Zoe ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Has anyone who has seen 'Her' also seen 'Until the End of the World?'
I have not seen "Her", but this review/commentary seems to miss the mark a bit. I thought the point of "Her" was the main character's degree of self-obsession. I suppose this issue could dovetail with objectification of women, but I thought it was the primary point.
Yeah, no. I feel like I normally like Sady Doyle's writing, but in this case she's willfully ignoring the entire second half of the movie in order to make her point.
Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor in the Batman/Superman movie. That makes casting Ben Affleck as Batman look good. I am so rooting for this film to bomb.
I can see Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor much more easily than I can see Ben Affleck as Batman.

Why? Wouldn't it be better if it actually somehow great?
I think the bigger fear is that it will suck, but do well financially.

Of course.
Yeah I think JE already played Lex Luthor when he played Mark Zuckerberg. So I have no problems with that casting. They need to switch directors though.
I would be so excited for this movie if it was being made by anyone else. But every time I think the casting choices have great potential, I remember they're going to be directed by Zach Snyder, so who cares.
And this deserves its own post...THE LEGO MOVIE. OMG you guys. SO SO good. Over on FB I described it as Toy Story meets The Matrix. Hilarious from start to finish, great action scenes, and a really astounding level of detail in the animation. It almost looks like stop-motion.
The voice casting is spot-on. Allison Brie...wow. She's not in the trailers (I don't think), but the character she plays is perfect. Will Arnett's Batman is also amazing. 1980's-something Space Guy may be the only time I've ever liked Charlie Day. (I didn't hate him in Pacific Rim but he was my least favorite thing about that film.)
I think I need to see it again to catch all the background jokes I missed the first time around.
Highly recommend for all ages.
