Anyone seen Stardust?

[Queen Firey-Bou]

i only wanted to see it so i could annoy everyone picking out & naming all the locations locally and then moaning about how the whole film entourage never employed anyone locally or had any effect in the area except mysterious little signs on the road for a few months.

upon seeing it, i found even more to moan & rant about, the lack of continuity with scenes & seasons.. " why thats the coulin pass in march & now theyre 100 miles away at dunvegan in october, oo and back to march, theres the snow, now its gone etc "

i was most amazed that they didnt bother CGI-ing out houses, industrial barges & yes, a fish farm in the distance, i guess most people were looking at the mountains, of pfiefferfferfs saggy tits tho.

what i wasnt expecting was to actually enjoy the film at all, which i did. and so did the kids, which is kindo the point isn't it ?

Nicole Kidman ruins everything she is in, because as soon as you see her, its yet another film to enhance HER career and nothing more. (According to her).

I*'m with that group of public than generally despises her, maybe, but she evokes such when, everything she touches, turns to stomm.


Phew. I think I just exorcised a demon.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Just look at her botox head she has no expressions!

[satchmo]

While I don't blame her entirely, the Nicole Kidman film The Invasion perfectly sums up everything I can't stand about soulless Hollywood "content".
Ok,I do blame her :)

I've finally seen this - got in this morning with a £1.50 per child Kids Club - less than £8 including sweets and coke!

I loved it. I haven't read the book yet, but I got it for Christmas (my wife always buys me a Neil Gaiman book).

Cheers,

Wake

I haven't seen it but I dislike the idea. Especially as the 70s version was such a great film. And it really isn't that dated when you watch it... it still works.

[ThryllSeekyr]

I wanted to se thsi film because of the flying ships.

Did use anything like weird stone.

[the shutdown man]

I don't think they entreily explained how the flying ships worked (although I could be wrong there)

[ThryllSeekyr]

After watchung the trailer again. They look abit like airships.

Unforntunitly, it's no longer playing. I guess I will wait for it to come out on Box Office.

Oh come on. There were three previous versions of this story made in Hollywood and they all rocked. They'd already beat the odds, not suprising fourth wasn't the charm.

[ThryllSeekyr]

I just saw this on Box Office and as it began... I rather liked it. There's some very atmosphereic location photgraphy set in around England and Wales.

Though, once the story started moviing along. I didn't like the way one scene progressed to the next in a very usual fashion. Too linear.

Somes parts of the movie had it's charm. Michelle Phieffer's goat drawn mini chariot. Though I believe with her advancing years in real life that the rejuvenation process in the film was there to remind us that she's still attractive.

The female lead, ( Forget her name.) looking  strikening attractive with her long yellow locks, sclupted face. Funny, as I found her to be reasonably hot looking in 'Romero And Juliet' and then grew less and less interested in her appearance as years progressed.

I thought her mother was hot looking. The lady in blue and when she made a reappearance towards the end of the film looking just as young despite what must have been her advanced years.

Whats his face, ( I forget his name also, though he's well known.)the Pirate captain of flying vessel. Nice touch, but I still prefer 'Pirates of the Carribean.' The flying vessel, good, but there was something lacking about it. Somebody on this messageboard earlier said this was very HOKEY. Yeah, I sort of agree there.

This would have been few scenes here when I might have gotten my 'Slaine, Sky Chariots of Fire' fix.

Apparently not......


The rest of the film was so.. so. abit boring.

Though I liked how the last brother was dispatched by the witch toward the ending. A watery grave. Sort of like the bit from the Matrix when Morpheus asks Neo 'Do you think that's air you're breathing now?'

The green flashs of light, and that Inn or Tavern that poppped out of nowhere.

Not good at all.

Then again, it's there for the children.

Is there really??
I think you'll find it's actually in Northern Scotland and the Isle of Skye.

[ThryllSeekyr]

According IMDB.COM England predominiates on the list.

Wales is mentioned.

As well Isle of Skye.

As well as alot of the Northern places that must be Scotland.

So, I would say that we'll both right there.

What I should have said was 'parts of the english country side' as England is too broad a term.

[Noisybast]

I think the term you're grasping for is "British".
England and Scotland are different countries.

Think of it as a bit like Australia and New Zealand.
They're both in roughly the same part of the world, but it might get irritating if someone kept calling you a kiwi.
