It's Official - I'm Now a Ewan McGregor Fan!
Edited on Sat May-29-04 10:37 PM by Crisco
Shallow Grave - liked that.
Trainspotting - liked that.
A Life Less Ordinary - liked that.
Star Wars - uhh ..
Moulin Rouge - loved that.
Star Wars again - uhhhhh ...
Nora - was fascinated by that.

Just got done watching Down With Love and I adored it!

In between those box office blahsters, this guy can pick some seriously interesting screenplays to get involved with - and pull it off.

He pulls his shirt off quite nicely, too :)

It hasn't shown up on HBO or IFC yet (as far as I can tell), only the movie channels I don't get.

*how* he takes it off matters, too though.

Obviously, the script called for it! heehee.

7. I wasn't crazy about Velvet Goldmine...
I watched it around the first time I saw Hedwig & The Angry Inch, and Hedwig just blew it away...

8. Am I the only one who actually likes Attack of the Clones?
Edited on Sat May-29-04 11:17 PM by leftistagitator
Sure, the love scenes sucked monkeyballs, but Star Wars has never been able to pull off romance without making me wince. Remember the
"scruffy nerf-herder" line from Empire Strikes Back? The last half of the movie was outstanding, from the part where Anikan slaughters that village all the way to the end. My only real complaint was that they cut away from the genocidal slaughter scene far too soon.

It's like sand in the swimsuit panties.

15. Nope! I LOVE "Attack of the Clones"
It's an excellent movie, and Ewan McGregor plays the younger Obi-Wan Kenobi to perfection.

12. Try "Rogue Trader"
Fascinating true story about a broker who brought down the biggest bank in England.

14. I watched "Big Fish"
a few weeks after my own Dad died-cried all the way through it. They didn't come any bigger than my dad.
