The Day the Earth Stood Still
... has been remade with Keanu Reeves as the alien guy, Jennifer Conelley as the chick, and John Cleese as Dr. Barnhardt. OMFG. I don't know whether to run, scream or cry. We watch the original all the time over here, because it's one of the few movies that we've managed to remember to Tivo. Jeebus. What sort of political statement are they going to try to make? The original was all about nukes. Are they sticking with nukes? Is it about the environment? They didn't want us to escape our planet with nukes and try anything on any other planets. If they do go with the environment this time why do aliens want to threaten us to change? Maybe they're just going with war in general?

Whoa! That looks really well done! I loved the original, too. :-)

Looking forward to December...

When I view this entry on my friend's page, I see porn. When I view this entry directly, I see the videos you intended. I've seen this happen a few times when you've posted embedded links. Any guesses why that happens?

that's totally bizarre. Maybe it has to do with something in your cache?

Even in still frames, Keanu Reeves has a rigid, alien quality about his body language.

I think they mean in general, not just in this movie.

Oh I don't know, he seems to do well enough in some of his lesser known movies. People always seem to complain that he plays these cardboard characters and has no talent, but if you look back through all the movies he's made there are plenty of good performances. There's one called The Gift where he plays a belligerent redneck.
