Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
So, August Rush is completely cheesy and eye-rolly and predictable, but it's also very sweet and sincere, and the music is great, and there are a couple unknown child actors who are very entertaining.
The best moment was calling one of the lines right before Keri Russell said it. I just picked the most dramatic, cliché, predictable thing to say...and there it was.
Also, Keri Russell is very pretty. And Jonathan Rhys-Meyers sings a lot, if you're into that.
August Rush
The only commercial I saw for that made my teeth hurt. Which is odd, because I thought saccharine didn't promote tooth decay.
Maybe it was a stunt booty.
I'm pretty sure you see it attached to her face (ummm... via her torso... not directly adjacent).
Was this the short attached to some prints of DARJEERLING LIMITED (that I can't recall the name of - HOTEL Something).
I would hope it wasn't MR. MARJORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIOUM.

Yep. It's actually referenced at least twice during DL.
I saw it, Tommyrot--and totally agree with your very astute observations. A really powerful film, I thought.

I knew that. It's just that Kendall didn't advertise they were going to have the short, so I saw it at Boston Common theater with a friend because it was a more convenient location (and comfier seating).
I'm tempted to change the names in a transcript of Gigli and send it in just to see how it would rank against the competition.
Except for the fear that it might actually get made again, that is.
OMG, those are some lousy premises.
