Movies I haven't seen

[Emily]

whatever you see, don't see Atonement. biggest load of crap ever.

My friend who manages one of the art theatres in my town was telling me how 'Atonement' is inexplicably smashing all of the box office records there. We were baffled, just thinking of all the movies, why 'Atonement'?

[Emily]

I have no idea why.  It was crowded when I went too (& on a week night), I actually would have left about 1/2 way through because I was so bored, but I wasn't sitting with my friend (no two seats together) so I just stayed till the end.

I would never see Atonement. I don't understand why the foreign press has a hard on for Keira Knightley. She's wooden and acts with her rather prominent jaw. Some -- okay, I -- would say she has a lantern jaw and also a lamprey mouth.

My mom saw Atonement and thought she stunk. She also said she gets has a little boy's figure and is as flat as a board. We are catty bitches.

[Emily]

well, i went b/c i felt like seeing a romance, and i really liked her in Pride & Prejudice, but her acting was flat in this one. oh well.

[Laurie]

I haven't seen Pride and Prejudice, but I have seen all three Pirates of the Caribbean. In theory, Johnny Depp could have chemistry with a plank of wood, which is great since Keira has the body and gravitas of a plank of wood. It didn't work out so well in practice.

[Martin]

They* don't call her Ikea Knightley for nothing!

That nest of endtables comparison was priceless, nay?

Ha. i forgot she was in Pirates.

Sounds like somebody's jealous...

I watched Night of the Hunter last night and it was so good.  So, so good.

Yes! Still waiting for the Ultimate DVD containing the new print and all those mouth-watering extras that was paraded around film festivals a few years ago.

I finally got around to watching Two Lane Blacktop last night since I finally got it from Netflix. I liked a lot but the pedophilia was kind of weird. Or was she supposed to be 18? It was still kind of creepy that it wasn't ever even noted how much younger she looked. Then again, not many things were mentioned and that's part of the charm. It seems like I've seen a lot of highly acclaimed movies dealing with underage realtionships...

I'm watching "Wild at Heart," one of the Lynch ones I haven't seen.  So far, it's regular mid-period Lynch, which is to say insane but not insanely insane.

Have you got to the "chipmunk voice" scene yet?
