Michelle Yeoh, absolute badass on a motorcycle.

Hmph. They don't have the whole fight in Project S up, however, she's very badass in the trailer and that very last clip where she clocks the guy with the bag of coins is the fight I mean.

You should probably just watch Project S anyway.

I probably should!

I probably should!

Let me give you a one sentence review: It is way cooler than it it is good.

But you should totally watch cool things.

Big screen Doctor Whos? I've linked to the one that amused me most. Some of them are severely WTF? Others are reasonable suggestions. I have no idea how they'll go.

The posters for Happy Feet Two have sweaters on the "Two". I'm assuming it's because of the recent penguin sweater press, no? Which would make it a reasonably quick response to a press piece. Or did it predate that?

Has anyone else seen The Skin I Live In, the new Almodovar movie? I went to see it tonight, and (as I said so eloquently in Natter), whoa. I'm really not sure what I thought of it.

Hoping to see it, but haven't yet. It's supposed to be pretty twisted, even for Almodovar, from what I heard.

Although I have to say Law of Desire was a massively eye-opening movie for me on a number of levels. Matador too, while on the subject.

I saw it in September, I know what you mean. It was pretty fucked up and then went to a whole new level of fucked up. At the same time, it was done in a style that was kind of easy to watch. And Antonio Banderas hasn't been that attractive for a while, except for you know...

Exactly, Sue! I really didn't think he would go there. I still have a hard time understanding the psychological reasoning behind turning your daughter's rapist into the woman you love. How could you possibly get past the revulsion of knowing who s/he really was? I mean, obviously Ledgard was miles away from being in his right mind; I just didn't expect he was *that* far gone. Bizarre. But yes, it was awfully stylish and smooth, too, which made it easier to watch.

I keep wondering if I'd feel differently about Almodovar if he wasn't gay. His fascination with the female body, for example, would make me more uncomfortable if I felt like he were getting off on it, but because he's gay, it seems more like an aesthetic appreciation than a sexual one. But the result is still lots of naked female flesh onscreen, so how much of a difference does/should his own sexuality make?
