Hmm. I also hate Wuthering Heights. But I do like Tom Hardy.

I am currently listening to an biography of the Victorian author Thomas Hardy on CD. So, everytime I see someone post about Tom Hardy, who I assume is an actor, I do a double take.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, god, no. I despise Thomas Hardy. Hopefully Tom Hardy will never star in Jude the Obscure.

I'm cleaning off my dvr a bit, and finally watched Hairspray from last weekend's broadcast on USA. Hadn't seen it before, nor have I seen any version of the film (stage or screen) other than the original with Ricki Lake. It was a damn cute film! I might have to snag a dvd of it for future viewings. Travolta grew on me by the end of the film, but I have to say that my love for Christopher Walken increased tenfold after their number. Loved seeing him dancing through the laundry with Travolta! But, Travolta is no Divine--nobody can be.

I still vastly prefer the original film, but think that the performances that were improved in this musical version were Corky Collins, Queen Latifah's Mama Maybelle, and Allyson Janey as Penny's mom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Okay! Fresh from viewing number three.

Dom wears his ring in dreams but not in real life, but at the end (from plane on) we don't see his left hand.

  • Pete, I'm sorry, I was distracted and couldn't quite focus on
whether we hear the slowed Piaf motif in the end shot. But I'm pretty sure it was during the credits.

  • As for the
safes in Mal's house and at the end, they were very different. Mal's had a dial and Fischer's had a keypad. With the lightbulb outline.

  • According to amyth, Dom and Mal were not
having a conversation while Fischer pere and fils were talking.

  • I noticed another annoying pronunciation thing. Half of the time they say "say-to" and half "sigh-to." " Based on the credits spelling (Saito) it should be the latter.

  • I also realized this time that they were
crafting the heist as they went along. They used elements of Fischer's subconscious that they discovered along the way.

Effing brilliant. Don't think I'll see it again in theaters, but glad to have ponied up for Imax.

smonster,

thanks for this. Beau and I want to go see it again, and I was wondering if I should do imax the 2nd time.

Oh! And my roommate went with us, and she hadn't seen it or even a trailer, had no idea what it was about. She didn't even know who was in it until she saw the poster at the theater. She totally loved it and is already planning to go again.

eta you're welcome, le n!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm really tempted to see it again, maybe in IMAX. I don't know if my head can handle it, though. It's so compelling.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

this movie's DVD sales are going to be off the chart.
