Oz ,'Him'
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.
I'm wondering how Surrogates will score on the Bruce Willis Toupeé Index - generally speaking, the closer the movie comes to showing his natural hairline, the better it is.
It should be great then, Theodosia. His "surrogate" sports a really bad weave, while his real self is au naturel.
I heard good things about Grey Gardens.
I'm ignoring it!
I've always heard that story about Raymond Carver, not James M. Cain. Edit: which doesn't mean anything. I'm sure it's apocryphal, one way or the other.
And I just saw it attributed to Raymond Chandler.
As you say, probably apocryphal. But even if it is not factual, it is true.
Hmmm. Did I just defend truthiness?
Truthfully, yes.
Oh my, this is horrible.
The first draft of Star Wars was pretty awful. Mystery Man on Film takes a closer look at the 1974 version in which the young hero is Annikin Starkiller, Luke Skywalker is an elderly general, and Darth Vader is a minor character.

Will we make it? Is there any hope? Stay with me… I love you.
Starkiller is slightly shocked at this outburst. The princess starts to cry and clings to him for support.
STARKILLER
No-one is going to die…so stop acting like a child, and start behaving like a queen. What is this silly talk of love? You belong to the people of Aquilae, and my job is to return you to them, nothing more. Now straighten up and get into a lifepod.
She’s deeply hurt by his callousness. She breaks away from him and runs down a hallway into a lifepod. He is tired, and angry at the whole incident.
It makes you wonder what difference it would have made if George Lucas had rewritten the prequels a couple more times.

Or better yet, let someone who can actually write, write them.

Yep.
Did you know that Lucas considers that to be the worst of the Star Wars movies?
May Lucas rot in a hell filled with Jar-Jar clones.
OK, maybe that's a bit harsh....
