Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins were the only redeeming features of HOOK. Hoffman somehow overplayed by underplaying and I loved it. He just seemed so depressed, like he'd signed onto something and realized, for once because it was Spielberg, he couldn't just bow out (see also the original premise of GET SHORTY).
Whoa. Good myth.

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 like Hook. Just saying.
Me too.

Yes I felt sorry for them. But even they cannot make up for the one-two punch that is Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts in the same movie.

Hey. New board.
I like Robin Williams being silly and the whole Rufio plot was funny then sad and I was a kid? I do not have a very thought out reasoned argument. I watched it several times and enjoyed it thoroughly and would probably like it again out of nostalgia if nothing else.
I also feel this way about the Sandlot though I think it gets better press.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, my affection for Hook has a lot to do with my age at first viewing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Random question prompted by the news that DC has Sandman as one of the movies at the top of their list: how important is the age of the actress playing Delirium?

I think they could get away with a Jane Levy type, someone who could pass for teenage if you squint really hard.
