Film stuff. (With apologies to Bill.)

I'll skip my inevitable grumbles about the plot holes in The Adjustment Bureau (because trying to fathom why Emily Blunt's character didn't just bloody well get in touch with Matt Damon during one of the sojourns - he's supposed to be a politician, so how hard could it be? - hurts my massive brain), and dive into the leading cinematic question of ( Read more... )

films, wtf?, adaptations

Re Alex Cox, buggered if I know, but just be greatful he isn't standing ontop of a building with a machete, drinking tiger's blood and banging on about curing his addictions by blinking............... yes, Charlie, it's really called 'bi-winning' if you're not on lithium. Nurse, the screens!

Okay, I'm a movie nerd, but there is a Sheen connection here, in that Emilio Estevez was in the original Repo Man, and - very sensibly - refused to have anything to do with the horrible sequel (ditto Harry Dean Stanton, who I keep thinking is dead, but isn't...yet).

I'm just showing off, now. I'll go and hide in my cave, and keep muttering darkly about why directors who aren't up to the job shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the work of PKD...

LOL!!
Martin Sheen must be very pleased that at least one of his sons, Emilio (and keeping the original family name too!) has turned out fine.
Re directors and the wonderful work of PKD, don't you get the feeling that they haven't read the books and understood what they were all about? If they don't get it, they should be turned into Ganymedian slime moulds rather than be let loose to make a film of said books.

4tr I did warn you not to see Drive Angry before TAB. That film will ruin you for anything good.

"4tr"? Did you fall asleep on your keyboard again?

Look, the only problem I had with Drive Angry was the nudity. Loads of it. And none of it associated with Amber Heard. Grr...
