Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
We saw Inception today. Yeah, my brain still joyfully boggles.
I was watching Tom Hardy for five whole minutes, niggled by where the hell had I seen him before, until it dawned on me that he was the lead in Bronson. That's a testament to the man's ability to act because those two characters couldn't be further apart.
Bronson is on Netflix streaming. I hadn't really glanced at it, but now that you say that I'll have to watch it.
Holy Shit, I didn't even recognize Tom Berringer. He's aged a LOT, hasn't he.
Some time back, TCM showed His Kind of Woman, a Robert Mitchum-Jane Russell noir set in a resort on the Baja California coast. I Tivo'd it at the time and finally got to see it over the weekend.
I'm not sure if it's great film noir or just a magnificent mess. Or both. But I recommend. Largely because, over the last 30-45 minutes, Vincent Price steals the movie as an Errol Flynn-type actor who finally gets to do in real life what he's always done on-screen. And Russell was never more beautiful, even if she really isn't relevant to the plot. (And it doesn't hurt that Mitchum spends about 1/4 of the picture shirtless.)
Yeah, I've been a JGL fan since he was a wee thing. I'm so glad to see him turn into such an amazing talent as an adult.
Word. NSM in 3rd Rock, but definitely since 10 Things. Ah, that was such a great movie. Need to rewatch.
Gah, seriously, I have half an hour of voice memos of myself babbling about Inception. I hope to turn it into a massive blog post at some point, we'll see. Next weekend - Inception in IMAX. Aw yeah.
Bronson is on Netflix streaming. I hadn't really glanced at it, but now that you say that I'll have to watch it.
Fair warning - it's not for the squeamish.
For some of us, totally in Third Rock. He was marvellously funny there.
I totally loved him in 3rd Rock. But I was a big 3rd Rock fan. The Big Giant Head was played by the Shatner. Come on!
Well, I never really watched 3rd Rock, so 10 Things was the first time I properly got a chance to appreciate him.
Pete, on a scale of Matrix to Sin City, with Fight Club somewhere in the middle, how would Bronson rate? Having seen a clip of Hardy talking about Bronson, I am now intrigued, but not so good with gore. (The clip in question: [link] You should all watch it, and join me and amyth in our campaign to introduce "CUT ET AHF NAAAH" into the vernacular.)
I miss 3rd Rock. Sheer goofy fun.
