Agreed, Burrell. Sounds icky.

Thrive to spite them

It sounds like what they are going to do is something similiar to what the Orphan Black special fx crew uses. I saw a special about Tatiana's double (whose name I'm forgetting) and in that they showed how she acts with and then usually when it's two clones together it's the double and Tatiana and they digital alter Tatiana's face on to the other actress.

Obviously this is different because Paul Walker is dead, but I got the impression they were trying to handle finishing his scenes as respectfully as possible.

I assume Paul Walker's stand in looks enough like him they could have done something like that with his stand in, or used his stand in but not shown his face, which would have been weird. I would hope that if the scenes weren't necessary they just would have left them out. I'm holding judgement unitl the movie comes out.

So... anybody seen Malificent yet? I'm waiting for a consensus to see if I bother.

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

I just watched Snowpiercer, and then read a couple of reviews, and I'm really glad I knew so little about it. I'd seen people recommending staying away from trailers, and although I haven't seen one yet, it's definitely a film worth loving or hating going in, uh, cold.

I, personally, loved it. I didn't realise until way into the movie that I needed a subtitle file--most of it is in English, but there is important dialogue in Korean (I *think* it's Korean?).

A true delight for all SWINTON fans. And I really don't want Chris Evans to stop acting.

She has more than one, in "making of" that I've seen. But surely one primary one.

Colin tried to remove all the magic from that for me by over-explaining, in even more detail than the making-ofs, but when I pointed out we could tell when she was one clone pretending to be another clone, he pretty much nodded and gave props.

Which--the effects are good, but they've been working on those for a long while now. What Tatiana is doing is much rare, and I'm going to assume much harder, judging by the number of actors with 3 expressions and 2 characters.

It sounds like what they are going to do is something similiar to what the Orphan Black special fx crew uses

I'm assuming it will be way more sophisticated than Brandon Lee (how old are we???) but it will be morbidly interesting to compare it to the final Hunger Games.

So I finally saw Only Lovers Left Alive and, yes, that's EXACTLY what I expected from a Jim Jarmusch vampire movie (that's a good thing, btw).

Also, SWINTON!!!!!

I loved that the font used for the credits and, seriously, the final shot of the movie are straight out of Hammer. Loved!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I couldn't believe that was real at first. They're casting via Twitter now!
