I just got back from seeing
Stardust.
I'm very glad I saw it before reading the reviews in this thread! I really enjoyed it a lot. I was never sure what was going to happen and I loved the look of it. I loved the gay pirate captain and his crew and the greek chorus of dead brothers and the way Evaine would glow when she was happy. I never read the book and won't, as far as I'm concerned it was great to see, and I'm glad I saw it in a theatre.
There were trailers for
The Golden Compass and Elizabeth, the Golden Age
and they both look good to me.
totally there with you, julie!
what makes it even more jelly-kneed was reading Cate Blanchett's comment on her reaction to seeing him in Gosford Park (linked here?). Oh yeah, she's a fangrrrl.
And I've never been so eager to see Sir Walter Raleigh.
I want to see that movie, if only for the costume porn. At least this time I won't have to deal with a SCAdian/history buff grumbling about it all weekend.(The guy I dated before G)
Hopefully this Iron Man trailer works better for you than for me. I've tried two OSes and nothing.
Yeeeeah, it was working fine, and then it just freezes right at the key moment.
It was very nice before that, though.
Workin' version: [link] (on my Mac, anyway)
I'm watching an interesting documentary about Aisan men in American movies called
Slanted Screen.
It's on PBS.
