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 terrifically busy with my ennui.

I need a non-war edit of Band of Brothers.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have realised that I don't care. You could dress HBC deliriously and I'd cheer her on. Because I think the thing the girlishness was conveying can also be portrayed through mannerism and affect, and that some older actresses might be as good at that.

Or you could cast the chick who earned her way onto Harry Potter by beating an eating disorder. Which is allI can remember about her other than her ability to be floaty but on point with little loss on either side.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh, Luna Lovegood ss Delirium would be great.

She has to be girlish, but also ancient, and flighty/wise without being a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

Hey. New board.

I think the most important thing about Delirium in a Sandman movie is that neither she nor the movie ever come into existence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sandman could be an HBO series. I don't think it would make a good movie.

Agree on both counts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HBO is already making a series from American Gods.

I think you could take one of his stories and make a movie out of it. Have Cate Blanchette narrate over your opening describing the Endless and their place in space and time, and boom, you're good. Go into some Tarsem Singh visuals.

So I was re-watching The Avengers--as one does--and studying the credits. Alexis Denisov as The Other? It didn't sound like Wesley at all!
