Hello, Nathaniel.
I know this post is about another topic but I just read today your Sunday post about Annie Lennox and Uma Thurman dancing together in Norway and I have enjoyed it so much that I really need to share my feelings…
I have always loved Uma Thurman, she is an incredibly special actress to me because she embodies the beginning of my own film experience.
I love Uma’s face due to the complexity and unconventionality of its structure but my fascination for her is not merely physical, I actually believe in her potential as an actress and I widely enjoy the varied dimensions of her colossal (but underrated) talent when it is displayed in the right material.
Of course, I don’t think she’s perfect (her career has flows… God, I know that!) but most of the time I find her very interesting… actually far more interesting than most of nowadays overrated actresses.
Thanks for that post, Nathaniel… I really enjoyed it.
If I ever danced with UMA I would request “Nasty Girl” for soundtrack accompaniment (not for the lyrics, just because it is a funny song and because I am as bad dancer as Steve Carell in “Dan in Real Life”).
I'm sure the fanboys are psyched but that wolverine trailer bored me and I don't think that's the effect they were hoping for. (I had a good chuckle at the "wars over the centuries" bit Fashions, uniforms, weapons and tactics may change, but the sideburns are forever *lol*)
then again given the hot mess that is "Australia", the 20th C. Fox logo doesn't hold a lot of currency right now (at least with me.) Perhaps they should consider joining the 21st century, rather than making do with the last century's leftovers?
Yes, the trailer is a bit dodgy, to be honest. Especially the last bit where you see him leaping off a motorbike onto the helicopter in slow motion. I really don 't get the obsession with that technique that's always used now in hollywood films. Its just unrealistic and actually takes the audience out of the fil.
hey! great to finally see on-screen that helicopter blowing up! I was on-site they day before they did it! I'm sooo going ot enjoy this movie, and not just for Hugh, but trying to identify parts of the New Zealand landscape posing as British Columbia! ;o)

I have to agree. Ewwwwww, X-Blandfolk.
Jackman continues to sorely unimpress in the THIS IS SRS BIZNESS department.
Going by that trailer, Schreiber looks like he's going to be the only remotely tolerable thing about the finished film and given what his character is, that still won't be nearly enough - this manufactured shit is so beneath him but he gots to get paid, I suppose.
I'm incredibly happy to say that "Gran Torino" is terrible ;)
Is it every bit the Clint's campy scowlfest its trailer promises, replete with select Asians who have a long way to go at this acting thing?
Last Samurai '08? Since that movie was terrible whitebread-grows-to-love-squinteyed cack.
I wasn't sure if you saw this yet or not considering your feelings on Slumdog Millionaire, but I thought it was really funny.

If the new Wolverine movie involves a scene where a cat licks milk off the end of one of his claws, I'm leaving the theater and setting fire to it.
