A couple of funky little things occured to me in recent days... neither is spoiler material, but it made me think that we should have a place to discuss all these films.
First, I finally saw Hellboy 2 trailer on DVD instead of Quicktime and the difference is of note, considering how visually dark the footage is. Much better on a bigger screen. Also, Del Toro offers an homage to John Landis in the trailer footage. Have you noticed?
Second, watching Sweeney Todd, which finally arrived on DVD (it's been landing all over town and beyond since last Friday), I was reminded that one of Depp's last beats in the film the film - which I will not mention in any detail here - but which you can in comments, where SPOILERS will be the order of the day - shares an idea with a Daniel Day Lewis moment in Gangs of New York... more so in the earlier cut. And now, they are duking it out for awards.
If you haven't caught it - THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS SECTION IS FOR SPOILERS!!!
Since it's not just one movie, please NAME THE FILM at the top of your comment, skip a line, and then start commenting. I know it's a hassle, but others will appreciate it.
So...
