Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Just watched the newest Island trailer, and, wow, it really is Logans Run II: Bigger, Better, and More 2005. And Ewan's accent seems almost painfully bad in it, shamefully.
Both stars are pretty durned hot, though.
I'll see it if and only if the reviews convince me.
I have a Return of the Sith question: Wouldn't you think that George Lucas has enough money to have gotten James Earl Jones for that five words or so? I mean, really.
Actually, he did, Jones just wasn't listed in the end credits.
Summer movies I wanna see:
Corwood, In a Lonely Place is very good and is also Richard B. from Versus fave movie of all time.
Movies I've watched so far this weekend:
ETA: Director of Layer Cake is directing X-Men 3.
Weekend movies so far:
Bridge on the River Kwai
That's it for now. I'd never seen the movie before, so the way the ending played out was a complete surprise. I don't think that a modern Hollywood studio would have let things play out like they did back then.

Huh. I didn't think it sounded like him.
The Barbra Streisand-Kris Kristofferson version of A Star Is Born. She can sing. He tries to sing material that doesn't really suit his voice. They establish sexual magnetism better than love.
Other than that, it's two-plus hours of Barbra vs. Kris fighting over who can sport the lowest neckline. Kris wins, because the MPAA lets him go shirtless more often without prohibitive rating problems.
Mysterious Skin: Araki is hit or miss but this one sounds good. Also, Michelle Trachtenberg!
And Joseph Gordon Levitt!

Which is really a shame. Bridge on the River Kwai has one of my all-time favorite endings.

It really was good. I have yet to put my finger on why I found the ending so satisfying, but I did.
Huh. I didn't think it sounded like him.
That's because he was still whining like Anakin instead of being cool and collected like the Vader we know.

I'm sure part of the satisfaction is from just how UN-Hollywood it is.
