River ,'Safe'
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.
I ask because my co-worker's friends interpreted the last scene as
I always (in the book and the movie) interpreted the last scene to mean that we just don't know what will happen.
Also, in the book when Ozzy asks Dr. Manhattan, "In the end, I did the right thing, right?" and Manhattan says, "Nothing ever ends," I took that as implying the same thing. Like the book could have ended with the cheesy tagline, "The end... or is it???"
I thought the characters talked about the Keene Act several times, in those exposition-heavy scenes.
The other thing that Dr. Manhattan (I think, or was it Dan) said to Ozy at the end, that I missed from the movies was "What if it DOESN'T last?"
Apollonia Vanova: Striking Silhouette
The actress playing Silhouette was so striking with her severe hair, shiny gloves and stiletto boots that I couldn’t help myself. Of course much of the credit for her perfect appearance should go to costume designer Michael Wilkinson, but the feline grace in every second of Silhouette’s brief screen time is definitely the actress’ own.
I suspected Slavic roots - those cheekbones don’t lie! As it turns out, Apollonia Vanova is a Slovakian immigrant currently residing in Vancouver. She’s also an opera singer, sculptor and a… Fitness model? Indeed. You might recognize her as the Wraith Queen from Stargate Atlantis - just one of a string of sci-fi and fantasy roles she’s played. Vanova has a degree in sculpture from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and uses everything from clay to leather, I just wish she had her artwork online! Looking forward for more from this lady, no matter what the medium might be.
There's a great picture of her in character - she really is very striking....
Sophia - I think you posted in the wrong thread....
