Wow, that Batman Begins trailer looks really good.
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.
Wow. Batman.
For real.
This reminds me that I read a story over on Zap2it some story about Kevin Spacey being considered for Lex Luthor.
Which would be okay, except that I want Lex and Clark to be closer in age.
Perhaps I've been overly influenced by Smallville ?
Lex will be old enough to be everyone's father. I expect Perry White to be played by Matt Damon.
Wow. Batman.
For real.
The "Where are you?"/"Here" bit was like a panel straight out of the comics.

Reminded me of the first trailer for the first Batman (by Burton) movie where the key exchange was:
BadGuy: "Who are you?"
Batman: "I'm The Batman."
Crowd erupted in crazy cheers. I think the rubber suit innovation might've been a factor though.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is quite possibly the most amazingly beautiful movie I've ever seen. And possibly ever wish to see. I was utterly enchanted.
The Baudelaire children were magnificent, and the two young ones playing Sunny were the funniest thing I've ever seen. It's not right for babies to have that much comic timing. (Okay, some of their comedy came not from them, but from their subtitles, but their expressions were uncanny)
So Carrey didn't bug?
OK, I have to say, Liam Neeson's facial hair might be enough to keep me away from that.
So Carrey didn't bug?
He was fairly subdued (relatively speaking) and under quite a bit of makeup. Also, you're supposed to hate his character, so that helps a little. I think he was probably adding to the material quite a bit, and fans of the books might be bugged by him, though I haven't read them myself and can't swear by that.
But he did quite well in his role, and the children are really the centerpiece anyway.
RIO! HI RIO!
