Two words, girls, and they may not be new to you: Eddie Redmayne. I noticed him for the first time in Savage Grace -- a horror of a movie, but he is so arrestingly beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off him and thank god he was on screen for most of that movie. Contrast that with The Other Boleyn More...

The only film I've been to see about horses was Equus and I DIDN'T go for the horses nudge, nudge, say no more!!!

bit confusin' the comma was missin'...sorry, you can be Terry as long as you want....

I made a point of NOT seeing Equus [again], but if ER starred in it, it's just shot to the top of list of must-sees.

I was too busy reading my last long convoluted sentence looking for a real thread of thought to worry about your comma Mary.

Most of my sentences are long and convoluted, but I was obsessing over the one which began "Minor character," at top o' page.

I saw the original Equus when I was but a child(!), as you say with ER in it, I would possibly return.

I was being much too literal with your Equus post, Mary. Confused it for a response to my post, and not an oblique reference back to Billy's equestrianism. Never mind....

CotSR...agree with all comments. Thanx Terry for the info on the real GH. A MUCH better film could have been made with that material and a better star.

Billy, I saw those 2 trailers and the thought occurred to me...2 trailers...one about adult children dealing with an aged parent (The Savages)and the other about an adult man (the delectable CF) dealing with a dying parent (When did you last see your Father). IS SOMEONE TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING?????

yes Mary...Live life to the full before you end up wearing nappies and dentures...really appreciate Minties while you can...AND KEEP DOING THOSE PELVIC FLOOR exercises...

I'm so hopeless remembering film titles, but one trailer did make me chortle - one with Robert Downey Jr as a black guy More...

Saw Bonneville. Jessica Lange, Cathy Bates, and Joan Allen on a road trip. Not the greatest writing, but you won't care. Worth the rental fee to watch those three playing a trio of Mormons who've known each other all their lives, at various stages of life cycles (hubbies' deaths, grieving, moving More...

P.S. Billy, is it absolutely necessary to do the pelvic exercises alone?

Mary, what's "the real GH"?
25/Jul/08 3:23 AM

Terry. you gave a link to the story of the real George Hogg.....the basis, and I use the term lightly, of CotSR...

Pst Terry, no it's not...

ok ok I gave in..I saw Mama Mia. I'm not sure what scared me the most- the fact that I knew all the words or PB singing.

The movie reviews have been plastered with a picture of James McAvoy under the word 'Wanted'....despite NO intention of ever seeing the movie....I still say...oh yeah!!!!

Billy, Saw PB interviewed and he was more scared of his singing than you. Never done it professionally. He practiced by singing at the top of his lungs on the beach behind his house, and went into 1st rehersals thinking he'd gotten pretty okay. Said when the voice coaches and "real" singers quit laughing, he went home and practiced another 3 months.
29/Jul/08 9:12 AM

But tell the truth. Do we really care if PB can sing?

Mary, Here's what NY Times said of Wanted: "Things happen in “Wanted,” but no one cares. You could call that nihilism, but even nihilism requires commitment of a kind and this, by contrast, is a movie built on indifference." Sounds as though you won't miss much other than looking at a beefed-up James McAvoy. On second thought....

Terry, I will cut out the picture and drool in private...
29/Jul/08 5:43 PM

Billy, be very afraid....it's been 11 days now and I'm STILL SINGING!!!!!The movie should have come with a health warning.

Hi all - all the people at work have seen Mumma Mia and absolutely raved about it - I chose to see the Dark Knight Heath is so edgy and manic he obviously had fun with the role. Poor Batman was unable to move his head - not a lot to work with Christian a goody just doesn't get the good lines!

I predict a posthumus Oscar for HL.

I watched Bridget Jones's Diary again last night... I know, I know... but it was on the TV! I love the last words of the film:

Bridget Jones: Wait a minute... nice boys don't kiss like that.
Mark Darcy: Oh, yes, they fu*king do.

Heart a flutter...

Perhaps we should gather up the best quotes from films and have a page or two of them?

Only problem with last line is that CF, as hot as he is, can't kiss from the looks of things. That is the most boring film kiss I've ever seen. Now to put on my thinking cap to remember some hot kisses.

Here's one: Last of the Mohicans during sex scene at the fort. Fully clothed, yet one of the hottest I've ever seen.

And another: First kiss in the Terminator. Sarah and what's-his-name, knowing he's gotta die, he's never been with a chick, he's been longing for her for years. Way hot.

BTW: another actor whose screen kisses leave me cold is Hugh Grant. Made me wonder about the Brits until LOTM (see post above). So here's a challenge: hot British kissers.

I've got one! Ben Chaplin with Sandra Bullock in Murder by Numbers.

(And since DDL and BC both born in London, hard to get more British!)

Wow, Terry, I have to hand it to you...after saying you have to put your thinking cap on, you promptly come up with 2 hot kissing scenes (have to take your word as I haven't seen either)...I'm here wracking my brains 10 mins later and still ??? Either my memory is going to pot (nah) or my standards are way higher.....

still thinking.....

Okay, Keira Knightley and Hans Matheson in the Doctor Zhivago remake. A beautiful film both the original and this one.

Another Keira Knightley with Matthew Macfadyen in Pride and Prejudice, such tension (read passion)...
