'Touched'
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.
Wow, really? I trust Nolan with themes and concepts.
Yeah, I completely agree. I think all his movies are very thematically strong. But I also think they're very strong in plot as well. Although, okay, maybe the Batman movies are a little more focused on theme than plot, as you note.
I'm looking for Angie Dickinson.
Any of the LAistas have any idea where I might find that info?
Not an LAista, but IMDb has a category for Contact Info. Unfortunately, you need to have IMDbPro to access, and I don't.
Did we know Rose McGowan was starring in a Red Sonja remake directed by Robert Rodriguez?
edit: click through to the end for more pictures that make the Watchmen movie look like it's going to be spot-on.
Like any right-minded cheapskate, whenever there is a weekend preview for one of the movie channels, we TiVo all the movies for later viewing. This led to a HUGE MISTAKE. We watched "The Black Dahlia" last night and it was OMG so bad. Josh Hartnett seesm like he should be a movie star, with the heroic looks and the perfect body, but he is just so not interesting to watch. Scarlett J. seemed to be floundering--although she has the right body for '40s underwear. And let us not speak of Hilary Swank as an overly-arch Femme Fatale. shudders at the recollection
The DH pointed out that is was one of those films where every single choice was the most obvious one. Like, if you go to a rich person's house, classical music will be playing. And not just any classical music, "Pachelbel's Canon."
My brain is fried and I have a dropdeadline in 1/2 hour. Can anyone think of a recent (2004-) American remake of a French film?
edit: wait, no.
does 2009 count?
I can think of several, but none recent.
the '90s are thick with them. The most recent one I can think of so far is Just Visiting (Les Visiteurs) but that's 2001. German doesn't count, huh? (Mostly Martha) I'll keep thinking.
I just have a list of remakes in this book (pubbing 1/2009) that ends with Taxi (2004) and I was looking for a new one to add. I know there was talk of The Strangers being a remake but I can't get confirmation on that.
