I just saw"the Illusionist" which was wonderful.  It's made by the same folks who made The Triplets of Belleville, (which is one of the most enchanting animated films ever made if you haven't yet seen it).  Both these film are the epitome of French enchanted melancholy I adore.

Oh, that looks good and Triplets was a wonderful film.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I really enjoyed Triplets.

I really really didn't like Illusionist. It bugged me a lot. Interested to hear what the rest of you think about it.

Maybe I've lost my sense of whimsy, or something. I loved Triplets.

that is a preview for the movie "source code".....

I think that was just an ad. The trailer had a trailer...or something.

In re: Inception

I just saw it and the Lovely Bones.    I enjoyed both.   I really wish Inception had a little bit more of the visual guts that Lovely Bones had.


I've been traveling for work.  The Casino I've been living in has a movie theater in it.   I saw these two movies there.

True Grit: Loved it.   Not sure when I haven't loved something the Cohen's have worked on.   The original John Wayne movie arrived at my house yesterday.   I'd like to compare The Dude and the Duke's performances.

The Fighter:  Heartbreaking.  I loved this as well.   I even liked Amy Adams in it.

Was it his relationship with the girl that bothered you?  I found there was a lot of tension there in regard to each of their expectations of the other that was interesting.

Anyone see Black Swan?

Superb film. An absolute ride seeing it in the cinema, builds perfectly throughout and you're constantly in thrall with the emotions of Portman's character, the symbiotic mesh of music, cinematography and head-fucked-up-ness is just brilliant. I love Swan Lake so that helps. I urge you to put your speakers on loud, turn the lights off and enjoy. It gets very intense at times and I'm a little bit loathe to put myself through it again but it's really fuck*ng good.

Also, Natalie Portman fiddles with herself and Mila Kunis goes to town on her crotch

EDIT: I see this has already been covered. Seriously the sex action is just a small but crucial part of a bigger thing.

Seems like just a couple of years ago the majority of opinion on this board was that Natalie Portman wasn't a very good actress.  I thought she was terrible in Star Wars, but I don't blame her for that.  I guess she's improved.  Mila Kunis is a fox.  I didn't know she was also in Black Swan.  I need to see this movie.

It's a poor workman that blames their tools, but Nat didn't have much to work with in Star Wars.  I think they all should have talked less, and more things should have gone "PEW PEW PEW" and "KEWRBLOOOM!"  (also: ZWOMP ZWOMP ZWOMP.)

There is only so much you can do as an actor when someone gives you terrible dialogue and tells you to deliver it to a ping pong ball on a blue wall with the caveat that the pingpong ball is eventually going to be a racist caricature lizard bunny, don't worry, we'll fix it in post.

I wonder how much of that is going to creep in to regular film making - there's such a difference from the films of the 30s and 40s, say, to the dramas of today, and I'm guessing that they'll be a gradual CGI creep just because you can do so much with it.

OMG, horrible flash back of an audition where I had to say the line "why do they call you Dr. Tongue." Eventually I just walked out of that audition.

This week I've seen A Place in the Sun.  Wow, what a fantastic film.  Elizabeth Taylor's first adult role.  And last night I saw For Whom the Bell Tolls.  Epic.  It seems like I saw a filmed version of this before, but it wasn't this.  What a fantastic movie.
