Basically you want Alexis D.
I just went to a very happy place.
Any more on the rumors that they're considering Colin Salmon?
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Besides, I have Bettany research to do before I can opine on his non-romantic side.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
the razor is your friend, Vin.
Huh. In that picture, he sort of reminded me of Jerry Orbach. Can't say why, though.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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 I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If that's the same spread that was in the magazine last weekend my favorite is Javier Bardem.

I say Paul Bettany can do whatever he wants. And that includes silly popcorn movies with Kirsten Dunst in which he lounges against a doorframe wearing only a pair of low-slung sweatpants.
The new Hitchhiker's trailer is fabulous, not least because it finally clicked that Martin Freeman is in it! I kept hearing all the noise about Mos Def, but Tim from The Office is in it!
