Actually, Bogie got to show off a lot of chemistry in that movie - he had that great scene in the bookstore when he lets the (really cute) clerk in on what he's doing vis-a-vis the bookstore across the street.
Yes! The first I saw the movie I went, "Wait a minute! I thought he was after Bacall? Who's she now?"
I believe ita, at least, will enjoy today's IMDb poll:
It looks as if Tom Hanks is going to star in the Holy Grail mystery thriller The DaVinci Code. What should they do to the adaptation of the runaway bestseller to make it more "Hanksian"?
- Add a small mouse who leads him to the clues about the Holy Grail
- Team him up with an American astronaut, played by Tim Allen
- Turn it into a computer-animated extravaganza where he plays all the characters
- Bring in Wilson the Volleyball as a sidekick
- Introduce historical figure Mary "The Mermaid" Magdalene
- Put one of the clues inside a box of chocolates
- Add dancing keyboard sequence in the Louvre
- Set it in outer space, call it The Apollo Code 13
- Have him accidentally "out" DaVinci during an acceptance speech
- Go for broke -- cast Meg Ryan and turn it into a romantic comedy caper
Results here, until tomorrow.
Meg Ryan! Better call than Julia Roberts.
Oh yeah! Plus, there's a chance that the combined saccharine levels could put whoever greenlighted this turkey into a diabetic coma when he watches the dailies.
Oh, dear. I'm reading this entry in People's sexiest men and notice the phrase:
he'll romance Meg Ryan for In the Land of Women
oh, ick.
That's weird, because my roommate was just telling me that he and Rachel Bilson have a contract with each other that the only people that they'll kiss will be each other, no matter how much the script calls for it.
She probably read something inaccurate.
Well, it seems that
she's broken it already, what with kissing the new love interest on The OC.
That's a good point, ita. Maybe their pact is something about the way it's done?
Because that kiss wasn't really that big a deal. It was just kind of quick.
But I honestly have no idea.
In high school, I had a friend who had a theory that if one half of a celebrity couple had a hot and heavy love scene onscreen with someone other than their real-life partner, it meant their marriage (or whatever) was in trouble.
I know there are probably more exceptions than couples that's true for, but the Rachel Bilson/Adam Brody rumor reminded me of it.
But it's not the actor kissing someone else, it's their character kissing another character...(not getting it, I guess).
Hey kids, it's another version of Evil Dead! Except not directed by Raimi, and should be it's own version and not a studio/distributor thing. Still, it fills in that last bit of DVD shelf next to all the other Evil Dead versions.
