Kevin's Watch

I happened to catch this in yesterday's newspaper:

I have seen the previews for the movie, it looks good. kind of like that Kim Basinger/Russell Crowe movie set in Hollywood... the name escapes me now.

L.A. Confidential?

yes! thank you. it looks good in that way. don't know their conclusion as to Reeves death as there is much question about it.

Yes, I wonder how provocative they're going to be.

Other than that, just seeing Ben Affleck in the Superman costume will be kinda weird (if, that is, they decide to show him in it at all).

they did show him in the preview. on a set i believe.

Lane is a great actress and absolutely gorgeous.

I still have the issue of Time magazine from way back in the '70s that profiled a couple of young actresses....Her and Brooke Shields are the only two I remember at the moment. She was hot then, she's hotter with age.

Wow! I agree. I always thought Diane Lane was a very attractive woman. And look at her as the young little hottie! Wow ... (dang, feel like a dirty ol man... )

I also find Rene Russo as a very attractive 'older' woman.
Oh, and Michelle Yo, and Jessica Lang ...

I don't feel dirty...She's always been 3 years older than I am.

Harry visits HOLLYWOODLAND, it wasn't a very happy place, but it sure was worth the visit.

With someone like GEORGE REEVES – MARILYN MONROE… it’s a far better thing to look at conspiracy and hold on to the maybes and whatifs. It’s simply more comforting to believe in murder than suicide. That life was taken from us, rather than believing they choose that path. There’s a lot of theories as to what happened to George Reeves all those years ago, and in HOLLYWOODLAND, Adrien Brody’s character is going to crack each of them open for a perusal. Take them out for a drive. Kick their tires. Get excited about them. Get some people pissed and then we’re going to leave the theater with no more answers than we went in with. What you believe, will be what you believe.

... [This movie] makes us understand that George Reeves – while forever a Superman to all of us, was… after all… just a man, a man with faults and problems, a man of charm and wit and crushed dreams. That George Reeves was a lot more complicated than anyone watching his television show could have ever imagined.

... It’s a wonderful film filled with great performances by not just Affleck and Brody, but a stunning performance from Diane Lane, a solid piece of work from Bob Hoskins and a sexy turn by Robin Tunney. It has moments of wonderful nostalgia, but more importantly – it presents a complex well rounded portrayal of a man that many saw as a comic book. The film is a bitter pill, a sad story – but it’s one well worth watching and enjoying. Not all movies need to make you happy, sometimes they can make you contemplate the inherent sadness to the world.

I can't wait to see this movie! I always thought Affleck should play a superhero!

Didn't you see Daredevil?

Yes I did, and I'm still waiting for him to play a superhero.
