I've never seen this Attila thing. I may need to visit Netflix.

I'm reading this IMDB snippet on His Dark Materials, and I agree that it would be pretty unsellable on a large scale with the anti-religious bent.

Huh. Okay, yes, but without the religious content, it's hardly the same story, is it?

it's hardly the same story, is it?

It gets complicated to posit one Authority that's been messing with people over that length of time without going all Illuminati, and that's still in the ballpark.

So no, not the same story, but I think the marvels and the visuals are probably what they bought it for anyway. It's a really angry story.

I've never seen this Attila thing. I may need to visit Netflix.

Not really.

Well, it's 223 in my queue, so we'll see.

It could end up being one of those "Okay, on crack and using the web" selections. I'm The One That I Want just got sent back unopened -- when I reached my limit of Cho, I forgot to go back and prune the list.

Well, it's 223 in my queue, so we'll see.

Watch it turn up in the next shipment.

What's that mysterious sound? Oh, just 222 movies all shifting to "Long Wait" at once.

stuff like that Walmart Baby flick.

Don't knock Where the Heart Is. I love it. I think it is awesome.

Can't young girls simply come over destructo-gal without it getting all oedipal?pun absolutely intended

Wait, what? How is a SWF vibe Oedipal? If you're going to talk about complexes, then why not just talk about the Electra complex?

Everything I've seen and heard of the filmed Phantom leads me to believe that it will suck enourmously.

Then it will be absolutely on par with the Broadway production I saw. Actually, no. If it just sucks enormously, it will probably still be better. And it won't cost fifty dollars, so you're already ahead of the game.

Lest I be misunderstood...Atilla is not what one would call good. But, for some quirky reason, I love it. The Scottish brogue, the tousled locks, the bare chest, the bare backed riding, the bare...oh, excuse me, I went mental there for a moment.

Powers Boothe is good. Some of the supporting characters (including a lovely and vicious Alice Krige and the briefest of Tim Curry's) are fun and the cheese is monumental. (Now with more historical content!)

And G-d help me, there is something about Tommy Flannagan that makes me go all squishidy every single time I see him. Must be the scars.

Then it will be absolutely on par with the Broadway production I saw.

You should have seen the Detroit production I saw with unbelievably awesome Christine. I was really quite something.
