Mal ,'The Train Job'
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.
So, I finally went around seeing MI: Ghost Protocol on DVD and had a super-fantastic time! Apparently I don't mind Tom Cruise that much now? He was a huge fun to watch. Especially during that ridiculous "scaling the skyscraper with a pair of sticky gloves" shthick. That was AWESOME.
Jerrrrremy Rennnnner. How so hot?
*sits with Vonnie*
that little lunge thing he did before he jumped into the big fan? that's something he really does to loosen up before a scene. Tom Cruise saw him do it and had the director work it into a scene.

Yeah, that really highlighted his... er, assets. He is a wee man (he's gotta be around the same height as Tom Cruise, no? I wonder whether that's one of the reasons he was picked for the role) but so compactly built. The whole package (hee hee /am twelve) really works for me. Boy, does it ever.
yeah...he and Tom are pretty much the same height. Jeremy's imdb profile claims 5'10", but there's no way. as long as he's about my height, i care not!
People told me "but he was great in Tropic Thunder!"
No, he was really irritating. I haven't enjoyed him in anything for ten years. I'm not really bargaining on that changing soon.
I just read an anecdote about Tom Hardy and Christian Bale hugging each other because they were really tired. Part of me is convinced that was a time bomb waiting to go off, but it seems to have been uneventful.

HAHA. Oh, publicists. He's probably around 5'7". 5'8", tops. Which is plenty tall for me. Also: an age-appropriate crush-object!
Tom's says a more a believable 5'7". Jeremy totally doesn't look 41. somebody on tumblr linked to one of his first commercials(which is a totally cheesy Koday commercial) and he looked to be about 16 or 17. he was 25. haha!
there was nothing great about Tropic Thunder, in my opinion. not my humour in the least.
I liked almost everything else about Tropic Thunder. RDJ was golden.
I thought it was very funny...and I was prepared to be *pissed*, too.
I'm sure it will be/has been used to justify all sorts of ill-considered blackface.
Hello? See this point? Let me try tossing it to you again.
