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.
From what I've seen about ASM2, the thing I'm disliking the most is the garish, highly-stylized CGI that calls too much attention to itself.
I mean, the Green Lantern movie sucked for a myriad of reasons, but the thing that ultimately ruined the picture for me was that it was just so ugly to look at.
Pandora just served me an ad for a soundtrack to a Ryan Reynolds movie that came out in 2005 called "Just Friends". On the movie poster, Ryan Reynolds looks like he's in a fat suit. Is this the friendzone movie I never wanted?
Argh, the nearest showing of Only Lovers Left Alive is 20 miles away and ends on Thursday. I don't think I can make that happen.
Aw, JAR didn't get it. But if they're trading black for black, Boyega's a good pick.
I love him, but my honest reaction to seeing Max Von Sydow's name was, 'He's still alive?'
RIP Bob Hoskins: [link]
Aw. RIP Mr. Hoskins. It seems like he was well loved, bless him. I always admired his work.
His role in Mermaids was one of my favorites.
That was a good one. I think I first saw him in Mona Lisa and second in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which set the stage for never really knowing what to expect from him.
