Air: Following the links from Super Badasskingdom on youtube led me to bad places, like Super. A 2010 film with Ariadne and the director of Slither. A comment from the trailer had me searching out scenes, and based just on two, decided it was not the film for me, even if Nathan Fillion seems to have a cameo as well as most of the cast from Slither (which I love).
People can do whatever they want with their stories, but I, as a viewer, can't cope with stories that are 90% haha violence and mayhem, emphasis on the haha, and then whip out the 10% serious rape and ultra-violence. Those two things don't mesh as a wanted viewing experience. Let alone an enjoyable one.
James Spader has been signed to play Ultron in Avengers 2.
I have seen World's End. My god that movie has a very fine structure! I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
I don't know how anyone could miss the
hospital ID band, it's right there in the middle of the screen, up close and personal, long enough to read his birthdate.
Not that that precludes
"getting help" to mean rehab with medical intervention but the circle in the beginning did not feel 12-steppish to me.
FWTW.
Simon Pegg really enjoys
jumping over hedges,
doesn't he?
Cornetto trilogy fence gag.
There's more in World's End than this shows of course, this is just from the trailer.
I only caught the lyric ita mentioned because
the song had been playing earlier (in the car? On the tape, I think).
It would not surprise me if there was a lot more of that that slipped right past me.
When I asked the question about that early scene on IO9, someone said that no one in it was wearing
shoelaces.
Which is way the other end of observant from
there was a hospital bracelet?
and also rarer--I think three people didn't catch the latter, just the one mentioned the former.
I caught the lyric because I'm wired for that song, but I think that's also why I missed it
when it was played normally.
Okay, ENTIRELY different movie question:
Why would an Australian Easter Bunny be all about spring? I mean, organically, why would Australian resurrection of Jesus have the full oestrus impact? I'm guessing they wanted it to be not so monocultural (Old Nick being Russian and not so much Father Christmas, f'rninstance), but I can't help coming away from Rise Of The Guardians (at least so far) thinking: a) I hate winter b) I've never celebrated Easter with anything other than bun and cheese c) zero Old Nick d) I got remunerated for
one
tooth...maybe that explains who I am, actually. But I like good dreams!
And really think Pitch and Loki should make mad passionate hate with each other.
Oh, hey, I haven't seen Rise of the Guardians but I read somewhere that the Santa sort of character was Russian. I don't suppose they call him Grandfather Frost with Jack Frost also being in the movie?
Didn't notice the
shoelaces.
I read somewhere that the Santa sort of character was Russian
I admit, the only name I remember them using is Nick, but yeah, Russian like I mentioned. That makes sense. Rabbits and Australia--I dig. Spring and Easter and Australia, I get much less.
I wonder if you told someone going to watch World's End to look out for the
shoelaces
if they'd even notice that. Man, sometimes I feel like a sleepy audience member.
I'm sure I missed many details. By the end I felt quite drunk and disoriented, like a contact high without the actual contact. I have a feeling I'll be replaying the DVD numerous times looking for stuff I missed when I get the chance.
I loved the Russian Santa. So many folklore hints in the background.
