'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
The Normal Heart, which I am unable to watch until the end of August, has led me to a Ruffalo binge watch. I'm now on Zodiac, and RDJ's Avery is such a Tony Stark prototype, just less manic. And I'm waiting for the mainstream movie where MR us that guy in a woman's movie (which is one of the reasons not being able to watch TNH is frustrating).
But I can see now how he got cast (perfectly) as Bruce Banner.
Me neither, although he was my dreamboat of choice 25 years ago. (Wait -- how old *is* he? Whatever work he's had done is really good.
He was never my type, but there's no denying he looks good. I'm thinking he's had a facelift, at least, just going by the way the skin pulls underneath his earlobe.
it's interesting that Edge of Tomorrow didn't cast any hot young 21-year-olds in J Company
Ford was young and hot!
Ford was young and hot!
I had to look him up because I didn't remember him. Jesus Christ, he is literally 21. He was born the year I graduated from college. I feel so old.
And I just looked up Tom Cruise -- he's 49. Definitely had work done, but it's pretty decent -- he doesn't look like Denis Leary or anything.
Denis Leary had work done? That disappoints me.
I was going to say that Tom Cruise has to be 49. He went to high school with a friend of mine. Santa Monica HS (or Samohi as it is called). She also went to school with Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen (although I think Sheen is my age). She said that even in high school people would point to Cruise and say that he already had an agent and he was going to be famous one day.
Tom Cruise, pre anti-Xenu. Trying to wrap my noggin around that...
It's not a good result for Denis, which, for me, makes it sadder than if he'd been vain and come out looking great. I liked his former face fine, though, actually.
It seems to me like as the years go on Denis Leary and Willem Dafoe look more and more alike. I doubt that was what Denis was going for with the surgery, but you never know.
I stopped on a movie on TCM and I said, "huh, that looks like Gene Kelly."
Well, wouldn't you know, it was. The movie? "On the Town." Never have seen this movie before.
Oh, On the Town! Gene Kelly and a young Frank Sinatra. I adore that movie. I know I'm late to the party, but I do really have great fondness for On the Town.
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down :-)
