I saw Breach on the plane back. It was all right. I mean, it was good and solid and did its job as a spy-thriller-type thing, though it's not very action-packed. Doesn't mean it doesn't have its tense moments, however. Plus: Caroline Dhavernas!

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.

Plus: Caroline Dhavernas!
Yep, I knew she was in it. We also wanted to watch for Chris Cooper, who we're both big fans of, and with whom S has worked several times.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
naked, tied up Daniel Craig is pretty damned hot.
Does he get tortured with a carpet beater like in the book?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure what they used, Laga, but the torture scene was similar to what was written.
Iron Man promo still and movie articlet. I wonder if he'll be an alcholic.
eta: Suit pic and the answer to my wonderment.

She's so unlike Jaye in it I had to convince myself it really was her. It's weird because she doesn't look all that different, which is why I had the "Wait, is that Caroline Dhavernas?" moment. But she acts and sounds completely different.
We also wanted to watch for Chris Cooper
And Laura Linney!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Sicko: surprisingly excellent.

Surprisingly? Although I really enjoy the stuff Michael Moore does, so maybe you shouldn't go by me...I also rented "The Awful Truth"(his for-cable TV show)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Re. Iron Man: So Robert Downey Jr. has been cast as a playboy who develops a substance abuse problem. This amuses me.

I want to know why he's bulking up for the part. Tony Stark is the former lush cardiac patient superhero who wears a big metal suit, it's not as if he needs to be in good shape.

move out and draw fire
I too saw PotC3 this weekend, and now I have to go back and read whitefont, because for the life of me I could not figure out the bad guy's motivation. Or other characters' motivations at certain points.
It was pretty, but I guess I was really looking for meaning where there wasn't any, because I kept thinking everything was a reference to other movies - Return of the Jedi, The Godfather, Highlander.
Orlando Bloom's costuming was HAWT. And I found it funny that Elizabeth's black-and-gold costume featured a serious corset, which should have been called out given the ongoing corset jokes in the first movie.
I didn't feel quite as Bruckheimered as with PtoC2, but I do still feel like I got brucked. Ich war gebruckt.
Trailers: Transformers CGI looks fucking awesome.
