Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
For those people who hadn't like Mark Ruffalo in much before "The Avengers", I do recommend "You Can Count On Me" and "The Brothers Bloom."
Speaking as a serious, long-time Mark Ruffalo fan (ever since You Can Count on Me--which is basically a flawless film) In the Cut, Zodiac, 13 Going on 30, and We Don't Live Here Anymore are pretty good, too. Avoid Just Like Heaven at all costs. I saw that in the theater and it dampened even my crush on him for awhile.
Plus Zodiac gives bonues interactions with RDJ.
Any film where Mark Ruffalo is supposed to be charming and appealing instead of vaguely unnerving is going to be pushing very hard against my suspension of disbelief. He works for me as the Hulk because the film acknowledges there is something just wrong about him.
My first awareness of Ruffalo was a Spanish/Canadian indie My Life Without Me, in which he and everyone else were excellent. Though he appears to have been hidden in things I'd seen way before, like There Goes My Baby, 54, and an episode of Due South.
I feel kinda bad about not responding well to Ruffalo (as opposed to Renner--he's just weird), because nothing *seems* to be wrong with him. Yet my hairs still stand on end.
I am Jessica and ita ! WRT to Ruffalo. Just... blecch.
Oh, dear god. I know fantasy casting is fun, but when you're writing for a "proper" website, you have some responsibility to at least take positions that stimulate conversations, not make people roll their eyes and move on.
Daniel Radcliffe as Batman? Pull the other one...it's got bells on: [link]
it's troll bait.
If he said Radcliffe as Spider-Man, I might have said he wasn't totally crazy.
So Prometheus was pretty good, not quite as GREAT as I was kind of expecting, but the "pretty good" was so spectacularly good that I can't say I'm disappointed either. I'm not. It also might take further viewings to really decide how I feel about it.
That said, every second of the film was eye popping. Also, this is not a horror movie. There are some very tense and harrowing moments and sequences, but this is straight up sci fi. And my oost for Noomi Rapace deepened considerably.
Yeah, I'm going to temper my expectations for sure, but I'm seeing it in 3D on Sunday. What D did you see it in? I've heard the 3D is nigh perfect.
