Oh that would be awsome! I'm sure Depp would love another chance to work with Gilliam (and be the one to save the film, rather than have his work go in the vault due to incompletion).
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Under Construction? Really? All for that?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
If you go to the site for The Dark Knight, after the splash page, this is what you get: [link]
I think that's nice, although I was looking for the trailer.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
How very Christian of them.
yeah. At the moment I'm feeling it would be worth getting arrested if I could bean one of them with a well-aimed jagged rock. Maybe I shouldn't have watched that Keith Allen piece.

move out and draw fire
I'm sure Depp would love another chance to work with Gilliam (and be the one to save the film, rather than have his work go in the vault due to incompletion).
I mentioned to a work friend that Ledger was filming a Gilliam movie, and he said, "Man, Gilliam can't buy a break can he? Someone should make a movie about his problems making movies."
So I told him about Lost in La Mancha.
I'm still really oddly upset about Ledger. It sort of feels like that was one of the turning points for universes...like, in one reality he doesn't die, but we got stuck in the one where he does die, and it's not good.
Or I need better drugs.

ION, the DH is watching the Tom Crazy video right now, and keeps repeating "This is freaky shit. This is freaky shit."

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

I feel the same way, Raq. It's weird.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I saw "There Will Be Blood" last night with Beau. I think it is a very good movie. The acting is excellent. In no way did Daniel Day-Lewis disappoint. I know some critics have felt like his performance was "ACTING", but it felt to me like he was inhabiting a character appropriately. I am not sure what the marketing department were thinking when they advertised this movie because I was expected a whole lot more violence and action than what the movie presented.
My only quibble is that there is a segment of the movie after which a lot of time passes, and I wish I had known a bit more about character development during that period, but this is a relatively minor quibble. It did drag a bit in spots, but I was generally riveted.
TWWB and No Country for Old Men both have similar styles in that there is a sparseness of dialogue. I think the directors used the landscape to strong effect in both movies and the lead actors did their absolute best physically representing the roles in the absence of dialogue.
I think Daniel Day Lewis' role is the more difficult one - but I could be convinced otherwise. DDL work is more overtly impressive.
He really is a good actor. :-)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Violence and action = bums on seats! I'm looking forward to the movie.
There's a press screening of Juno here tomorrow. I may try and sneak in.
