I am the fly who dreams of the spider
With the powers of DVR, I am watching Shutter Island (I'll get over this new-fangled contraption soonish) and, when Leo finds the kids in the lake I lost it. More than when I first saw it.
Still love the ambience of the whole movie. Still have no clue how all the stories hold up, but I still love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, yes we did. It's been a long time coming, though. There were photos from filming ages ago.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Looks goofy but with a potential to be charming if it's handled with appropriate amount of froth. The supporting cast is pretty awesome.
Another new trailer I came across earlier today: [link]
It's a new film by Park Chan Wook, with a plot that looks like it may be a remake / reinvention of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. I love the Hitchcock (Joseph Cotten is amaaaazing as the creepy uncle Charlie) and this looks like it could be brilliant. Except in my limited sampling of Park's work, I found I had little stomach for his particular combination of brutality and nihilism, so I'm wary.

The eyeliner is not working for him, however.

Flavorwire: Nine Thins We Learned At Last Night's Princess Bride Reunion.
Elwes and Patinkin did all their own fencing. Though stunt people were used for some of the flips and gymnastics, Reiner says that Elwes and Patinkin did their sword-fighting themselves. “Rob said from the beginning, I don’t want stuntmen, I don’t want shots of arms,” Patinkin says. “I want you guys to film it, I want wide shots where we see the two of you.” Reiner felt tremendous pressure to stage the scenes well. “In the screenplay,” he recalls, “before the first swordfight, it’s described by Bill Goldman, it says, ‘What you’re about to see is the second-greatest swordfight in movie history. The first-greatest comes later.’” The duo trained and practiced for months — with two teachers, one for the right-handed fighting, and one for the left — up to and including the shoot, where Reiner scheduled the fight at the end of production so they could work on it as long as possible. “Cary and I would film separately for most of our scenes,” Patinkin remembers, “so during lunch and dinner was when we had the chance to work together.” When the time finally came to shoot, it led to “the only depressing moment” of the production for the actor: “When Rob would say, ‘Cut, print, we got it,’ and I would look at Cary and I’d go, ‘That means we don’t get to do that part anymore!’”
Awwww, they were loving their sword fight training.
