Wow; in Perdita Durango, Javier Bardem manages to have a hairstyle that's even more messed up than the one he had in No Country For Old Men.

oddly, i found him irresistable, gorgeous, attractive, amazing in that woody allen movie (vicky christina barcelona??).

Oh, when he isn't playing nihilistic assassins or coke-addled Satanists, he's a hunk. (How is that movie? I've been debating seeing it.)

i got about 1/2 hour in and turned it off. i really wanted to like it but it was boring and annoying and flat.

Yeah; other than Stardust Memories or Crimes and Misdemeanors (Or Purple Rose of Cairo, up until the ending, which I *loathed*), that pretty well sums up Woody Allen for me. It takes a certain kind of genius to feature Penelope Cruz making out with Scarlett Johansson, and make it boring.

damn! i missed that part! wah!

yeah, i never thought i'd turn off anything with scarlett in it but this one...ugh.

That is a TOUGH choice.

I think I hate the Dorothy Hamill cut more, simply because it's so WRONG.

omg hideous.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona was decent; this article (http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_7402) from GQ sheds some light on it.

From its nostalgia for volcanic artists to its palaver about sexual experimentation as the shortcut to self-discovery, everything in Vicky Cristina makes more sense if you dial the time machine back forty years and view it as Allen’s belated valentine to the ’60s.... To those of us who’ve spent decades wearily watching him stack the deck to invalidate everybody’s morals but his own, his generosity here is as wondrous, in its way, as Nixon’s opening to China.
