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.
I personally can't stand Andrew O'Hehir's reviews.
I'm with you there. He seems to be a decent book reviewer (and I think Taylor mentions something along those lines in that interview), but he has no deep understanding of why some movies are good and others are not. His entire aesthetic seems to be as based around the knee-jerk assumption that indie movies are good and studio movies are bad.
Oops. This totally should have been in adifferent thread.
But, um, I saw, um, some movie? Recently? And it was... okay?
I'm too drunk to think right now.
2046 was a room number before it was a year.I believe it's also the year China's current policy toward Hong Kong expires. And WKW is a HK filmmaker, which might (and I'm not quite sure how to put it) make the year more than doubly resonant.
Thank you, Kathy, that was the perfect link!
Charles Taylor and Stephanie Zacharek are married? Huh.
Indeed....
Eeee!
Ricky Jay is currently consulting and acting in a new feature film, Chris Nolan’s The Prestige. The film stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as magicians who become embroiled in a deadly rivalry.

And not just magicians, either. Turn of the 19th/20th century magicians. Period stuff. I'm very excited. Plus it's directed by Chris "how did I get so lucky" Nolan.

Mrowr.
I ADORE Ricky Jay.

Yet not called Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell...
I ADORE Ricky Jay.
I wish he'd stuck with Deadwood, 'cause his character was a fantastic slice of conscience at the Bella Union, and Jay played Sawyer perfectly. Also, I longed to see him decapitate a man with a playing card.
