04/12/07 - Congrats to dots for snatching the real 200,000th post! Riding on her coattails, I guess we can spare some kudos to Jessie for the less real 200,000th post.

Who wants to go see it on Christmas Day with me?
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

I'm intrigued but not getting my hopes up.

Every time I see the cast I think DAMN what a cast and then I see Fergie.

I think that way about Kate Hudson too, then I remember that she actually does have some talent.

Fergie was good in Grindhouse, right?
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

Yeah, she was great walking down the street dressed like a whore.

That's what she plays in this too.  Gee- I hope she doesn't get typecast.

I pre-ordered the DVD so I got it yesterday.

Watched it tonight.

I can see why it bombed- not enough skin, explosions or loud noises.  What you do get is a lot of smoking (ick) and hot women being hot.  And Daniel Day-Lewis being a tortured artist. 

Fergie was surprisingly good, she didn't really have an "acting" part but she really does have decent singing chops and OMG BOOBIES. Wow.

Penelope Cruz, who I usually think is some stick insect with a really big noggin is curvy and hot and wow.

Marianne Cotillard is gorgeous.  So reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, but then they put her in a bustier and pasties and, um... wow.

Nicole Kidman.  Meh.  "Central casting?  Yeah- I need a tall statue that can walk.  Nicole Kidman's available?  Great.  Truck her on up."

Kate Hudson's part was really overplayed in the trailers, I'm guessing cuz she's cute and blonde and kicky and fringy.  Not bad though.

Judi Densch.  I just love her.  She cracks my shit up.

Sophia Loren is finally showing her age, but she's what?  157?  There's a scene where she dances with the young Guido, and then with the grown up Guido (DDL) that is exquisite.  It really brought tears to my eyes.  It could be because I'm an emotional shipwreck today for a hundred other reasons, but I did love that scene.

Anyway- the movie isn't destined to go down in history as the high point of anyone's career, but it's better than you'd think it was from the reviews and the box office.
