Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
So it looks like someone besides me noticed that Lila Garrity (Minka Kelly) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) are dead ringers.
Do you think they'll ever notice the David Boreanaz/Josh Brolin/Craig Scheffer connection? I spent huge portions of W. going "Angelus?"
Josh Brolin and Craig Sheffer played brothers (along with David Arquette) in The Road Killers, so at least one casting director is aware of the general resemblance.
Green Hornet: It wasn't epic cinema, but I did enjoy it. I actually feel like I want to blame the editors, for making a fun first two-thirds and then slamming through the last part like they were running from the police, to the detriment of, you know, plot.
It's a coming-of-age story, and a bro movie of the highest level. I think you've got to love Seth Rogen to love it, or at least not hate him. It's funny, because I actually thought it was pretty "realistic" for a comic book movie, in that if two guys had a bunch of money and gadgets and wanted to fight crime, that's pretty much how it would end up.
I'm waiting for the JDM/RDJ/Bardem movie where they all play brothers.

OK, now I'm envisioning RDJ in No Country for Old Men with the Peter Tork hair and laughing like a drain. Thank you, I needed a laugh like that after the playoff game I just endured.
or Mark Valley/Joel Gretsch/Colin Ferguson.
Oh, I saw Bardem on some interview show last Sunday, and he came off as really cool and down-to-earth.
I read an interview with Bardem and it mentioned how nonplussed he was when the Coens told him they wanted him to wear that hair. But he went along with it. It must have been a little like when the Coens told Clooney they'd written the role in O Brother... with him in mind - "You play the stupidest man on Earth."
I just saw The King's Speech and I really loved it. I thought I'd just like it, but the movie swept me up and kept me in its stranglehold the whole time.
Bonham Carter is really great, but unfortunately has to deal with really bad hair.
Firth and Rush are fabulous. I am so amazed that Firth really seemed to get the physicality of stuttering really really well. He is a marvelous actor.
I guess I need to watch Pride & Prejudice again.
I didn't dislike Black Swan and the performances were great, but I must admit I didn't really get the point.
And, you know, if you feel the need to hit your audience over the head with the story of Swan Lake to make your movie work, get the damn story right.
