Didn't he do another movie, Bitter something - kind in the Sirens timeframe?

BITTER MOON which is quite a bizarre piece of work (Polanski at his most minsanthropic) with Peter Coyote, Kirsten Scott Thomas and Emmaneul Sangier (sp?).
He was also in LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM.
They both might be described as comedies of sorts, but romantic ones? NSM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He also did a medical drama with Gene Hackman as the baddie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Frank beat me to both Bitter Moon (which I love a lot, but could probably not watch now--it suited my mood at the time) and Lair of the White Worm.

I liked Hugh in About A Boy quite a lot. The whole movie was enjoyable.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
The little boy from About A Boy, Nicholas Hoult, has grown up into quite a handsome young man and is the lead character in a series called Skins about teenagers that take drug while having casual sex with vodka bottles. It's discombobulating.

Always Anti-fascist!
Loved that movie, even if it fucking ruined "Killing me Softly" Toni Collette's character reminds me of my mom's best friend when I was growing up.

I've been meaning to rewatch ever since THE INSIDE came (and went - sniff ). Peter Coyote is pretty good at bringing the creeeeeeeepy, yet magnetic.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I haven't watched "Bitter Moon" in ages, but it left an impression. I can't recall any other film that was so virulently anti-romance. Coyote was brilliant in it, and Emmanuelle whazherface, Polanski's young wife, was perfectly cast, for all her vapidity.
I suppose most LJ people probably have seen this already, but Daniel Radcliffe's nude publicity photos for "Equus" hit the press couple of days ago. [link]
(It's obviously not work-safe, although the camera doesn't quite pan down to the naughty bits)
I must be getting middle-aged, because on the first look, I felt like shouting "My eyes! My eyes!" and throwing a blanket and a bottle of tanning lotion at his head.
