Just watched
Sunshine.
I was a bit impatient with it, and spent way too long waiting for
someone to be incredibly craven in
the face of death, and
was not disappointed.
I liked Michelle Yeoh exactly as much as expected. I liked Rose Byrne a fair amount--I just finished watching the first ep of Damages this morning, so that was interesting juxtaposition. Cillian Murphy was Cillian Murphy, otherworldy and
just
shy of fey (he should have a fey-off with Jonathan Rhys Meyers--there can be eyeliner, if they need). I was surprised at how much I liked Chris Evans. His character was written pretty much
the perfect crew member, save rubbing the blood on Capa--they'd have been fine (although a useless trip) if Trey hadn't fucked up.
I think, anyway. I might have missed a calculation here or there. But he did a good job not doing any of the stuff I liked him doing in the Fantastic Four.
I could become a fan.
And I would certainly have his babies, although I wouldn't raise them or anything.

Oh, it should be written into the rules of the contest.
and I liked Branagh's Hamlet.
I loved his Henry V and hated his Hamlet. One of the three movies I have walked out of. (The other two are The Muppet Movie and this very long British movie called The Fool.)
I saw his theatre company do Lear in Toroto in 1990? 1991? The production was just okay. Branagh played Edgar and was terrible. Emma Thompson played The Fool as a misshapen, almost Igor like character and just completely blew me away. Definitely in the top three stage performances I've ever seen.
I knew the Branagh/Thompson marriage was in jeopardy by the end of that play because I realized that A) She was waaaaaay more talented than she was, and B) he would not be able to deal with that.
Only movie I ever walked out of was the last Star Wars. My partner kept snoring. We made it about 40 minutes. I even sat through Blade:Trinity. Admittedly, that was because I was watching Ryan Reynolds.
I have a sneaking suspicion Heath may be easier to work with than Crispin. Seeing as he'll just be faking the crazy. You know--acting.

the only way I'll ever see the third Star Wars is if I'm drunk and I stole the DVD. And if someone will sit in front of me with silhouettes of alien robots and talk smack.
And I have much faith in Heath playing the Joker, and go! Maggie Gyllenhaal for taking away one reason to fast-forward through Batman. Could they CGI her into Batman Begins?
The making of a hero: Iron Man teaser recorded at Comic Con. Get it while it's still up...
You walked out of The Muppet Movie?
