Lorne ,'Smile Time'
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.
Interview with Inception costumer Jeffrey Kurland. Interestingly, he says that Cobb's kids aren't wearing the same clothes in the final scene.
The piece has great pictures--I haven't been able to find near enough high quality shots of Arthur's wardrobe.
So amyth and I watched Rocknrolla last night as part of our continuing Tom Hardy obsession. What a weird movie. I can't even decide if I liked it or not, really. Guy Ritchie must be so fucking high when he writes those screenplays. Definitely fails the Bechdel test in a major way, but minor yay for no onscreen violence against women?
Handsome Bob is all win, though. My new tag is TH talking about his experience making the film. J/k! Using a different TH quote.
I liked it, but not because I understood it...the other Ritchie caper films were better on that count. Wild ride, though. And Piven.
Someone on WX linked to this article about 2010 being the worst movie year EVER, and I just can't take it seriously because it's lauding The Matrix and Jurassic Park in the same breath as The Godfather.
No, it's not a great year, but if you're just looking for Jurassic Park level movies, I think we're doing okay. All you need is visual impact and some breathtaking. It was a fun film, but it wasn't great.
We'll see when the year is done. Was 2009 that good?
I renounce that article and all its works.
More films about the pivotal role of choreography in rescuing the underclass from its own worst instincts.
Hey, fuck you and your classist self, and also? I am looking forward to Step Up 3D.
Also, what was wrong with Iron Man 2?
Was 2009 that good?
It was a great year for animation at least.

It got a little heavy in the "Can Tony get himself back on the right track?" direction, but other than that there were sufficient blow-things-up moment to be worth it. And if Natasha shows up in the next movie, I do hope they recast her, because lord, that woman was painful to watch.
Samuel L. Jackson fulfilled his Badass For All Occassions duties well.
Jurassic Park was at least different. Anyway, I think that article means to talk about the summer, not the year, right? Actual language aside? This has not been a good summer for the movies.

Not enough RDJ in an undershirt.
Teppy makes a valid point.
