Yes, you are, but not for anything you say in this entry.

I'm still not sure about the film, but that cast is quite nearly enough to get me into the theater, yes.... :)

I knew about Irons, Neeson and Sidding. Had no idea about Thewlis....ooooooh. Yet another reason to go watch it.

Good movie, but by paying Matinee prices you are starving the elite cream of Holywood society. How do you cope with the pangs of guilt that must be wracking your mind by now? ( I use prozac)

I KNOW I AM SO NOT COMFORTABLE BEING HOT FOR ORLANDO BLOOM.

And fucking Ed Norton as the king! WHO WOULD PUT ED NORTON IN A PERIOD FILM? WHO WOULD KNOW HE WOULD DO SUCH A DAMN FINE JOB?

I want to lick that movie, for all its dumbness. I just, mmm.

you and me both, sister.

I have a feeling that the two hours of Ridley Scott's cut they trimmed from the flick contained significant portions of the chickadee being vaguely interesting. Or not; what do I know.

Honestly, what bugged me about the movie? Was not that Bloom, somewhere during his blacksmithing apprenticeship, learned advanced battle tactics and irrigation and etc.? It's that he could read and write. I can grant him farming and fighting as spontaneous manifestations of heroship, but not book learnin'.

But honestly, I only thought of this complaint much later, as the movie rendered me into a fuzzily contented goo.

Says something about his ability as an actor that he can wear a mask for his entire 30 minutes of screen time and still create more emotional attachment to him, than Bloom could as Balian.

DAVID THEWLIS?????

I'm fucking sold. There's no way I'm missing Jeremy Irons AND David Thewlis. They make Liam Neeson look like a bonus prize!

Why?

Because it's got Orlando in it! He's sooooo dreamy and soooo much more important than those old guys. Eww XP

Not really. I swoon for Jeremy. That lineup could only be better if Alan Rickman were there.

Ha! I thought I'd be one of the only people on earth who would cite Alexander Siddig as motivation for seeing Kingdom of Heaven.

Even more reason for me to get around to watching MI-5... Mmmm...

:: DYING to see it! :: Hot scruffy sweaty old men with sessy voices!!! ::gurgles::

Although a straight male, I still considered the cast worth seeing the movie!
and then, oh dear, the movie. I have not loved a movie like this in forever
::just saw it tonight::

I always thought that Liam Neeson would make a great, beat-up, one-armed Captain Hook.

(I'm just sayin'.)

Wow, I had no idea it had all these delicious men with battle scars and whatnot. Throw in Edward Norton and Orlando Bloom as sort of dessert, and I'm sold.

Wow. You know how to convince me, man. I dig me some old-battered-guy ass.

Ahem: ha HA!

You mean "dented older people" capable of swinging a broadsword twelve hours straight don't you? Not to mention swimming across the river Jordan while still in full chain mail armour. It's a good thing males are incapable of any jealousy towards their comrades, whatever ther feats or whatever their station in life might be. I had some trouble writing this with a straight face.

Why yes, I think I might agree on all counts. Several of the oldish gentlemen really did pull their own against the younger cast members well, and I was blown away by the actual depth of Blooms character, not saying he was the Marianna Trench, but, hey, definitly not going to complain.
