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

I guess they might go with the organisations that produced/chased him? Is whatsisname still doing action roles?

I watched the making of of The Adjustment Bureau, and they talked about all the training Blunt went through in order to be halfway convincing as a dancer. I don't know shit about dancing, so I can't gauge her success, and they did use doubles for some of it, but she said it was gruelling. Am I just that clueless or did they train her to be a better dancer than the fight choreographers made a fighter of Paula Patton?

(Obviously one of these is my bugaboo, and the other I am innocent as all hell...)

So I ordered a bunch of DVDs for my class from a Korean vendor on eBay. I've done this before and had nothing but good experiences so far, and it's the only way to get some pretty rare films at a reasonable price.

Unfortunately this time I ordered "Zero de Conduite" and received "Germany Year Zero". Now the seller is insisting that they are the same movie. Oh dear....

hwæt

Did we know that Roland Emmerich is filming a version of Isaac Asimov's Foundation? Saddest news I've heard all day.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I can still enjoy watching Cruise in Inteview with the Vampire but perhaps it's that the role of a vain, predatory monster that's desperate to maintain relevance to changing times by latching on to his younger victims and building a pseudo-family with them doesn't conflict that much with my off-camera impression of him.

I do now. Meh. Would that this were a reality (see the next two comics for a continuation): [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

AV Club agrees with Jessica, raves about Mission Impossible (mostly about how awesome Brad Bird can direct an action scene) and is meh about Sherlock Holmes.

Guess I'll go see Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Hey. New board.

Ebert liked both of them, gave both of them 3.5 starts, but did seem especially blown away by a particular skyscraper-themed scene in MI.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I can't imagine seeing Tom Cruise in anything again. Sherlock Holmes kind of looks like Spiderman 3 in the trailers, in the sense that it looks like it has everything but the kitchen sink in it...I'll probably see it over the holidays, though.
