'Underneath'
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.
Which one?
I was trying to recall just that, Jon. I think it was Sandy West. I have a vague memory of her referring to a "Sandy" but dang, it's been decades. And she understandably wanted to make sure that none of us students knew anything about it. I only know because my mom was good friends with many of the teachers, so she was over at our house one day and mentioned it.
I was going to bitch that The Book of Eli had flown entirely under my radar (I just bumped into the trailer doing my periodic Apple TV trailer review), but then I realised I've had pics of Denzel up on one of my sites from it since September. I just never knew where they'd come from.
So I'm back around to bitching. Have I just been skipping the ads on TiVo? The trailer totally looks like something I'd rewind for, Mila Kunis notwithstanding. Or is it flying close to the ground because it's supposed to be a turkey (I haven't seen much analysis of it, bar one site that called it Denzel's version of The Postman, which isn't good--but they sounded very amused with themselves)?
Given that they're releasing it in January, it doesn't seem like a good sign.
If pics from it have been available since September, that's especially not a good sign.
I get the Avatar hate from that article, but if you approach it like it's a pulp story from the 1930s - 1950s, it's actually stunningly fair to women. They have agency, and are not in refrigerators.
French long trailer for Inception.
It occurs to me that Christopher Nolan may supplant Ang Lee for the position of my favourite director. Until he makes a Hulk- shaped misstep.
Intriguing NYT review on Police, Adjective - a Romanian crime procedural with an emphasis on grammar.
Oh dear. It's like they made that movie just for Buffistas....
Romanian grammar is a bitch. It's the only language that has retained Latin conjugation.
ita, I am SO looking forward to "Inception." I just can't stand it. Nothing has been exciting to me as far as new movie releases in months. I've enjoyed movies I've seen, but nothing that gave me that "I'm going to midnight show, fuck it" kind of feeling.
