Clearly the answer is I shouldn't refer to movies I haven't seen nor want to see. Legolas Send a noteboard - 14/09/2011 10:10:37 PM
You seem to list films here that worked despite of characters being played by actors with different origins than the character. How does Inglourious Basterds fit in then? Tarantino tried really hard to cast people from the respective countries or at least capable of speaking the language. The whole point of several episodes within the film was to make fun of the fact that characters in spy movies used to get away with only rudimentary knowledge of the language they are trying to infiltrate.

Somehow I was thinking they all spoke English, though now that you mention it I feel like I should indeed have remembered from the discussions that they didn't. Oh well.

There are plenty of movies I could name instead, obviously, but somehow a movie like, say, Memoirs of a Geisha doesn't really make quite the same impression.

Lower? DomA - 14/09/2011 11:52:46 PM 680 Views

No. I try to pretend Valkyrie doesn't exist. Legolas - 14/09/2011 10:12:25 PM 793 Views
Can I ask why? You've got me curious. Nate - 14/09/2011 10:33:57 PM 707 Views
Are you really trying to make me argue both sides of the argument in one thread? Legolas - 14/09/2011 11:04:50 PM 670 Views
Where's the fun in only arguing one side? :p Nate - 14/09/2011 11:10:05 PM 628 Views

Ok, if Orlando Bloom is a cackling over-acting villian, I may have to see this. Darth_Katie - 13/09/2011 10:03:06 PM 672 Views

Man, it's been a long time since I read "The Three Musketeers". Fanatic-Templar - 15/09/2011 05:16:06 AM 745 Views
Definitely waiting for this to hit the cheap theater. Then it can just be a guilty pleasure. *NM* Zalis - 15/09/2011 01:24:23 PM 277 Views
