dan craig is the new go to guy now.

She is much too pretty to ever play those kinds of roles. No one would believe it.

Wait, wasn't that movie out just a few years ago?

oy...

Poland is absolutely right. I would love to see the movie as described with the switched roles. That would freshen it up a great deal especially since Mostly Martha is not that great a film to begin with. They need to do something to jazz up that tired story.

It would also be an actual acting challenge for CZJ.

Sorry - didn't know where to post this.

2 things:
1. Your TIFF roundup with your list of top 20 was good, but one thing annoyed the shit outta me. You constantly mentioned the fact that "on second viewing" or whatever you liked a movie more or you got more out of it. Man, has anyone else said how annoying it is to hear critics say that? Cause it really is. At least you pointed to the flaw in your comments about Breakfast on Pluto!

2. What's everyone's reaction to the trailer for The Producers. It certainly made me smile and chuckle a few times! I can't wait! Uma looks great! And well done to Susan Stroman, who managed to get a spoken credit! Not many first-timers get THAT.

Not a fan of second viewing comments either. Not like 95% of the audience will ever pay to see a movie again let alone one they walked out of not liking.

Uma always looks great. The trailer was pretty darn good. It might be a huge movie. In terms of box office and awards.

Well that is what critics are supposed to do. See and resee movies to find out what they're really about. Tough to get that on a 1st viewing.

Oh and I fully understand that. I figure if they can see it twice, why the hell not? But I personally really dislike (hate even) being told by critics to see a movie twice. I mean, there's movies like Mulholland Drive or whatever that require a second viewing in order to fully grasp stuff, but I am a lowly underpaid student who sees more movies than your average person my age (20 in under a month), and does not have the money to go see any movie twice just so I can get a better grasp of the characters or notice the subtle differences.

It's all well and good for critics to go see movies multiple times but I (and I'm assuming most others) cannot. And when I'm being told that in order to fully "get" a movie I need to see it multiple times it makes me almost NOT want to see the movie because I know I'm just gonna need to hire it out 5 months later on DVD (which is cheaper).

er... but that's just my own personal thing.

But if I were a critic I'd be seeing movies 5 times if I wanted to.

But most people see a movie once and base their lifelong idea of that movie from that one viewing, whether it's at a cinema or on DVD. And it's good that David is at least saying he's seen it multiple times and had the chance to reach those opinions.
