Tony Leung OMFG. How is he so hot? And so sad? His sadness is integral to his hotness. I'm trying to remember any film of his in which he wasn't heartbroken in some way, and coming up blank.
The Eagle Shooting Heroes. (Actually, this has both Big Tony and Little Tony Leung.) Rent it, go out drinking with friends, then invite them to see it with you. It's quite funny if you're in the right frame of mind, and has a rumored WKW connection . It was very popular, when our local rep theatre was still a rep theatre.
I hasten to add that no eagles get shot in
Eagle Shooting Heroes.
It seems to be one of those phrases that the translators just gave up on.
I would have expected heroes to be shot by an eagle.
So wait, it's not about golf?
No, but strangely enough, it was the original title of
The Legend of Bagger Vance.
Maybe this will help make that feeling go away, Frank?
Well it was frelling hilarious, I'll say that (though sadly either it doesn't like Macs, mine's too old, or I've never configured this thing right to get decent vids and such, cause it was wicked skippy even after I let it get the whole way through once). Not lacking in any testosterone, but the funk is of a completely different type.
It may just be a RAM shortage, as it played smoothly on my work Mac but is likewise skippy here on the laptop.
I had to stop and have a laughing fit midway through my first viewing when the spinning decapitated head popped up in the center panel.
I just saw Harry Potter 5 in IMAX this afternoon. It's the first time I've seen a theatrical film (not made for IMAX) in that format, and it was better than I thought it'd be. I'd heard stories about other films, such as the LotR movies, shown on the bigger screen and being fuzzy in the corners, etc., but this movie had no such problems. The 3D part at the end (starting with the kids on thestrals, heading for the Ministry, through to Harry packing for the summer) was quite cool, especially the chase through the Hall of Prophecy and the Dumbledore vs. Voldemort fight at the end (all those glass fragments look deadly when they're flying through the air).
I came home from my trip and Dennis had set aside a movie from his queue for me to watch,
George and the Dragon.
He said, "it's got James Purefoy, Michael Clarke Duncan, Patrick Swayze and Val Kilmer."
I thought, a cast like that and I never heard of it, "does it suck?"
He shook his head, laughing, "oh man it sucks so bad."
Still James Purefoy, swoony swoony and dragons, eh? How bad can it be?
Oh lordy. It Is Bad. I think they've got a Patrick Swayze bot. And for some reason James Purefoy isn't hot anymore. I wish he'd wash his face. But I can't turn it off.
