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.
Bear in mind, he's reprising the role that made Michael Caine a star in Alfie.
Eh. He's playing an entirely different character called Alfie in a film that bears no resemblence to the Gilbert film
Did Alfie break Caine in the US? Because it was Zulu and (especially The Ipcress File which made him a star over here.
I thought HURRY SUNDOWN broke Caine in the US ...oh, you meant as a success?
In all seriousness, I don't know if IPCRESS was very big here, but ZULU I've seen written up as a turning point here as well. It probably didn't make him a star, but it got him attention.
I thought Ipcress was pretty big over here, but I don't know if that's just an impression I got from how often it was shown on TV when I was growing up.
Rewatched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers over the weekend. It kinda bugged me a bit. At the end, wouldn't the dad's see that it was ONE baby, not 6 and NOT make the girls marry the boys? Or did the girls keep up the charade that they had in fact, had THE SEX so the dads would let them marry the boys or am I really reading too much into a musical that's about kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome?
The best part about Seven Brides is the barn-raising dance. The rest of it--eh.
Well, the dads didn't know which of the girls had had Teh Sex, just that one did, so they all had to get married just in case.
Right. The girls weren't fessing up as to whose baby it was. Think of Lace before its time.
Course, them bein' frontier days, all Daddy really needed to do was wait an hour and see who leaked.
Think of Lace before its time.

Wow. I don't even remember this from my Cub Scout days. Though it earwormed me with the forest ranger song from Little Mary Sunshine.
I only saw the trailer for Cars, which looks... unimpressive.
That was about my reaction.
Huh. I was really annoyed at being delayed from the movie I came to see. But I'm a curmudgeon.
Steph is me. I spent the entire short going "Come on, when are we going to get to the movie?"
I only saw the trailer for Cars, which looks... unimpressive.
Oh, I've been meaning to say:
The original teaser for The Incredibles was funny, but not really in any way related to the final movie. I wasn't all that impressed by it. Basically, that teaser said "This movie is about a semi-retired superhero, and it's by Pixar."
To me, this Cars teaser was exactly the same thing. It said "This movie is about anthropormorphic cars, and it's by Pixar. And dadgum is a funny word."
So I put little stock in it. Teasers are weird that way.
