At least the article says that Richards hasn't been signed yet , which suggests that it is something that they are working towards.
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.
Depp as Wonka looks disturbingly (or not, depending on your perspective) like Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in Velvet Goldmine?
Willy Wonka genderfuck. I mean, first there was Marilyn Manson, and now glam. I think I need to lie down before my brain starts going to places which are incredibly perverse and wrong.
Oh, too late.
Has anyone here seen the movie Improptu, starring Judy Davis as George Sand and Hugh Grant (pre-fame) as Chopin?
I am having a HUGE case of not-remembering-- There is a scene where Judy hides under the piano while Hugh is playing and is very aroused by the song/playing/Chopin himself. What Chopin piece is playing? I can hear it in my head, but I cannot remember what the name is.
I also really quite liked that movie, and do recommend it to just about anyone-- the cast includes Emma Thompson, Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters as well and they are all wonderful!
I love that movie too, Sophia, but I don't remember the music.
I love that movie too
I bought a VHS copy of it, used, from the video counter at the grocery store where I worked as a teen. Apparently I was the only person who rented it!
I own it too, though it may be on the list of ones I was supposed to send Anne and Kate P months and months ago.
I just added Impromptu to my Netflix queue. Thanks to you folks, my queue is up to 217. Granted, some of those are Farscape episodes, but still. Lucky I've got vacation time coming.
The wonderful thing about Bond casting rumours, is that they can last forever. Propose, nix, deny, suggest. Anyway, Colin Farrell says he's not doing it. He does go on, though:
While he nixed Bond, the 28-year-old actor confirmed that he's considering stepping into the role of police Detective Sonny Crockett for a movie version of the '80s TV drama "Miami Vice."
I'm looking forward to Closer, I think, and not just for the Natalie Portman love/lust. The preview article in EW makes it sound really interesting. I am sad that Julia Roberts replaced Cate Blanchett, who I generally prefer, but other than that it looks pretty excellent.
Impromptu was wonderful, but I have no idea what the Chopin piece in that scene was. Sorry!
