Starring Terence Stamp, it's Fellini's tip of the hat to Mario Bava, and in turn Kubrick stole something from it for Clockwork Orange.
As did Scorcese, in a way, for Last Temptation of Christ.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Saw Hugo today. I really liked it, found it quite engaging and quite beautiful. They got the automaton right, which for me was the important part. The bookstore was also quite delightful. Pity they don't look like that anymore.

Nicole Miller's is silly. Rachel Roy's is I don't even know. The Blonds turn Katniss into Phoenix and it looks pretty cool. Christian Siriano's is pretty nice too. BCBGeneration's is pretty awesome, if impractical. Christian Cota's generally works. Ooh, I like Charlotte Ronson's.
Are these fashion designers aware that Jennifer Lawrence is not seven feet tall with no waist?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are familiar with fashion illustration tropes, right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Saw The Muppets. Was near to tears the entire movie. Am such a sap. I am Walter.
Also finally saw Zombieland. Wonderful fun movie. Loved all the characters.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is set to make movie history this December when it presents the world television premiere of Fear and Desire (1953), the rarely seen debut film by legendary director Stanley Kubrick. Premiering Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. (ET), the allegorical war drama from the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Shining (1980) will be the centerpiece of an extraordinary 24-hour marathon honoring the preservation efforts of the Motion Picture Department at George Eastman House.
Stanley Kubrick’s allegorical anti-war drama Fear and Desire, which opens the primetime portion of TCM’s tribute to the George Eastman House, stars Frank Silvera, Paul Mazursky (who would later go on to become a noted filmmaker) and Kenneth Harp. The story centers on a platoon stranded behind enemy lines while fighting an unknown foe in an unidentified conflict. The existential drama comes to a climax when the soldiers’ perilous return home is interrupted by an encounter with a mysterious woman.
