I tried to watch Big Eyes last night. Load of shite. Turned it off after 20 minutes.

Amy Adams is too good for it.

Indeed!
It also gave me the realisation that Christoph Waltz can only play one character. His performances are completely interchangeable in anything I've seen him in.

Although, only having seen him in the two Tarantino movies it's possible Burton did not hesitate to let him just phone it in. How is he in the Polanski movie? My movie is on "same as in everything else", but maybe I'm wrong!

Watching it last night, I came to the same realisation. That Polanski film is very good but he's playing a variation on the same character. Maybe it's just the heavy accented delivery? I'd like to think he could more versatile in German speaking roles but I haven't seen him in any and he's got a taste for Hollywood now so it's unlikely we'll see him in one any time soon.

Should probably have mentioned I've seen Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing and The Fisher King.

To watch I have:
Time Bandits
THE Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Lost in Mancha
Tideland
The Zero Theorum

I saw Zero Theorem last year at the Jameson Film Festival, TG was there, and I'm a huge fan so his presence alone - as well as his gregarious personality - kind of made my night.

I thought the film was just awful though. Like a really old man's interpretation of youth culture and technology. It was so dated, it looked like a retro-futuristic movie that would have been made 20 years ago, when he really excelled. Its a pity, it just didn't work for me at all and in the end I fell asleep.

Avengers Age of Ultron review

 

[therealjohnny]

All this talk about who will be the next actor to play Wolverine. Has anyone wondered if the world really needs another wolverine movie?

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I'm too busy counting the Spider-Man reboots to worry about wolverine
