OMG, The Glades.  It's like Seedy lost fifty pounds, gained seven inches, a blonde dye job, and migrated to Souf Florda to be homicide police.

Clooney for the American?  I just don't see it.

I can't speak for the art-house faggot flicks, but The American was spectacular and a must-see for the atmosphere alone.

I really loved The American, and Clooney was great.

Wasn't overly impressed with the Men last year (Edgar Rameriz, in Carlos was my runner-up.)
Firth wasn't going to get #2 going full retard as HRH. :no:

Clooney got a default life time achievement HABSY for a great turn.

Another watch of "The Wild Geese". Always liked that movie. I think I'll reread some of Mike Hoare books.

See, I liked Firth.  Not only that, but I'm always vulnerable towards people playing monarchs and peers.  Clooney as yet another supercool international man of mystery doesn't do it for me, and I found the American to be deadly dull.  It just didn't move at all for me.

Finally saw again (for the first time in forever) Zardoz (1974).  It is almost the poster-child for self-indulgent but undisciplined film direction, and manages to get a boring performance from Sean Connery.  There are some very interesting ideas here, but the execution is laughably inept.

I was just talking about that film with some people a few days ago. It is a damn weird film. They could change Connery's costume to something decent and it would still be messed up.

Captain America. That was fun. I liked how they handwaved his original costume as propaganda stunt, and the animated war posters at the end.

"Hail Hydra" sounded a lot like "Hail Haider", though, which caused quite some snickering in the audience. :D

Apparently they fished one of the actors from Treme out of the river.
