AHHH BLACK KEYS I LOVE THEM.
Totally OTT, but campy fun.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the trailer is at the link and Beau watched it and LOVED IT. He is ready to see that movie as soon as it comes out.
I am more restrained. Wolverine pissed me off and I can't forget that.

Yeah, it does look cool, but I'm cautious. I've liked both Matthew Vaughn movies I've seen, though, and I've heard good things about Layer Cake, which is in my Netflix queue, so I'm hoping for the best.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Hated Wolverine
Loved Layer Cake
Am cautious but excited about new X-Men. But I will follow McAvoy almost anywhere.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So, I saw Shutter Island last night, and I think I liked it better than most people I know who saw it. I figured out the big twist right away, but I think you were supposed to – it was the how of the reveal that was the thing, not the what. That said, I felt like I was watching Inception: The Goth Remix (or maybe because it came out first, Inception is Shutter Island: The Techno Version?).
I mean seriously:
- Leonardo DeCaprio as a haunted, possibly unbalanced investigator in scenes where it becomes difficult to determine what’s real and what isn’t incorporating dreams/flashbacks within dreams/flashbacks
- Obscure and often frightening visions of Leo’s dead wife, plus haunting flashes of children
- An atonal, bombastic soundtrack punctuated by a Significant Song that sometimes is shown playing on a turntable
- A loyal second-in-command who disappears from Leo’s reality for most of the latter part of the movie
- An ambiguous ending leaving the exact nature of Leo’s final fate up for question
So I guess it comes down to:
- Gothic horror noir vs. retro-future noir
- Michelle Williams vs. Marion Cotillard
- Mark Ruffalo vs. JG-L
- Ben Kingsley, Max Von Sydow, Jackie Earl Haley, Ted Levine, Elias Koteas & Patricia Clarkson vs. Ken Watanabe, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger and Pete Postlethwaite
- Hitchcock, Michael Powell and Mario Bava vs. video games, William Gibson and Conrad Hilton
There’s no real equivalent of Tom Hardy, though.
