Re: Highlander (2010)

What can I say? I really, REALLY like Mulcahy's directorial style, which was on display in spades in Highlander II. Plus, that first quickening sequence, where Connor regains his immortality, has...

Re: Stage plays (ref. Wicked).

Arrggh! My ISP had a massive failure and everything got dumped, including those photos. And I didn't have any local copies saved. AND I'm just now finding out. Ugh.

I think I may've mentioned...

Re: Highlander (2010)

Oh, I agree. And you see what sort of crap is slung in Blade II's direction. Donnie's agent during that time must've wanted to shoot himself several times over, not to mention Donnie himself. ...

Re: Highlander (2010)

I always wonder about this desire to take a successful, established single film or franchise and make it "different". Different how? As I indicated previously, Highlander (the first film, anyway)...

Re: Highlander (2010)

Supermallet isn't the only one who think the Kurgan is an outstanding villain and the film as a whole is well crafted, especially the clever and ingenious transitions. Any reboot will be the...

Re: Spartacus' Andy Whitfield Dies of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at 39

I echo TallGuyMe's sentiment. Andy Whitfield, along with just about every other member of the Spartacus cast, looked to be in their prime - a picture of perfection of the human physique. To have...

Re: Stage plays (ref. Wicked).

While we're on the subject of Oz, has anyone seen the West End production of The Wizard of Oz? If so, how is it? Does anyone think it'll be staged in the U.S.?

Thanks!


Really?! That's awesome! Do you know how long she'll occupy the role? Do you think she'll still be in the show come May?

Re: Dragonslayer (1981) Appreciation Thread

Dragonslayer is effin' awesome. The puppetry work alone is an absolute marvel. You really get the sense that Vermithrax could've been a real monster, not just a myth. It's also the best rendition...

Re: Live action Star Blazers/Space Cruiser Yamato!

Arggh, alright, alright. This did come out in December of last year. At what point are spoilers no longer necessary?



It doesn't make much sense, though. At least with a mechanical device of...

Re: Live action Star Blazers/Space Cruiser Yamato!

Traxan basically nailed it, although I believe it's hinted that Okita dies from radiation poisoning (which could very well be cancer).

A frustratingly darkly lit and "mechanical" movie.

Regarding the postulation that the second act songs are weaker than the first - I'm not entirely sure about that. I listened to the cast recording a few days ago and paid particular attention to the...

Draven, you were >in< Chess, as in a member of the cast or production team?

Tim Rice has admitted that they've never really ironed-out all the bugs in the execution of the stage play. The music...

Re: Stage plays (ref. Wicked).

There's also a TV mini-series (supposedly) in the works. I would imagine this would be based off of the novel instead of the musical, as it wouldn't make much sense to adapt a 2-hour stage play into...

Re: Stage plays (ref. Wicked).

Giles, that Laputa poster came out of an old old old issue of Animage (I also have a similar one for Honneamise that's also framed). Personally, and this might be somewhat controversial, but I don't...

Giles, yes, the dragon was present and fully articulated (I believe the book refers to it as the Clock of the Time Dragon). It even billowed smoke. And you're right, it looked hellaciously complex...

Stage plays (ref. Wicked).

Hmmm. No subforum for stage plays. This might get me into trouble (there is a film version in the works)....

Well, the setting was many years after Diana traveled beyond Themyscira (with or without Steve Trevor), hence the rich corporation, ties with local law enforcement, past romance with Trevor, rivalry...

I saw that L.A. Confidential pilot, as I have the disc. Definitely bad, but more in a ragingly mediocre sort of way. I recall the set design being bare bones and no one seemed to have a clue as to...
