Buffy ,'Lessons'
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 gave up on him when he started casting actors that trigger my "ick, something disgusting just crawled out from under a rock" response: Mel Gibson, Joachin Phoenix, Michael Pitt, and now Paul Giamatti.
Oh Matt. You don't like Paul? He's one of my favorite actors, precisely because he looks like such a schlub. I love that face! Such pathos.
Makes me wonder if he had an unrequited crush on somebody named "Fran" at some point
Pinky would've been funnier.
Paul Giammatti is the spitting image of my best friends brother seen here, [link] the third person down.
Or perhaps he is the spitting image of Paul.
Also, narf?
Zort!
Poit!
Wow. I root for him to do something good, because, as the review says
Even The Village is one of the most elegantly crafted stupid movies you'll ever see.
He does such pretty, pretty things! I just wish he would let someone else write the scripts.

The big story right now is that Disney just suggesting changes (or at least indicating that changes were needed) is what caused him to move over to Warners (I think).
The cinematographer for this one is Chrisopher Doyle, who's done a ton of amzing work for Wong-Kar Wai (sp?). I think he did HERO as well. It damn well ought to be pretty.
I loved all the framing in Unbreakable. It was so deliberately unconventional, which I sometimes find annoying, but I dug it.

Shyamalan Book Tells of Breakup With Disney
At a disastrous dinner in Philadelphia last year, Jacobson delivered a frank critique of the "Lady in the Water" script. When she told him that she and her boss, studio Chairman Dick Cook, didn't "get" the idea, Shyamalan was heartbroken. Things got only worse when she lambasted his inclusion of a mauling of a film critic in the story line and told Shyamalan his decision to cast himself as a visionary writer out to change the world bordered on self-serving.
It sounds like Shyamalan quit because Disney was telling him the truth.
From quick review skimming it seems that the film critic in the movie shares a name with a real one. Kuh-razy.
