The sequel to Batman Begins could become an Australian affair
Well, maybe, but we should still have a pretty damned good showing for the British Isles, with Batman, Alfred and Jim Gordon. And possibly Paul Bettany.
waves Union Jack.
Just saw
King Kong
last night and I loved loved loved LOVED it. Lots. Physically jumped when I recognised Serkis (belatedly) as 'Lumpy'. Totally failed to recognise Jamie Bell. Still awash with oost for the most lickable Evan Parke, who held my attention in every frame he occupied, right from the get go. Mmm. I think he should be the next person to be discovered on
Lost,
preferably shirtless.
Loved
Transamerica
also - saw that the other week. Rather more 'eh' about
Memoirs of a Geisha,
but it was pretty.
Loved
Brokeback Mountain
more than I can say. It broke me into tiny pieces.
I had a similar giggle at recognizing Serkis!
I didn't even know Bell was in the movie!
Different thematically or plot...ily?
Both, kind of. There's no good way to explain it without spoilers...
they've taken Moore's vision of WWII facism and moved it up in time to the present day. This is George W Bush's facist England, which I think was an incredibly strong choice to make, but it does necesitate some major tweaks to the look and feel of the world, not all of which are wholly successful.
Saw V. Liked it a lot.
It took me SO LONG to realize you didn't mean the mini-series about aliens.
At lunch I was poring over the Walt Disney Co. annual stockholders' report. I see that the studio has The Shaggy Dog and Santa Clause 3 as upcoming releases.
The operating expenses section didn't itemize sufficiently to tell what we paid for Tim Allen's soul.
I just read V for Vendetta and was kind of underwhelmed by it. I liked the ideas but I thought the plot was a little scattershot. I kept thinking that it might actually work better as a movie.
Heretic!
Just kidding.
What did you think was scattershot about it? I thought it quite tight, so I'd appreciate the perspective.
As someone who was impressed with both the scope and attention to detail in both V and The Watchmen, I'm likewise interested in a contrary opinion. I can't drum up really good conversation about them, despite wanting to, because all my friends who've read them agree with me, which is no fun.
