I thought he intended us to peep through a hole into a box… :)

I haven't read the books yet. Perhaps it's true that Rylance's sad puppy face makes Cromwell more sympathetic than he should. He did seem genuinely sorry Anne Boleyn was to be executed, though of course he did all he could to get to that…

Yeah… I'm not a big fan of Mystic River, but I love the ending with Marcia Gay Harden showing confusion and despair all over her face. That was the highlight for me, at least…

Hah! I'm still pissed at Tom McCarthy for his reaction to Jenny Beavan. I'm beginning to mistake him for his character in The Wire… :) Though I admit I did like Spotlight.

For some reason, Mystic River comes to my mind reading your comment…

That's true. Also, in Ruffalo's defence, that was the director's choice for that scene. He could have asked for less. Ruffalo is actually more of the reined-in school. And he should have got the Oscar for You Can Count On Me, imo.

I disagree. Both are men of few words, true, but I feel they're very distinct characters and he played them so. I never had the feeling of watching Thomas Cromwell in modern clothes in Bridge of Spies.

Like other people commenting, I see the point of the writer, but I don't share his opinion. 59 year old Mel Gibson would have made no sense as the Max in this story, and (I think) Mel Gibson the (former) star would never ever ever have allowed Furiosa to steal the movie from him. He would have demanded changes, lots…

Hah! Do you 'ship in alphabetical order?

Well, to be honest, you don't go to urban dictionary for its spelling accuracy or its etymological acumen, you go there to find out what the f*ck something means…

You could also check the Urban Dictionary site. That's what I do when I get confused by kids' Nadsat

Some remakes are rather good, like Let Me In for instance, but turning all the great foreign movies into Hollywood movies doesn't precisely contribute to diversity. And I so not buy the argument that the remake attracts attention to the original.

If you really have something new to say, you could write a whole new script.

Oh. I always heard "No more three steps to heaven". Eddie Cochran etc.

Yeah! It's like a 2 minute movie, so evocative. Some Bowie songs are really abstract or sketchy, whereas others are very narrative, and suggest lots of stories.

I noticed that bit about the noise outside (children playing?) and the sunshine both the first time I saw it and tonight when I saw it again. I'm sure it's a most common reaction, that sense of annoyance at life going on undisturbed, even more poignant because I'm sure one day I will experience it from the inside, as…

True, though he unlike most others really had the goods…

I screwed my voice trying to get that SCREAM right while singing it…

I suspect Warhol thought the universe wasn't big enough for the two of them. Personally, I'd stick to a Bowie universe. His work makes me happier.

Sons of the Silent Age! Actually, any song of Heroes but Heroes for me. It's gonna take me ten years or so without listening to it to go back to enjoying it.
