Wash ,'War Stories'
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.
I was just looking for the "Post-Haste" scene on Youtube (because I cannot believe that a movie with a Post-Haste truck is taking itself seriously)
Ahahaha, I didn't catch that! There were various cute references like that throughout the movie.
I thought Claire Danes did the Shakespeare better than Leo, myself.
I adore the Baz Luhrman R&J. I can't really explain why, but I don't think it feels like parody and I think it works in all its over-the-topness.
this was my favorite song on the R&J soundtrack. [link]
Is it the Butthole Surfers one? That one is mine. (I am on my phone).
no, it's Des'Ree's "Kissing You".
OK- now I am watching R+J for the first time since the theatre...
And what I have to say is: PAUL RUDD!!!!!!
I know!! I didn't know he was in it. Aw.
Reasons Why Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the Web's Favorite Star of the Moment. He is even more awesome than I imagined.
Conclusions of R + J
Paul Rudd = Adorable
Harold Perrineau in drag = HOTT
Leo = very pretty like a young rent boy
John LeGuizamo = the height of hotness
Red headed dudes = doofy and sound like they need to blow their noses.
Costumes are pretty brilliant, as they do not seem dated at all.(except Romeo's wedding suit) The seventies collars were just coming back in, I think.
ETA: Also, Leo is often wet. And there are a lot of scaffolds
