Linda Hamilton for T2. T1, she had not muscled up yet.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Linda Hamilton took steroids, which is hopefully not an option any more. (Okay, I thought that was confirmed, but I can't find anything online to back me up, so take it with a grain of salt.)
I'm sure body builders in Hollywood still use steroids.
I'm rewatching Velvet Goldmine for the first time in a really, reallllly long time, and it just struck me that when it came out, I never would've imagined in my most feverish fangirl dreams that the opening montage would one day read as Batman falling instantly in love with Henry VIII. And how ridiculously perfect that kind of is.
And that's even before Obi-Wan shows up.
Heh, Dana.
I saw Frozen this afternoon. It was cute, and kind of surprising for a Disney flick about princesses. For one thing, the most important relationship in the movie is between the two sisters, not the romance. In fact, if you cut out the romance entirely, the plot would pretty much be the same. Which I like.
I didn't love the talking snowman. But the reindeer was basically a big clumsy dog with antlers (kind of like Max from the Grinch), and I loved him.
It was also quite beautifully made: all the ice castles and everything were very cool. Recommended.
I would like to know if Kristen Bell did her own singing, though.
Per the credits, she did.
"I didn't know how great a singer she was," her co-star, Tony winner Idina Menzel, told Yahoo Movies. "I quickly found out and need to constantly tell her because she doesn't tell anybody else! She's always playing it down."
"It was definitely a wonderful surprise hearing her voice [during auditions], not knowing that she had been classically trained," director Jennifer Lee said. "Also, she had such a warm, sweet voice. She was everything that we could've hoped for for Anna. I don't think there could be any other Anna but Kristen Bell."
And that's even before Obi-Wan shows up.
Heh, yes. In the days of "Ewan MacGregor must take his trousers off in every damn movie", no less.
Per the credits, she did.
Hah! And I had no idea she had all that training. Bully for her!
If I were in movies I would absolutely IMDB costars before meeting them in person. And anybody know IMDBs KB will know that she has done musicals. And they would also learn that Reefer Madness the Musical the Movie exists, which is never a bad thing to learn.
