Is Sebastian Gutierrez really Carla G's "boyfriend"? 'Cause I don't remember reading that before, say, Rise: Blood Hunter.
CaptainZahn? Do you know?

BTW, Grindhouse reunion stunt casting -- well played. Marley Shelton rocks in Planet Terror.

ha, good call, db, sounds like brolin (or his accent coach) had 'reign of fire' on a loop in order to achieve the perfect 'bale'

That's a pretty good accent, especially considering that most American actors are lousy at that sort of thing. (There are notable exceptions, of course, like Keanu's brilliant turn in Dracula.)
Brolin had better cut it out. He's gonna make all the other actors jealous.
Oscar within five years.

'like Keanu's brilliant turn in Dracula'
fb, you so funny
(and let's face it, brolin is just dynamite wrapped in plastique; i happened to watch 'no country' again last night and i bow down in worship to him as llewelyn (sp?) moss - every time i see that flick i'm just ROOTING for moss to survive, damn those mexican assassins and the coen brothers all to hell)

Yes, he's her man, NDB.

Yeah, okay, CZ -- I guess the part of me that found "boyfriend" an unconvincing appellation was secretly hoping it was a bunch of publicist hooey.
But what publicist would script "spaghetti with the stepkids," really?
Ooh -- unless it's to help promote the family-friendly Witch Mt. flick!
Uh...
damn.

i meant, 'ha, good call, DP' in my comment above re: brolin's 'bale'
and notdavidb, the lovely carla is secretly saving herself for you, don't fret
Posted by: leahnz at March 9, 2009 06:01 PM
oh, and i forgot to damn cormac mccarthy for moss's demise as well - i assume he's primarily to blame although i've not read that particular mccarthy novel so i'm just guessing the coen's unbelievably sublime, darkly humourous screenplay followed the book in that respect.
'where'd you get that pistol?
'at the gettin' place.'
'you're a bit deaf, aren'tcha?'

MARLEY SHELTON is CHARMING and was HOT AS HELL in Grindhouse and Sugar and Spice.

somewhere in the world, notdavidbordwell has probably dropped dead from heart failure after watching carla in that

Re that Women in Trouble scene: ah, the old "stuck in the elevator" bit. Not every day you see that, unless you're watching TVLand. Love the actresses though.
