Compassionately intolerant

Calli! Underworld and Van Helsing are my current fave double header. Cheesy fun!

My previous fave double feature was El Mariachi and Desperado. But they both come on the same disk, so no creativity points earned there.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

me too, Anne. that could be because Kate Beckinsale's accent wasn't irritating. since, ya know, it was her real one.

You hit the nail on the head.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I really enjoyed Underworld.

Art Crawl!!!

I so want to see Finding Neverland. Is it out everywhere now? Or still just in "select cities".

(Because if the latter -- probably not in DeKalb yet.)

hip deep in pie

Tonight is a preview of Finding Neverland here. I think it opens here next week.

I thought Closer was opening this weekend, and I was all excited to go to a Friday matinee, since I was off. But it wasn't here.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Depp was so impressed with the kid that now the kid is playing Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Yeah, I remember reading this somewhere. There was this almost spooky center of emotional gravitas in the kid--or the character--it was rather unsettling. There is this scene in which Peter destroys the props for his play after his mother fell sick during the performance, and there's such anguish and anger in his little frame, it quite stopped my breath. It's a fantastic performance, and you see that this kid is an *actor*, not just a kid playing at acting, the moment you hear him utter his first line.

Hmm. I googled his name (Freddie Highmore) and it appears NY Times has done a a brief piece on him.

Who's hotter? Charlotte Rampling or Bo Derek?

Pfft. Charlotte Rampling, duh.

Calli! Underworld and Van Helsing are my current fave double header.

I bet your robot sidekicks have decided you've gone round the bend finally, though.

Charlotte Rampling

Somebody shoulda cast Lauren Bacall and Charlotte Rambling as mother-daughter in something. They've got the same colt-lean body, the same slanty-eyed, husky-voiced, smoldering sexuality.
