Cordelia ,'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'm looking at the internets, reading about Pan's Labyrinth, and I'm working myself to new, unheard-of levels of excitement. Wow, I want it bad.
But it's going to fail miserably, isn't it? An R-rated fantasy fairy tale film, it doesn't have a chance in the US. Sad.

Bite your tongue! It's the bestest movie EVER and everyone will love it and it will make BILLIONS OF DOLLARS and stay in theatres forever.
And then Guillermo del Toro will buy me a pony. (Probably an evil pony from some kind of hell dimension, but I could live with that.)
You know, I didn't consider that the schmoop dragged because of Eva Green. I didn't mind her very much-- she seemed to be little different from the others, and far, far better than Dr. Christmas.
I was going to complain last night that the whole short-selling airline stock scheme was stupid in several ways, but realizes that this is the series that contained Moonraker.
One thing I liked about the film was that they subtly reinforced his novice status by having him make errors throughout.
Is it then? I didn't know that. Which speaks to how many Bond credits I haven't waited through. Still, gotta love the enthusiasm of the franchise. Way to be positive thinkers.
I have to agree with Green's lack of charisma. The chemistry, or lack there of, didn't work for me, but the pretty sure did.
Oh, oh! And ITA about Bond being a smarter fighter on all counts...even when he couldn't match the bad guy point for point. That was true in the opening scene and in the torture scene as well.
The torture scene is in very similar to one in the book, and you could tell those who had read it. As soon as BloodEye Dude started cutting the wicker chair, there was murmuring throughout the theater. Daniel Craig naked, tied to a chair and suffering
was disturbingly attractive.
Bite your tongue!
To be fair, I'm an absolutely terrible predicter of box office success, so don't worry about me cursing it or anything.
I want a pony too, though, if ponies are being gotted.
Disturbingly attractive because of, among other reasons, he's a smartass.
Bon, the friend I saw it with also used the Dr. Christmas defense. Talk about faint praise and damnation.
PJ isn't doing The Hobbit.
The studio dropped him ? Damn.
What's this LOTR "prequel" the article kept refering to?
