Gah, I saw '28 weeks later' last night. It was just as stupid and pornographically violent as the first one. I felt slightly sick afterwards...
Bah. I thought the first one was very good, filled with intense human drama. The second one... I couldn't imagine it was going to live up to the first one and I skipped it.
pornographically violent? The first one wasn't violent enough, much tamer than I expected. I liked certain aspects of the first one, but not enough to want to see it again, or a sequal.
By pornographically violent I mean long drawn out torture-like scenes that fills the same purpose as the sex scenes in a porn movie. I don't know if it's age or what. But I've become much more sensitive to these things over the past years. Either that or the level of violence has increased.
don't remember many torture seens. Now Hostel on the other hand... I watched that movie on a date. She probably didn't find it cool I was squirming . Never covered my eyes, but I did close them once. What's the purpose of seeing that?
I saw a documentary on Howard Hawks today on the BBC (with a screening of To Have And Have Not afterwards ) so tomorrow I'm going to get out my DVD of The Big Sleep and be wondering for the umpteenth time what it is all about. One of the best movies ever.

ack, forgive my spelling above. sometimes I think of a word in my head and it comes out the way it sounds, not the way it is supposed to be spelled.
And I have found a case where a remake is better than the original. Cinemax played the original Man on Fire yesterday. Acting was horrible in that. Denzel version was much better. He's a great actor, though he is almost too good looking to play a troubled man. the guy in the original looked much more troubled. .
sean penn once said something about working out. He says he wants to look like the common man, not like a guy who spends 20 hours a day in a gym. In a way, it gives more believability to his parts. the problem with Denzel (though his acting makes up for being too good looking) and these pretty boy actors is they aren't believable in their roles.
They can't all have the level of dedication of actors like Christian Bale.
Christian Bale starved himself for over 4 months prior to filming [The Machinist], as his character needed to look drastically thin. Allegedly his eating consisted of one can of tuna and an apple each day (approximately 275 calories), although there are conflicting reports on this. According to the DVD commentary, he lost 62 pounds (28 kg), reducing his body weight to 120 pounds (54.4 kg). Bale wanted to go down to 100 pounds (45.3 kg) but the filmmakers would not let him due to health concerns. He later regained the weight, plus an additional 40 pounds (18 kg) due to weightlifting, in preparation for his role in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins.

Inland Empire: I'm still digesting that one. A three hour identity, reality slip.
If... just received my Criterion copy of it. It stars Malcolm McDowell. I can't wait to find a little spare time to sit down and watch that one. I hope it stands up to my memory. I haven't seen it in a long time.
My favorite Richard Burton performance was definitely his in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? That movie has some of the funniest dialogue. I'd like to see some more Albee on the silver screen.
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

you're too young for all that sex talk. . I usually watch a little bit when I'm flipping through the channels. Film holds up fairly well, even though the lead chars are despicable, there are some really funny scenes in this movie. Kind of turned me into a vince vaughn fan, so I watched the Break Up when it was on. Just a standard romantic comedy, but it had some funny moments. And Jenifer Aniston's naked ass..
