I just read over at Oscarwatch that Friday's Daily Mail reported a rumor of a movie version of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, directed by Sam Mendes, possibly starring Russell Crowe as Sweeney and maybe Imelda Stauton as Mrs. Lovett! I'd definitely see this.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The same gasp-and-hush occurred very late in the film during a brief scene of Vin in a snug short-sleeved shirt snuzzling a giggling toddler.
He apparently spent a lot of the time on the set playing with the kidlets and has now been gushing about wanting kids of his own.
Hmm. I may have to see this movie...

In an article in a recent Sunday paper, Vin's referrred to as the Baby Whisperer, because he was often the only one who could get the babies to stop crying. He was also working on that Lumet picture, and he would find himself rocking back and forth, as if he were holding a kid.
The man's biological clock just went off, I think.

I cannot begin to explain how adorable I find this to be.
I blame hormones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I blame hormones.
At least you have an excuse.
Wait, I can blame it on hormones too -- probably just not the same ones.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Bad Education and oh my god am I in LOVE with Gael "Gorgeous in a Dress" Garcia Bernal. Even more than I was from his earlier work, which I did not think possible.
Almodovar is freaking God.

First, ROCK! I've wanted a movie of this for ages. In principle, I wouldn't mind Russell Crowe as Sweeney, either. But can he sing? I mean, REALLY sing? That's a pretty intense part, vocally.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I in LOVE with Gael "Gorgeous in a Dress" Garcia Bernal.
He's SO FREAKING HOT in that movie. It's almost unfair.

If I was that pretty, I'd have a boyfriend. Possibly Gael Garcia Bernal.
Bad Education was one of my favourite films last year. I love how subversively noir it is.
