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 (Now with more historical content!)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.
Hey, thanks for reminding me of Where the Heart Is.
I heart the 1990 film of the same name with Dabney Coleman, Uma Thurman, Suzi Amis and Crispin Glover. Talk about quirk. With trompe l'oil paintings and found object fashion designing. And thank you Netflix. I haven't seen it in years but it's at the top-o-my queue now.
Ahem, my queue will never reach the strength of ita's, but it has pluck.
Speaking of same.
Given that I loved the first season of 24 until Lou Diamond Phillips
bit it
, and I liked the second season very much all except for the
sacrificial death
I saw coming a mile away, and the
Blast From the Past
homage, is the 3rd season worth renting?
By edgy and SJP do you mean her movie work?
Yeah, I was thinking of the Mamet thingie and L.A. Story and Ed Wood. None of those were all that edgy, really, but they also weren't Action Babe #57 roles.
Also, I see SaTC as somewhat edgy, for a sitcom.
(And I loved the first two books of HDM, but the God/Church stuff got pretty tedious for me in the last one, so for that selfish reason I don't care that New Line is making then take it out. But I don't like allegory, generally.)
Thank you, Lilty.
Re: ELF-- is it possible to adopt the baby Will Ferrell actor? And keep him as a baby forever? Because he was too cute for words. And I don't particularly want him to grow up into Will Ferrell, since one is enough for me.
Huh. I just saw the ad for Phantom of the Opera again, and the love theme isn't even used in the ad. So my recall of it this morning seems even mroe remarkable to me.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has been confirmed for a release date exactly one year from today. The voice of Aslan will be Brian Cox. Rock.
