Thanks for the heads up, ita.

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.
Kisten Wig and Bill Hader in a film? Yes, please. One would assume comedy but those two have some serious drama chops.
The Skeleton Twins? Yeah, I was just looking at a clip of that today. (The lip sync scene.)
Yup. It's pretty awesome.
Apparently Viola Davis has been cast as Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad. If we have to have a thin Wall, she's one of the best choices, IMO.
I think I'll always love her for the scene in How To Get Away With Murder where she takes off her makeup and false lashes and her wig and just regards herself in the mirror. She can go glam and not--I hope some boundaries are wobbled a little.
So, Exodus: Gods and Kings - I have to say, I'm not sure what Ridley Scott had in mind. I feel like no one ever decided what kind of movie this was supposed to be. And I sat through all the credits particularly to see the "No animals were harmed" thingy and there wasn't one.
As we were leaving the two white-haired ladies behind me who also stayed through the credits said they should have cast people who looked like Egyptians, so if that's the target audience: still missing the mark.
I read that Christian Bale called his skin colour a burden when people complained about the casting (Idris Elba may have been mentioned...).
Oh dear.
Uh.
Remember when he was so cute in Little Women? Sigh.
Yeah, he's been one of the worst cases of celebrity disillusionment for me. The realization that, say, Mel Gibson or Mark Wahlburg is someone I wouldn't want to know in real life didn't come with much trauma.
