Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Bale as John Connor.
I did already know about this, but, his tranformation into the oaken-jawed manly man his previous roles used to parody is kind of... weird. Right? I'm not the only one mumbling behind her hand that she used to see him in cravats/bell bottoms/nothing at all and bad hair in such-and-such an indie movie, right?
Also, it is creepy that he does US publicity for his American roles in an American accent.
Well, if he is interviewed onset, I can see how he would stay with the accent. I know, for example, Hugh Laurie speaks in his House accent all during the shooting day. If he doing a press tour, that would be kind of...odd.
He does it throughout the junket.
I guess...he's still on their dime? I dunno. Part of me thinks it's just one more bit of admission that the junket is roleplaying--I don't think if he went on Leno about Batman he'd talk in an American accent, though.
wither go the Wild Things?
Saw a preview of Penelope, and it was pretty cute, if a bit silly. It's a got a really nice cast: Christina Ricci, James McAvoy, Catherine O'Hara, Richard E. Grant (who has, like, nothing to do), and Peter Dinklage. With cameos by Russell Brand and Nick Frost!
PotC3...aside from wondering how Elizabeth manages to raise a semi-functional child alone on a deserted island, and why the kid would have the foggiest who Will is (that's all the post-credit bit, I think), I just kind of love the idea of some other band of whack-a-loon pirates going on a quest to find the Pirate King.
And finding a pretty mother in a dress.
how Elizabeth manages to raise a semi-functional child alone on a deserted island
She spends all that time on a deserted island? It's been a while, but I don't remember coming away with that impression.
At the end, they show her walking up to a coastline with the boy, and both look clean and well-dressed. I assumed she, as an ex-governor's daughter, had set up house somewhere by the sea waiting for her love to return.

In a non-deserted place, right?
I would think so.
