Oh man, I thought that was beautiful.
And yeah, I liked Edgerton a lot. He definitely hasn't done much with a big profile in the US. [link] But he's about to be in the Baz Lurhman Great Gatsby.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought it added something to the character that not any other moment showed to that level, and I was wondering if the director wasn't going to go that far with the characterisation, or he had some other way in mind of demonstrating. It was an interesting reflex/decision.

Yeah, and he played it just right -- it's not like it was transformative, you know?

Baz Luhrman is doing Great Gatsby? That cracks me up because there are so many billboards/signs in Luhrman's movies and there is already one built in to Gatsby.
The person on the left of The Warrior poster (not sure if it is Tom Hardy) looks like Harry Connick, Jr [link]

Yes it is, and I see what you mean in that picture, but not actually.

Eh, I'd say that for "What These People Need Is a Honky" you could go back to James Fenimore Cooper.
Ha! I was just thinking "In what world were The Leatherstocking Tales published after 1911?"
Whitey McCracker Saves the Natives is a trope that goes back a lot further than last century.

Heck, there's even Proud Noble Roman turns Primitive German Tribe into Mighty Fighting Force. AKA How Several Emperors Got Their Job.

Does anyone want to read the script of Battleship? So far it's really boring. I've been spoilt, and apparently the aliens are here for...dun dun dun... water. Pretty impressive they made it this far, without, you know, already completing their mission.

Saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last night, and wow, the writer and the director really did take the novel and made the story as slashy as possible while still nominally keeping it as subtext, and then hired British actors who communicate mostly by glowering at one another. The whole movie is filmed in Pleiadescope™.
