Am I alone in wondering why on earth Gemma Arterton keeps getting offered such great roles?

Yes, the rest of us know that it's because she is hot.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

*googles Gemma Arterton*

 

Hmm... looks like some sort of frozen brunette concentrate.

 

*thinks*

 

Perhaps you could use her to make some kind of awesome nookie napalm? Mix her up with Christina Hendricks and some polystyrene packing.

I think the whole really.. St.Trinians remake helped push her to the general consciousness..

 

:o The guilty pleasure type of thing.

Yeah, unlike Quantum of Solace, which nobody saw. :o

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Eh, how many of the Bond Girls who get 5 minutes of screen time do you honestly remember after the film ends? Sure, the main female ones who are there for most of the film get the big shove of publicity but the "brief moment of flirtyness, a roll in the sack, and then killed by the bad guys" rarely stick to memory or public awareness.

 

Compared to how many people (well, guys) who like the whole "naughty schoolgirl" approach of St.Trinians.. :o

The Scent Of A Woman.

 

Absolutely brilliant.

 

I have to say I quite liked it too. But it is a trashy movie, really. Sort of a male Thelma and Louise.

King's Speech. Good movie. I was probably the youngest member of the audience by far, and certainly the only one in my twenties (even if only for another 24 hours or so at the time it started) :)

You Sir, have insulted one of my childhood classics. Pistols at dawn!

 

P.S. My dawn not yours.

No problem. I shall stand in Cornwall, and you can stand in New England, and we will exchange pistol shots.

King's Speech is good, people should go see it.

 

The main plot is a pretty generic Platonic Buddies Overcome Life's Obstacles, but somehow in everything they did a very sympathetic yet uncompromising rendition of the royal setting came through well.

 

Also loved the Angry Dwarf Churchill.

Even Pacino admits it's cornball. Take it up with HIM, convict ...erm... boy.

If you spliced Al's final going-bolo-at-the-posh-school speech with Jack Nicholson's Nathan Jessup rant at the end of "A Few Good Men" then you might cause a sort of testosterone-fuelled tear in the spatial fabric of reality or something.

Hahaha. Is that so? In that case, I stand corrected.... but then again he was blind in that movie, so he's hardly the best judge on the matter.

Hahaha. I think Glengarry Glen Ross already did that, though.

Best video mashup idea EVER. Someone get on it.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil...

 

Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine as two happy go-lucky hillbillies on vacation at their "fixer-upper fishing cabin in the woods".. and the group of preppy college kids who mistake them for in-bred, chainsaw wielding killers. Every time the kids try to "defend" themselves from the oblivious hillbillies various accidents happen to kill one of the kids off in a bizarely cliche manner.

 

It actually manages to make that jokey premise last without dragging and while its a touch silly, it's never actually stupid.

 

It's one that I see becoming a cult classic. I'm definitely going to grab the dvd for my library when I can.
