Oz ,'Him'
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.
t happy in her dreamland of "Little Ani was cute as a button" and "Jar-Jar didn't bother me all that much"
Time Magazine has Darth Vader on the cover. After Ann Coulter, it seems almost wholesome. And the fanboy squeeing in the article was wonderful. "We've Seen It!" is the taunting headline on the cover. I think it's neat.
I really enjoyed the Premiere article on Star Wars, although Lucas continues to creep me out with his Newspeak-vibe. And yeah, I'm excited about Episode III, as much as my cynical heart would like not to be.
The latest spin from the Ranch is that Anakin was SUPPOSED to be petulantly annoying. Given what I've heard about HC in other movies (from Jessica, among others), I'm almost willing to believe it was deliberate. Almost.
I don't believe it was deliberate, but I do believe it was Lucas' fault and not Hayden's.
And he is better in this one. Not 100%, but he's better. There's less whining.
My heart bleeds for the chick:
Sexy actress Eva Green has slammed director Ridley Scott for removing most of the raunchy sex scene she had with screen hunk Orlando Bloom from new movie Kingdom of Heaven. Green enjoyed playing Bloom's lover Princess Sybilla in the film, but was devastated to discover Scott had deleted "the best bits" because he deemed them too shocking. She says, "It is a pity because we spent so long getting it just right."
"It is a pity because we spent so long getting it just right."
Oh, that poor poor girl, to have spent all that time making out with Orlando Bloom for nothing.
She sacrifices for her art, and look what happens!
So that she won't have to suffer any more, I will nobly volunteer to take her place at any future Orlando Bloom makeout sessions. I am just that selfless.
I don't have any art perse, but I'd gladly sacrifice my shoes and handbags.
So I'm 20 minutes into Phantom of the Opera. My first thought, if I were making a movie out of a famous musical, would have been to find people that could actually sing, since they're not only in a *musical*, but half of them are playing opera stars or Angels of Music.
This must be why they don't pay me the big bucks.
Yup.
Or, in the good old-fashioned Holllywood way, DUB WITH STUNT SINGERS. Really. All of us thank you.
