) now, that I watched it 6-7 times this summer. The last time I watched it, I tried to read (some really good Harry Potter fanfic), but put down the reading about 10 minutes in to watch again.
Saw A Home at the End of the World last night. Good, but not spectacular. What really surprised me was Colin Farrell - he put in a moving and subtle performance, something I wasn't entirely sure he was capable of. I'm looking forward to Alexander with slightly less trepidation now.
Jars--I thought the film didn't quite jell, but still found it very moving in parts and worth watching. I totally agree with you on CF. He is also impressive in Tigerland.

And the only thing worth watching in Minority Report.
I'll be watching Alexander, but mainly because at least they kept the whole slept-with-guys-too part.
They have awful posters. Really bad. I'm assuming that contract negotiations led to the floating head nature of them, and not because anyone overly liked the aesthetics.
Was the tragic hair contractually specified as well?
I'll be awtching it, just 'cuz, but I've already mentioned in Bitches that it's bound to bug the living crap out of me, because the preview features a line by CF's Alexander talking about "uniting the lands and freeing the people," and I hate, hate, HATE this trope in historical epics SO MUCH!
Nobody back then gave a flying fuck about freeing the people, especially not Alexander. I really hate historical epics making all previous empires into America wannabes.
