I seriously do adore that movie. But here's the interesting thing about Vin on Letterman -- he's talking about his age like crazy -- that he was 30 years old before he did anything in Hollywood. I wonder if it's part of trying to be taken more seriously or something?
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

He might be trying to make a point about the perceived ageism in Hollywood. If he is, that gives me hope, because I frequently feel I'm waaaay to old to be trying to get a start in this business.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Has it been mentioned that Baz Lurhmann's version of Alexander the Great is back on the drawing boards? It was shelved b/c of Stone's version but since that sucked so mightily, they've decided to revive Baz's attempt.
re Ultraviolet; there was an aborted attempt to remake it in the US. A pilot was shot but never screened. Elba was brought over to reprise his character from the cancelled UK version.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm putting it here instead of in Jossverse, because the site pitches it as "more than you ever needed to know about the real Constantine -- before Keanu messes it up for you."

I just watched a movie called "Dear Frankie." It was good, and I liked it, though I had a few issues with some things. One thing I had no issue with was Gerard Butler. I just wanted to hug him and not let go.

A great interview with Don Cheadle: [link]
On The Magical Black Person:
"Although, there is a tendency with black characters in movies that they're either like the noble savage where they are everything and they can't make a mistake and they usually don't have a family or a love interest and they're perfect in every way and solve all the problems. They're the soul of the movie, they're the heart of the film.
"That shit kills me. 'Oh, he's the heart of the film!' Like, I don't want to do it. I don't need to be the heart of the film. I want to be the balls of the film."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Just finally saw Hotel Rwanda last night and he really was very good. Also I would think "hey, look at the hottie!" and then I would remember I was watching a movie about genocide and perhaps I should not be thinking about whether or not the main character was attractive.
