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.
My objection is to either of them being the main characters
I love Irma Vep. So much fun. And very not a good play to be adapted to a movie (it's a 2-actor show with each playing several characters through quick changes, which is a good bit of the fun). Assuming I'm not talking about a different one. I don't remember that line, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.
DebetEsse, that's the one. It's a campy show about vampires and werewolves and mummies that's also a sendup of Rebecca, with all the parts played by two (male) actors. So much fun. Kristin and I laughed like lunatics throughout the whole thing.
Ah, I'm conflating two different movies in my head.
How did I not know this was coming out?
How could a movie look this good?
Why is 2005 gonna be so exciting for me?
How could a movie look this good?
I know how it could look better -- a wee tweak of the cast list.
I didn't just see Alexis Bledel on that cast list, did I?
And wow, Mickey Rourke. Coolness.
I didn't just see Alexis Bledel on that cast list, did I?
Yep. Playing a prostitute, IIRC.

Particular one you've got in mind?

Bruce Willis and Brittany Murphy both make me itch.

If she's playing a female role, the odds are good she's a whore. Or soon dead. Or both.
Emmett and I saw the Lemony Snicket movie today. It was pure goth porn, and by porn I mean art direction. The end credits alone were one of the coolest things I've seen this year. JZ described them as a combination of Edward Gorey / Tim Burton / and the shadow puppet animation of the Prince Achmed movie.
I thought Carrey was fine, but he distorted the focus of the movie on Count Olaf instead of on the Baudelaires. JZ hated him and thought he did nothing but distracting schtick. We both agreed the sets, costuming and children's performances were stellar.
