Wash ,'Serenity'
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.
Must-see stuff if you like slapstick comedy. Jack Lemmon was clearly having a grand old time as both the villain and the prince. Tony Curtis was clearly having an equally grand time as the hero. Ditto Natalie Wood as the suffragette girl.
What, no love for Peter Falk?
Push the button Max!
Yes, Falk. The Brooklyn accent you could cut with a knife....
Falk didn't come across as enjoying himself quite as much. Probably because he was trying to become as big a star as the other three.
Hot Fuzz may cross the line from clever to brilliant. I'm sure I missed a number of the references, but I did love it. Plus, hedgehog!
It was probably a mistake for me to see Stardust in the same day I read the book. I really didn't like it. I really wanted to like it, but too much was changed for my taste.
We watched Hot Fuzz and The Host this past weekend, and both were made of awesome!
The music in Hot Fuzz was noticeably awesome also (I loved Goody Two-Shoes over the opening scene). They clearly knew it, since the music coordinator was credited as Nick Angel.
The music was credited to Nick Angel because it's his name.
Is the character name an homage, then? Or just a strange coincidence?
So was the main character named after him?
