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!
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

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.

I have this fear that I will hate them all and wonder why I like movies.

I'd be surprised if you hated them all. They're not spinach. They're not conventional Hollywood movies either, though. They take their time, and they linger over ambiguities. They don't insist on American resolutions. Sex and romance don't inevitably lead to True Love. There's a much more varied emotional pallette. They're usually very charming. I can't imagine somebody watching Anna Karina in Band of Outsiders and not being at least a little bit taken with her. She's cool!

Hey. New board.
I like the Anne Hathaway casting. I think there is potential there.

David speaks the truth. There's a whole lot of variation in the French New Wave. Hell, there's a whole lot of variation in Godard's 15 movies between 1959 and 1967. I love some and hate some and am utterly indifferent to at least one.

All I know about Hathaway is that she's pretty. But I'm happy about the character. Contraiwise, I know I like Hardy, but I'm kind of "...Huh" about his role.

Wait, do we know who he's playing?

Because books.
Who is he playing, P-C?

Bane.
Guess I have to finally get around to reading Knightfall. The library doesn't seem to have it.
The identities of both villains can be found here. If we're keeping mum about it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Character details at the link, though it's not like they'll stay unknown for long.
I was all, "What character details?" and then I loooked at the title. I R DUM.
I think she'll be fantastic. She was amazing in Rachel Getting Married.
