Anne Hathaway cast in Dark Knight Rises. Character details at the link, though it's not like they'll stay unknown for long.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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

it all looks unhealthy and even a bit old fashioned, sexist and dumbass.
This may be the best assessment of Jules et Jim that I've ever seen.

I also hate Jules et Jim. P-C, another French New Wave flick you might like is Cleo From 5 To 7, which is kind of a feminist take on the frequently used plot of "movie-besotted beautiful young people kill time stylishly."

An excellent description of both Antonioni and Last Year at Marienbad.

Who would you have picked instead?
I can't lie, I'm excited about Tom Hardy. But I suspect Anne can do a decent job.
Hmm. Now I realise I'd have wanted Morena Baccarin.

Hm. Also available streaming and added to the queue. I'm not sure whether I want to have some sort of French New Wave Weekend or space these out.
The much-loved Small Change is not available on Netflix. Ah well. I have enough to watch already.
Uh. I am underwhelmed. Meh.
Well, it's not really a surprise, although I was expecting Talia al-Ghul more.
Or do you not like Anne Hathaway (in general or specifically for the part)?

I vote for French New Wave Weekend! You can top it all off with Godard's Weekend and then take to the hills with the anarchists!
