A little off-kilter

Mar 26, 2010 12:00

I am completely confused as to what day of the week it is--I keep thinking it's Monday, because my mother took off work yesterday, and usually if she's home on a weekday, it's a Friday holiday of some kind. So when everyone went to work today--clearly, it's Monday, right ( Read more... )

"Oh God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace!"

Favorite line, and she delivers it so well. ^___^

PLEASE GOD PLEASE KILL THIS "MY FAIR LADY" REMAKE. I can't imagine any universe in which I could like this thing -- I don't care what anyone says, I think the original is as close to perfection as a movie can get. And just the thought of Hugh Grant as Higgins gives me the dry heaves.

100% agreement, granted this is insofar as I don't actually care all that much about the subject (I like the movie, but it's not on my all-time favorite list), but really? This is a remake the world DOES NOT NEED. Please, just no.

hippydippymama March 26 2010, 17:52:24 UTC

Agreed on all accounts.

I'm kinda looking forward to it.

I saw Pygmalion a coupla years ago and after hearing that they were intending to put the original ending back into the film I can't wait to see how it turns out. The original idea is just so much stronger.

I don't know if that's the right direction for Summit to go in with Breaking Dawn. Wouldn't it be better if they tried to get a director who had a lot of experience with teen/romance films, rather than someone who has a very specific, artistic vision with regards to his/her work?

Someone who makes clever and funny teen films could possibly make the film rise above its source material.

Icon love!

I got early word that Waking Sleeping Beauty would be worthwhile and I'm glad I did. I got to see it last month at the Portland International Film Festival on Mike Russell's strong recommendation, and I'm happy to see it getting a wider release and wider attention.

It also reinforces my belief that there's enough material from Howard Ashman's life to warrant a biopic. I can picture Alan Tudyk as Ashman, unless he's sick of playing people who die.

I would pay good money for an Alan Tudyk as Howard Ashman biopic. Holy crap.

In completely unrelated must-share-this-with-cleolinda news, Writer (sort of) apologizes for Battlefield Earth.

SERIOUSLY. As someone who has been losing interest in animation because of the lack of this... I'm super pumped. Especially 'cause the wee dragon acts like a kitty. KITTY!

(The last animated film I took the time to see in theaters and actually wanted to see & enjoyed was kung fu panda. Seriously.)

KITTY! elbales March 27 2010, 02:45:05 UTC

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

bizarreoptimism March 27 2010, 04:16:38 UTC

I LOVE Kung Fu Panda. :D But anyway -- I'm just hoping that this proves to be the First Official Movie About Dragons That Doesn't Actively Suck. Because there is absolute no other ones going, and I love dragons. They deserve ONE decent movie!!
