It really is. I love Point Blank too.
This just got a shiny new DVD, with a commentary track by Boorman talking to Stephen Soderbergh.

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.

Also, when my friend worked backstage at a celebrity fashion show for Newman's charity, Damon not only had absolutely no temperament, butwhen he heard as he was leaving that they were selling all the clothes worn that day on ebay, asked "would this help?" and peeled off his own cashmere sweater and donated it. He went home in a t-shirt on a crisp November day.
Okay, Matt Damon rules. Thanks for that story.
I have seen arguments both ways, and have no interest in watching the movie and honing an opinion. Anyway, between costuming and CGI, the technology exists, even if the desire doesn't.
The LL rumors hit my bullshit-o-meter hard (as does pretty much any rumor that seems to magically "confirm" something in the zeitgeist, i.e., "LL's boobs are so big they frighten mothers and small children; millions of dollars spent to save family movie from them!" OR "Colin Farrell's penis is so big, millions of dollars are spent to save movie from it!") , but what I really want to know is whether that kind of digital manipulation is possible where it a. looks realistic and b. is not extravagantly expensive to do. I mean, even adding Oliver Reed's face to Gladiator supposedly cost $3 million, and that was fake looking and in a couple scenes! No boobular containment issue is worth jeopardizing the profit margins of a movie by digitally changing every frame.
Agreed. The other thing is the "sexual characteristic of actor had to be reduced" story seems to be increasingly frequent. Ioan Gruffud's package scaring people in Fantasic Four? Huh. It's some sort of weird marketing thing.
I've never seen (or even heard of) Point Blank. Sounds like I need tor remedy that.
Super stylized late existential revenge Noir. Late sixties in SF and LA. Lee Marvin hunts his way up the chain of revenge.
Have you seen the Domino trailer?
No -- is it online somewhere?
Domino trailers -- talk about no personality.
C'mon now -- LL's breasts were scaring animals and small children. Don't know about the package stuff though -- that's more rarely on public record (whee! I remembered the l).
Purely to end the confusion (NSFW, obviously): [link] So there, but small. Who knew that she, not Thora Birch, would be the one who'd become a star from the Hole?
I don't think anyone's confused about how big they are(n't). Just about how big they can look.

Exactly! Elizabeth Bennet is supposed to give off a "Well, at least she's smart..." vibe (until you get to know her and realize that you could get lost in her stunning eyes blah blah lovecakes). Kiera? NSM.
