Lilah ,'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
Oh! I forgot: I saw the Serenity trailer FINALLY on the big screen! It gave me chills. People laughed at the appropriate moments and I heard a couple of people whisper to their movie-mates "That looks awesome." when the trailer ended.
Joss' work is so unlike anything else. 28 days.
I may have applauded a bit (very quietly, honest) after the trailer (my friend, who's seen some of the eps asked to borrow mine to catch up before the 30th), and my claps got what sounded like knowing laughter from people behind me.
I saw Knight's Tale tonight.
That was... interesting. Needed more nudity, I think. And maybe a little more Queen.
So... don't suppose there's a Chaucer slash archive out there, is there?
I saw Knight's Tale tonight.
That was (I thought) a really stupid movie. Didn't keep it from being a lot of fun, though (in my book).
Bettany's Chaucer was the best part.
That was Paul Bettany? Wow, I didn't even know I loved him before Master & Commander.

If someone had told me it was a sports comedy, I'd have watched it AGES ago.
So thrillingly predictable.

Yep. The Chaucer-in-a-pimp-coat was, in fact, Paul "Please Remain Naked" Bettany.
I sometimes have this theory that my marriage should allow me all the Pauls instead of just the one, which works well for Bettany and Gross, but falls apart at Reiser.
What about Ru?
I don't know Plei. Edie Brickell is a lot taller and has the reach on you... not sure I'd want to see you in a fight over the guy who sang "Kodachrome."
Oh, I fell in love with Pual Bettany in that movie! Just in love!
However, the movie REALLY irritated me. Not the anachronisms or anything, but the fact that something was so wrong with the love story that I thought, pretty much until the end of the movie, that Heath Ledger was going to end up with the nice armor making girl and not the dumb-ass lady.
I'm with Sophia -- it's not just that I was rooting for the blacksmith, it's that I really thought it was how the story would end, with him with the cool and sensible chick.
You'd think I'd never seen movies.
