Dawn ,'Sleeper'
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.
But I had a similar disconnect with Biel, and then heard that story about her shooting out the lens on one of the cameras -- they told her to aim for it, for the effect, never guessing she'd nail the arrow right down the barrel.
Very cool.
I might be having trouble processing "Berg" as an action hero but I'm looking forward to the movie. If it's half as good as Blade II, I'll be a happy chappy.
lexine: I've encoded a DivX AVI version of the Fat Albert trailer, available here. So you can watch it without quicktime.
ETA: I'm also willing to do this for any other trailers you want to see. Or anybody else for that matter. I know that some people think Quicktime on Windows is evil (perhaps rightly), but many trailers are only available in it.
Now they are making a movie of The Hitchhiker's Guide? Let's see, didn't it start out as a radio series, and then become a book, and *then* a tv series? Or were the book and the tv series reversed? And now it is a movie. Yeah, that will just about tap out the possibilities unless they want to repackage it once more as a graphic novel.
Burrell, if I recall correctly, Douglas Adams was working with Jay Roach, I think it was, on a screenplay for a while. So it's not like this thing Hollywood's taking advantage of, it's DNA-sanctioned.
It's already been a graphic novel - and a photo reenactment of the radio series in book form. Also an enormous video game.
I knew about the video game, but I decided to not include it since, technically, it follows a different plot. Very amused about the graphic novel, however.
