Buffy ,'Lessons'
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.
I'd like it to be Adrian Lester or Paul Bettany
There's something strange in my head saying "No! Bettany can't be Bond! He needs dark hair!"
But I shan't listen to it. Besides, I have Bettany research to do before I can opine on his non-romantic side.
Life is rough.
Basically you want Alexis D.
I just went to a very happy place.
Any more on the rumors that they're considering Colin Salmon?

Gangster number 1. The coldest and hardest british crime flick of the '90s. I guarantee that, after that, you won't doubt Bettany's toughness.
Oh, and in case anyone - especially ita - missed it, here's the most frightening image from the Oscars:
the razor is your friend, Vin.
Heh. I just read back to see that Robin has already mentioned Gangster no 1. It's a good twofer with Vera Drake, as Bettany horribly slaughters at least 2 members of the VD cast.
I guarantee that, after that, you won't doubt Bettany's toughness.
It's on my Netflix queue. I can't wait.
As for Vin -- it'll be interesting to see him playing something biographical, with no action.

Huh. In that picture, he sort of reminded me of Jerry Orbach. Can't say why, though.
NYT Movies page has a little side feature showing a slide show of various actors who were featured in films this year--the pictures are black and white and some of them are really beautifully shot. I particularly liked the photos of Kate Winslet, Clive Owen and the Joan Cusack.
If that's the same spread that was in the magazine last weekend my favorite is Javier Bardem.
