Though I am curious to see how it's being reviewed in France...
'Serenity'
Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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 dunno. I must confess that when I say I want to make ratatouille what I really want to make is pisto manchego. That's spanish for ratatouille.
grape nuts: I caught some of Tomcats on TV last night and it finally dawned on me that she is a terrible actress. She sure is nice to look at, though. Is there anything she's good in?
I saw Ratatouille today. It was good! Some of my favorite bits were the French cliché run through the walls when Remy first gets to Paris and the skull!typewriter and coffin!room sporting Ego. I knew he wasn't a permanent villain, when they did him in such an over-the-top way.
Finally saw Hot Fuzz today. Best buddy cop movie in easily the last five years. (Also, when did Simon Pegg get hot? Or was he before and I didn't know about it?)
I've started watching a bit of 1776, and I can't get over the fact that Adams is played by a ridiculously young Principal Feeny (lately from Boy Meets World). Enjoyable so far, though...
No, Aille, you've got that wrong. Mr. Feeny is an old John Adams. You've got to get these things in the proper order.
It's kind of a thing in my family. I mean, I was named after one of the characters, historical figures, whatever...
Mr. Feeny is an old John Adams.
Well, ok, yeah. But still! I hearts me some Feeny from waaay back.
"Saltpeter! Pins!"
Dickinson makes me want to punch him in the head.
But he really was a formative leader in the original protests, even though he got cold feet when it came to declaring complete independence. And he did fight in the war, so he was a hero there, too.
And he totally breaks first. Even if he doesn't get his end done in anything like a timely way...
I have this desire to do a production that has Dickinson and the conservatives really likable and the revolutionaries be "obnoxious and disliked".
and the revolutionaries be "obnoxious and disliked".
I'm sorry, like John's not? Mind, I love John, but....
Just watched Dear Frankie. What a charming little movie.
