Text of the page (random words):
kavalier and clay for a couple of years now i ve got four of the five main roles locked in my mind the one character i keep revising however is that of tracy bacon the hunky hulking paramour of one of the main protagonists sam clay the character is hard to cast simply because it requires an actor who is both an impressive physical specimen and a completely charming softy romantic you try thinking of an actor who fits both descriptions it s a lot harder than you d think as you will see in that post i linked to earlier i originally came up with kellan lutz who fit the role physically but this was before i realize the dude can t act for shit shameless manwhore yes thespian not so much someone else recommended chris pine and i immediately fell in love with that suggestion okay so chris doesn t exactly have a towering presence but he s built enough and this was summer of 2009 so i was riding on a wave of star trek love pine has been my tracy bacon for two years now but it was while flipping through kavalier and clay again awhile ago when i realized that after last year we now have the perfect actor to play tracy bacon armie hammer i mean think about it he s got the tall and hulking part down there s a reason ja at my new plaid pants refers to him as six foot five aryan god armie hammer he is perfectly charming and adorable and most importantly he can act plus we all know how much he loves mackin on dudes after being cast in the new j edgar hoover movie and the tracy bacon role requires a bit of that so to sum everything up armie hammer is perfect for this role and someone needs to write a miniseries treatment of this book i will not stand for 600 pages of beautiful prose being condensed down into 120 minutes will not just think of all the emmy s this shit would win just by default come on hbo get the ball rolling on this one and while you re at it make sure you cast armie hammer in a role he was born to play posted by dame james at 2 19 pm 1 comment labels amazing adventures of kavalier and clay armie hammer monday july 25 2011 crazy 80 s project aliens i m surprised that more people haven t drawn parallels between aliens and director james cameron s most recent blockbuster avatar besides obvious borrowed set pieces the robotic machine both ripley and the mad general in avatar use for very different reasons the two films share a common theme albeit one that is filtered through different eras and ideologies avatar is a product of the obama era worthington and weaver encounter aliens and learn to get along with them so they can co exist as one while corporate blowhards are trying to exploit the aliens and their environment s resources for profit aliens on the other hand is a byproduct of the reagan bush sr era find yourself encountered by a strange race obliterate them but oh don t forget to try to exploit the aliens for profit i guess some things never change whatever you think of those ideologies aliens is still a kick ass film it s one of the few action films i can think of that has the ability to scare you shitless without becoming a full blown horror film aliens also has a great sense of environment namely the ability to draw you into its abandoned space station so that you feel like you re with ripley and the gang every terrifying step of the way michael biehn is surprisingly sexy while glamazon sigourney weaver steals the whole damn movie as lt badass ripley she s quite possibly the smartest and ballsiest female action hero the genre has ever seen and puts many of our lame action heroes today to shame if only ryan reynolds was half the man signourey weaver is in aliens a posted by dame james at 10 40 pm 1 comment labels crazy 80 s project james cameron le cinema sigourney weaver saturday july 23 2011 short rants on last year at marienbad last year at marienbad was exactly the sort of pretentious high intellect art film i expected alain resnais earlier hiroshima mon amour to be but was not the film has some gorgeous photography a bombastic organ score that almost makes inception s look puny in comparison and at least one thrilling sequence that makes its 90 minute runtime much easier to sit through all that aside marienbad is basically a film about nothing even moreso than seinfeld was a show about nothing a man meets a woman at a hotel tells her they met last year in marienbad or frederiksbad although it doesn t really matter and that they had made plans to run off together a year later the woman spends the next 90 minutes deciding whether or not she had in fact met this man as he tells her about scattered memories of the two of them from their time together by the end of the film it doesn t even matter whether or not they had met as the woman must now decide whether or not she will leave her husband and run off with this man this renders the entire film before it pointless although many high and mighty critics may argue that it was never really the point of the film a good point as there are a high number of excellent films that reveal much more than a threadbare plot suggests but as critic pauline kael suggests in her amazing essay the come dressed as the sick soul of europe parties it is one thing to cut out the unnecessary mechanical transitions of film as godard did in breathless but resnais cuts away something that is basic to drama our caring about the characters and what they do who ultimately cares if these people had met in marienbad or frederiksbad or wherever else and who ultimately cares if they do run off together the man and the woman are meant to be universal characters but that doesn t mean they have to be so universally one note and dull this is the fate resnais worked so diligently to escape with hiroshima simply because you cared what happened to emmanuelle riva s character over the course of the film in the end marienbad with its haunting score and searing camera movements ultimately becomes an experiment in film technique or a failed attempt at representing free flowing memories in film form perhaps either way it doesn t really matter c posted by dame james at 5 28 pm no comments labels film rants le cinema vive la france

be siphoned off into one of three types of films intense emotional historical drama sugary sweet schmaltz and eager to please blockbuster the first type gave us schindler s list and the color purple so i can t complain too much the second gave us e t and yeah enough said about that shitty film the third has the most variance as jaws and jurassic park are lumped in with war of the worlds and minority report raiders of the lost ark the first entry in his indiana jones series thankfully avoids landing in the schmaltz category unfortunately it s neither as thrilling or jubilant as the best of spielberg s blockbusters for the most part raiders of the lost ark just kinda sits there like a dried out lump of clay moving from point a to point b with great efficiency but little passion there s nothing outlandishly bad about the film i just can t find anything to get excited about in the exotic locals nice if a bit too on the nose action sequences cartoonish bad guys and hilariously awkward attempts at making karen allen s character a woman who can defend herself raiders may be supreme popcorn entertainment for some but i ll stick with jaws thank you very much c posted by dame

barrymores to the hustons talent has been passed down in these families for multiple generations in some cases and yes i refuse to call the roberts an acting dynasty because emma roberts is a grotty little harpy desperately clinging to her aunt s fame to land roles in films that should go to young actresses with actual talent the tradition continues to this day emma roberts excluded with a special little niche emerging the hot son of a male acting legend let s investigate this further with some examples ethan peck grandson of gregory peck i discovered ethan peck a couple of summers ago while he was on the abc family show 10 things i hate about you to this day i ve never seen an episode but i still find ethan to be hella attractive just like his grandfather back in the day henry hopper son of dennis hopper i never thought dennis hopper was attractive until i saw giant a couple years ago and discovered that the shaggy haired guy from easy rider was once a very good looking fellow his son henry soon to be seen in gus van sant s answer to the quirky indie comedy restless certainly cleans up nicely bonus points he plays an emotionally damaged boy in restless we all know how i love those max irons son of jeremy irons while i was obsessing about brideshead revisited and vis á vis jeremy irons i discovered that he had a son who was smoking hot max doesn t quite have the infamous jeremy irons voice but it s more than pleasant in it s own right and i would certainly go weak in the knees if he talked to me he was recently in that red riding hood movie that looked exactly twilight but not i ll certainly be checking it out sometime soon because i m superficial like that scott eastwood son of clint eastwood i wasn t even aware clint eastwood had a song until glenn pointed him out the other night immediately alerting me to his hotness that s what friends are for people scott looks exactly like his father back in the early part of his career if a tad bit stockier does this mean he ll become a director soon and we ll be getting a strange mixture of westerns and oscar prestige pictures from him for the next fifty years patrick schwarzenegger son of arnold schwarzenegger okay so he s not technically an actor i e at all but he s hot so i had to include him the best thing about the schwarzenegger divorce is the fact that we get to see so many pics

until stinkylulu mentioned hollywood shuffle a film i had seen clips from years ago on some race in film documentary but had forgotten about since that i realized i had to make room for it the film
