@ Someone Think of the Children

Dan Ackroyd
I've just never been able to stand him. How he got nominated for DRIVING MISS DAISY amazes me. He was baaaaaaaaaaaad in that.

@ Curly

I read an interview with Cronenberg about this. He was fairly upset at wasting a year on this. Apparently the hero was more of a nebbish accountant-type.

What about the Soderbergh project?
He wrote the songs for CLEO, though I understand Soderbergh and the screenwriter are re-working the lyrics.

I join the chorus of meh on this one. I was never that interested in Thor, anyway, but now that we're being supplied with what seems to be Hemmingsworth's charisma-free version, I'm even less interested. At least it looks like Hopkins was giving it a sincere shot.

It's a little known fact that D.W. Griffith was the bastard son of Daniel Plainview. Check the timeline. It works.

In space, no one can hear you CLASH

@ Tokomini

I think they should all watch it together as well as punishment. I wouldn't even KNOW about Fred if not for AV Club, and this site is still the only place I ever encounter him. I've never been sent a viral, never seen him on another site — nothing.

I liked Ainsley's character an awful lot, too, but I didn't much go for the closet bit. I can believe she was caught off guard in her robe, and rightfully so, but a person of her intelligence and education and poise isn't going to remain THAT flummoxed.

The bridge — that painting technique is trompe'le oil, which I think means "fools the eye."

@ 3rd prize

It will be in 3D, folks
It was already announced.

"its," not "it's." Ugh.

I loved the audacity of it and actually laughed aloud a couple of times when the movie cut back to the van.

But yeah — CITY LIGHTS, THE GOLD RUSH, and THE CIRCUS notwithstanding, I'm very much more of a Keaton man, myself.

Then you'll be happy to know an entirely alternate version of STEMBOAT BILL, JR. that they recently found was just realeased.

Oh — Joshua's moment where he calls down the rain was really awful, but I don't know how you deliver that as written and directed and possibly sell it. That's one of those other moments (like, again, driving the car up over the curb or having EVERY 21st Century character know all the words to Gilbert and Sullivan)…

Moira Kelley (or Kelly) is the woman's name. Awful awful acting.
