Yay! Thank you, Jess. And please tell E for me that it was a very good interview.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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 peeved. You've got me all wanting to see PL and none of the theatres in Madison are showing it yet. Ratsogarvy.

Oh, this part of the interview (about a future project) had me squeeing mightily:
In addition, del Toro has signed on as executive producer of the long-in-the-works directorial debut of fellow fanboy favorite Neil Gaiman. (The film will be based on Gaiman's popular Death: The High Cost of Living graphic novel.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
It was a very good interview. He sounds like someone I'd love to meet. And Anne, I agree.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ooh, Pan's Labyrinth is playing in Princeton! Maybe I'll see it tomorrow.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
We watched Idiocracy this afternoon, which was just great in parts, but overall not as funny as a Mike Judge joint ought to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hope he's able to release a director's cut at some point -- I'd love to see the movie Judge set out to make before the studio cut it to ribbons.

Since we don't have a LotR thread any more, I thought I should perhaps post this here: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Watched Children of Men tonight. I quite enjoyed it, more than the friend I went with did. Clive was marvellous, the actress playing Kee was too, and the rapport sparkled in an offhand way. I felt the hand of the director quite clearly, but it didn't bother me.
Jessica said upthread that it was violent, but not gory. I found it gory--starting with the shot of the woman outside the bombed cafe holding her detached left arm in her right hand. And we got to see victims of violence moaning and bleeding and reaching out through much of the last third or so.
