The trailer for Elizabeth - the Golden Age suggests this will be a Lord of the Rings sequel.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Heh. It looks even more laughably ridonk than the previous one.

I think I'm on board with the ridonk and the ahistoricity because of the pomp and pageantry and hairdos and Cate spouting faux Shakespeare and Clive all roguish. And, of course, Elizabeth the First facing down the Balrog Spanish Armada.

Because books.
I loved the first one. Ahistorical and All Wrong, even. It was ... so pretty. And this one looks even prettier. Plus, what Hec said about Clive being roguish.
I just watched the Sweeney Todd trailer. I'm sort of astounded to realize I never saw the musical, even.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Stuff saw this weekend:
Lust, Caution. - really really good.
Into the Wild - really really good (but with less sex).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved the first one too. There was lots of neat framing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
They're going to drag me into this one, too. Just like the last time. And I'll spend half the movie searching the sticky floor of a darkened theatre for my eyeballs that have rolled out of my head. Bastards.
I should really just re-watch the HBO series with Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, Mirren would be hard to top.

I read the EW article. It's interesting as a record of the whole saga, but a single anonymous source reporting a softening of relations is a disappointing bit to hang a whole cover story on.
