Yeah, this looks pilfered from so many other crappy sources and...gross.
And his 'unforgettable face' looks pretty drone-ish, to me.

The original film (which I admit, I haven't ever seen) at least had that sweet Ivan Albright painting! Actual art! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/49/The_Picture_of_Dorian_Gray-_Ivan_Albright.jpg

And now... it's not even a painting. Or it's a Hogwarts moving painting.
*sigh* Oscar Wilde gets beaten with the shit stick by Hollywood more than most, I must say.

On your black tarp couch and chairs?

Also, do I have to down vote myself, because this actually made me hungry?

Well... Ugh. This child is the anti-cute, for me. Manicured, boxy-banged bob... Who T shirt.... Girl guitar.... Check, check, and check. I just get the feeling like he's some hipster parents project. It smacks of preplanned adult-directed 'cute propaganda'.

Also this song's kind of dark for a baby voice to shakily sing through--which I realize was purposeful.
Eh.

"Hack Basement Deodorant" is something I would buy, actually.

Mein gott...

There is no denying the man knows how to paint a screen with lush vs. muted colors to a considerable scale. I just miss the days when he wrote his OWN screenplays. Beetlejuice/Edward/Nightmare. Or with Ed Wood and Frankenweinie, he channeled other cinematic/surrealist yet heart-felt zones and scooped a few things out of the collective conscious. Things that we'd long dismissed.


If you're going to remake Alice (or re-imagine, or tell a different collection of her stories), best to do it with out retrodding ground. It makes me sad, because I truly like him and his crazy story in Hollywood. Ah well.

One can' o chicken spine for m'lady.

That's my favorite part. The words, "Noq I'll just cut out his back" sound best said as casually as possible.

No no no no NO.

*hoo*
Ok. I can see why someone might like elements (ELEMENTS.) of "Rachel Getting Married", but in no way was it a quality film. Playing devil's advocate, for the few positives you might say, "Nice costumes, occasionally." "The film, overally, LOOKS very pretty. Nice lighting." "Anne Hathaway, way to stretch your acting limbs slightly, despite some maudlin circumstances and lines!"
That's about all I can think of that wasn't bone-crushing bad.
But (SPOILER?) a movie that proudly features a dishwasher loading contest does not a 'great' film make.
A horrible soundtrack featuring nerve wrackingly-subpar musicianship that continues AND CONTINUES to continue and never shuts up throughout said film isn't a positive. Not including the constant "RACHEL/SYDNEY" chanting that permeated and destroyed any goodwill momentum throughout.
I could go on and on, and I'm sure that is what Gabe will do.
It is, friends, a horrific movie masking itself as a good one. And it got nominated for an Oscar. Isn't that enough? Do we all need to settle?
I personally nominated "Rachel" and I'm sure there are others out there who also did. I refuse to be alone on this one!

So you can keep your precious, whiney "Rachel". I don't care how many verbal darts are hurled my way. IT'S ALREADY NOMINATED--BOOM!
