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!
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?
*Googles*
...Huh.
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.
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.
Who would you have picked instead?
I haven't really thought about it. Though, now that I am thinking about it, though it would be impossible considering Dark Knight, I think Maggie Gyllenhaal would have been aces. (I guess it isn't impossible; just weird as shit.)
Or do you not like Anne Hathaway (in general or specifically for the part)?
I like her, at least for the fluffy stuff I've seen her in (the princess movie with Julie Andrews, and that horrible bridezilla movie). And, honestly, her role in Brokeback Mountain didn't scream "I R SRS ACTRESS!!!" to me.
I guess she just seems like a silly vapid ingenue to me, which doesn't really fit the role she was cast for.

As Daisy notes, she wasn't a silly vapid ingenue in Rachel Getting Married. She was dark, neurotic and fucked up.
