Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Lon Chaney Sr.'s 1927 silent London After Midnight is showing tonight on TCM. It's a restoration and only an hour long so I doubt they have the whole film, but it's still a hugely significant bit of film history.
Really too late to affect anyone's decision, but I've seen the TCM re-creation. It's largely a collection of still photos used to give a flavor of the film itself.
I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Chaney's work, but worth seeing once if you're already familiar with him.
The Flick Filosopher has been doing a series she calls "Female Gazing," which is gorgeous pictures of famous men, concentrating on one at a time. Today it's Matthew Lewis, aka Neville Longbottom.
I've seen a few of these pics before, but as she says in the post, he does look a bit like a baby Clive Owen!
OMG, there are 2 Jeff Buckley bio-pics in the works and it looks like a Tim Buckley one in which Jeff appears.
Did I know this? That Enver's in The Avengers?
OOH.
Nice! Is he just a random cop? Hmm.
You know, that's the other thing about Captain America -- great casting from top to bottom.
Also, it's Joss.
Did we know this?
It’s come to my attention that David Fincher, director of such excellent films as The Social Network, Zodiac, and Se7en, is going to be making a movie out of Jules Verne’s 1870 novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Très, très intéressant.
Wow. Now I wish he'd done League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I hope that's Enver but I can't tell for sure. It could be Anton Yelchin. I'm not finding confirmation elsewhere & I remember when I thought SMG was in Dr Horrible.
