Zoe ,'Serenity'
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.
Oh, I'm sure the writers'll pull an Achilles/Patroclus on us. But wasn't one of the angels kind of whiny and cowardly? I can't even remember what happened to the two of them in the end. Anyway, I guess I'm really just wondering how the film makers will deal with the domino effect of making God a Generic Authority.
Did the stage version retain the religious content?
Yes, it did. And the angels are kinda grumpy, then one dies futilely and the other sacrifices himself.

Sounds sort of like Dogma.
I suspect their gayness might not play well in Utah
I'm sure they're just good friends.

Hmmm, it says that Henri Ducard is an excellent detective and manhunter -- so where does the sword fighting on ice come into it?
(Were they just on ice, or were they on ice-skates?)

I hope just on ice, because didn't we get enough stupid fights on ice skates with whichever bad one had Der Governator in it?
Umm, I never saw that. . . but if it's Christian Bale and Liam Neeson -- isn't it bound to be better?
(It looks good in the promo.)
I think it's just the thought of Batman having Bat Skates at the ready that takes me to an Adam West/Joel Schumacher place and breaks my brain.
OK, I have to say, Liam Neeson's facial hair might be enough to keep me away from that.
I didn't realize that Neeson was in it, and the first thing I said was "Dr. Kinsey was one of Bruce's mentors?"
Chatty!co-worker: "Well, according to you, he *does* have sexual issues...."
Saw "A Very Long Engagement" Last night and I loved it. Audrey Tatou is lovely, and the swooniness of Jeunet's directorial style totally worked for me, as did the multi-layered story. It's incredibly beautiful--but not twee or pretty, which is what the trsiler made me afraid it was going to be.
