I'm watching GI Joe, Rise of Cobra (don't ask...okay, JGL if you must know, what a bust).
Oh, ita, I wish you'd said something. I could have warned you.
It was more or less worth my matinee admission price back when because it delivered good Delta 6 accelerator suit action and Channing Tatum was looking fine in his shirtless workout scene. But the JGL was strictly I'm-phoning-it-in-because-my-mortgage-company-is-on-the-other-line quality.
Plus, it earworms you with "Boom Boom Pow" if you watch the credits.
Also, RIP Leslie Nielsen.
I'm glad and somewhat appalled at A³'s accent. At least it wasn't supposed to be convincing.
As for the JGL--I'm just glad Eccleston and Nichols were in the movie. And Wayans didn't entirely aggravate me. But Tatum is like, less than Worthington in terms of pull for me. He's so forgettable.
I skipped the credits, although I did notice there were 12 minutes of them.
I reeeally wanted to love Trapeze. But I'm with Theo. Actually I think it would have been a better movie with no women in it at all, because at least then one wouldn't be cringing so much and often and could just enjoy the, um, plot.
Trapeze is a movie that begs for fic. I mean, I can't imagine more blatant HoYay in the '50s.
Oooh!
Fantastic news for Wes Anderson fans: the auteur’s next project appears to be lined up—and actors are already lining up for it. Deadline.com has reported that Anderson is set to begin production in late spring 2011 on the sixties-set Moon Rise Kingdom (written by Anderson and Roman Coppola), concerning two young lovers who run away and the adult leaders of their small New England town who try to track them down. It comes as no surprise that Bill Murray has been named as part of the cast, but the others currently attached are head-turning: Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis, and Tilda Swinton. Moon Rise Kingdom, which will be Anderson’s first live-action film since 2007’s The Darjeeling Limited, is to be produced by Scott Rudin, who has worked on every Anderson title since The Royal Tenenbaums.
Ha. He doesn't address the "it's all Mal's dream" which is my favorite theory.
