I loved Night Watch and was excited to see Bekmambetov's career progression. Sadly, that didn't last long.

Got it. So did Cassavetes, in his own way, which is probably why I misinterpreted you. His process with actors was as extreme as Gilliam's with visual style.

It's actually the 2nd remake of it too! The first was in 1907. I seriously forget how popular the book was for a long time. Like, basically the best selling book in the US from 1880 until 1936.

I love all of the people that are mad about Ben Hur being remade, seeing as the version they hold so dear is itself a remake, and was only made to use some of MGM's assets.

He was indeed. But he had that same style and was part of that same scene (this is one of the perfect places to get to use the word "ilk"). Music journalists have always been all Woody-Alleny like that about teenaged girls; presumably bitter about the fact that those who ain't in the band don't get the girls who're…

If a drug-addicted homeless woman was having to have sex with men to get temporary shelter (which does happen as Rebecca said), no one would think it was cool. No one would think she had a great life. They would see it as a sad thing and say she needs help getting off drugs and getting control of her life. But since…

Yeah, it's a chronic problem with that metric. It doesn't really take into account context, or severity.

The sad thing is I was shocked he actually apologized. Not that it excuses his behavior, but I've become so jaded that I didn't expect him to do that.

Why do ab pics get so much hate? If I had a six pack I'd want to show that shit off too.

Seriously, any dude that uses "libations" (or even worse "m'lady") who is not dressed in period-accurate reproduction clothing needs to be drawn and quartered. The Queen has so ordered.
