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.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
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.
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.

in LOVE with Gael "Gorgeous in a Dress" Garcia Bernal.
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.

The man's biological clock just went off, I think.
Such a pity he'll have so much difficulty finding any women that would want to have kids with him. Some guys just have no luck at all...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Vin's referrred to as the Baby Whisperer, because he was often the only one who could get the babies to stop crying.
It's very likely the voice. (The voice! yum) Sometimes the low, rumbly deep-chested bass voice just knocks the little ones out. Lion's purr, or some such. Feeling very protected and safe.

But can he sing? I mean, REALLY sing? That's a pretty intense part, vocally.
Yeah, such was my blink. Mostly. I suspect we'd end up with more of a growling Sweeney than a singing one.
And man, what's her face from Phantom would almost inevitably be cast as Joanna, wouldn't she.

I know that voice is part of the reason I'm such a Vin fan.

Well, he does front his own rock band. Though I imagine the vocal requirements for 50 Odd Foot of Grunts, or whatever the band's name is, is significantly less than those for the role of Sweeney Todd.

Having seen the Bacon Brothers in concert (shut up, they were opening for the Nields), I can say with authority that being a movie star with a rock band has very little to do with singing ability.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Yeah... I've seen some decent crossovers from the other direction (Bowie leaping immediately to mind), but Christian Kane is the only actor I've seen who might actually have had a career as a musician without benefit of the notoriety from acting. And his band hasn't hit it big even so.
