Generally speaking, even if I liked Natalie Portman, I would find it icky and creepy to like her that way when she is pre-pubertal.
It is a thing.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore The Professional and Nikita, and was pleasantly surprised by and caught up in Banlieue 13.
I will love him forever for the first two, even if I don't love all his later work. And then...dude the reason I saw War was because of the Statham love generated by The Transporter.
Which, I guess, makes me mad. Pfft.

I share the Staitham love and was so looking forward to War. Pfft, indeed.

No love for León / The Professional ?
I haven't seen it. I keep meaning to. Really.

ita, I think you've summoned Peter Greenaway:
Also he has a new movie about Rembrandt starring Martin Freeman as Rembrandt.

In looking up info on Jean-Pierre Jeunet in IMDB, I've learned that he declined an offer to direct the last Harry Potter (OotP), which I would have loved to have seen, and he's in pre-production on Life of Pi, which worries me just a tad.

whoa. okay.
I loved Greenaway when I was a film student (of course) but I haven't rewatched anything in years.

I noticed he's in the de-rigeur "You stuck the big man with the cute kid???" movie coming out soon, as well as having a role in the new Get Smart opposite Steve Carell. Only one of those projects looks like it has any promise.

I don't know that Vin Diesel and Hulk Hogan are the best models to pattern one's movie career after.
