'Selfless'
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.
Has anyone seen the Burger King commercial where Darth Vader and the guy in the creepy Burger King mask face off? They just stand there breathing at each other. Hi-larious.
That's the only one of the Creepy Burger King Mask Guy commercials that I like. It cracks my shit up.
I don't know. Ewan and Samuel Jackson and Liam Neeson are all excellent actors and Lucas makes each of them look worse than Mischa Barton. Natalie could've been more of a team player on the junket, but I haven't heard her slagging stuff so much as giddy to be done with it.
I think she did try, she's just not an experienced enough actress to give a good performance without more direction than Lucas gives. Same with HC, who gave a good performance in Shattered Glass, so I know he CAN act. I also think for some freaky reason Lucas WANTS that flat style--Smits can be an explosive, charismatic actor and I know he was thrilled to be in the film, yet he plays the whole thing like a zombie.
Also, back during the first movies Lucas was still listening to the actors, so if Ford or Carrie Fisher said "This line rings false. How about if I say...?" He would let them.
I like the BK commercial where a Joe Schmo is about to partake of a Whopper in his apartment when he's interrupted by a knock on the door. When he opens it, there's Darth Vadar, saying, "Joe, I AM your father!" His reply is something, "No, you're not, and you can't have my Whopper." DV then comes back with "Joe, I AM your uncle!" at which point Joe shuts the door in DV's face. I giggled at that one.
She cashed the check...that's the time to lie back and think of Alderaan, imo.
Well, she signed the contract before she cashed the check; probably for all three back with Phantom Menace. Not that it excuses not trying, but she may have had very few options that wouldn't involve self-mutilation if George wasn't inclined to let her out of it.
I thought Smits was hot. t /shallow
Oh, wait, that tag doesn't close.
Hot, yes. Interesting performance, no.
Also, back during the first movies Lucas was still listening to the actors, so if Ford or Carrie Fisher said "This line rings false. How about if I say...?" He would let them.
Ford fampously improv-ed the riposte "I know" to Leia's declaration of love.
A bit more of that irreverence would've helped in the Anakin/Padme romance.
"You're beautiful because I love you. No wait, actually I love you because you're hot. I got that part backwards."
So wishing I could've seen a more usual SLJ..."When you wanna lightsaber every motherfucker in the room...you really shouldn't. This force thing is all spiritual and shit."
if Ford or Carrie Fisher said "This line rings false. How about if I say...?" He would let them.
Ford did improvise the classic reply to Leia's "I love you." Originally, it was the standard "I love you, too," but Harrison knew that wasn't a Han line, so Lucas and Kirshner let him substitute "I know."
ETA--should have known that would be a x-post!
