What's on your (cinematic) mind?
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 4:56PM I was just thinking about Emma Stone because I spotted this great spoof sketch by Grant Gould of the Easy A poster through the Game of Thrones lens...
So fun! Which is coincidentally a word that doesn't fit Game of Thrones at all. It's too sober for fun. (Daenerys is just about my least favorite character in the Game of Thrones franchise because her story just never goes anywhere... Whatever, this post wasn't meant to be about GoT which I stopped watching a couple episodes ago, remembering how pissed the third book made me so why stick with it?)
SO..... what were you just thinking about movie-wise before you clicking over to the Film Experience?
P.S. More posts coming to wrap up our Smash coverage, Cannes new, "Best Shot" and more. The past two days have been a little trying.
Easy A, Emma Stone, Game of Thrones, TV, getting to know you

Going to check out "We Need to Talk About Kevin" on DVD this week! FINALLY!! :-)
I have just seen that pic of ScarJo as Janet Leigh!
Miss the movies . There's nothing open that I'd line to see. Not interested in The Avengers , Sacha Cohen trying to be edgy nor Depp/Burton same old same old. Can't wait for Prometheus.
In unrelated news Fassbender acknowledged dating Shame co-star Nicole Beharie. They would have such pretty babies.
Wait - what? Danaerys' arc was the best part of season one! Granted she's been kind of stuck in neutral in season two, but that's sort of the point - she's having to come to grips with how unrealistic most of her expectations are, and how poorly her sense of destiny and fate match up with the reality of her circumstances. And her adventures in Qarth have certainly not been uneventful, especially over the last couple of weeks. Plus, DRAGONS!!! I rest my case!
Just got back from the local press screening of 'Moonrise Kingdom' and am so happy to be accredited to have that happen.
Jane Fonda strutting the red carpet for the Moonrise Kingdom premiere in a body hugging Versace... at 74.
cannes is in my mind excited for Post Tenebra Lux, Moonrise Kingdom, Amour, Rust and Bone, Leo Carax return after 13 years and Lawrence Anyways looks really interesting it could be a stunner....oh also Christian Mungiu's Beyond the hills, Im betting that Rust and Bone or Post Tenebra LUx take the Palm D'or
1. I just saw A Nos Amours, which I thought was a solid French drama from the 80s. Sandrine Bonnaire is pretty frickin' great.
2. I was all excited to see a Game of Thrones reference here, then it turned out to be a dig (oh Nathaniel, cruel dasher of hopes).. I have to admit that I find it far more fun than you (the scenes between Maisie Williams and Charles Dance are wittily crafted/written and beautifully performed). Right now, it's sorta hands down the best show on television for me - give or take a Breaking Bad.
3. Terrified that Cannes will be a disappointment. I really want to love a lot of these movies and not being able to see them for months/a year/two years etc... not good.
4. I nearly ordered the UK blu-ray of Weekend. I was so sick of waiting for the DVD release, so news of it coming out via Criterion was very very welcome.
Saw the Won't Back Down trailer and have to say that as much as I'd love it, I can't see Viola getting nominated for it. Maggie, I could.
There's a new horror movie coming out in limited release this Friday that I kind of want to go into NYC to see. It's called Beyond the Black Rainbow and it looks absolutely insane. It's Cube crossed with A Clockwork Orange and Videodrome. I just don't think I can justify a trip into NYC to go to that hole in the wall theater without an NYPL visit but I have no reason to go to the Performing Arts Library this week. I'm all torn.
Oddly enough, for some reason Raintree County was on my mind. Maybe it was the pairing of Elizabeth Taylor and Monty Cliff that somehow didn't work?
Kathy Bates' TV series "Harry's Law" is canceled. Kathy's resilient. She has another movie gig. http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/helena-bonham-carter-and-kathy-bates-sign-on-to-jean-pierre-jeunets-3d-the-young-and-prodigious-spivet-20120516
So surprised Danerys is your least favourite! I thought she would have been your favourite, seeing as she is such a badass, beautiful character. And what do you mean she has no story arc! So much happened in the first season!
