I can't use YouTube either. No Flash for some reason. Even though I tried to install it.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.
Now you're just mocking me with your YouTube links.
Just the teaser alone is possibly one of the most gorgeous pieces of animation I've ever seen.
Holy motherfucking Jesus. I thought you were exaggerating. But wow. They...that's all animated? Really? They didn't film real stuff and seamlessly integrate it? It's like the Uncanny Valley of backgrounds.
I am warching Once Upon a Time in the West right now, AIFG. Evil Henry Fonda is filling me with glee.
I love the hell out of that movie.
SO good. I might hazard a suggestion that it is a better film than, dare I say it, The Wild Bunch.
Once Upon a Time in the West
I watched that recently, too! Claudia Cardinale is smoking Hot.
Isn't she? And her scene with Fonda is incredibly sexy, and since she was 30 and he was 63, I found that rather amazing. It's skeevy--but the skeeviness comes from the characters' situation and not from his age. And Bronsn and Robards are terrific. The film has lots of ridiculous plot contrivances (Rich, crippled railroad owner travels with NO SERVANTS?!?) but if you take it as melodrama, it's sublime.
Watched Love, Actually last night. Despite Alan Rickman and Colin Firth, I didn't love the movie. It wasn't bad, but it didn't fully work for me. I thought it tried a little hard.
One thing that really wasn't clear to me - what was the relationship between Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson?
