Viggo and Eastern Promises

[Liberalynn]

I noticed it advertised here and that's cool. I am tempted because I am a big Viggo fan but it looks kind of too disturbing for me.

And was I the only one who got a creepy Gollum sort of feeling the way he's stooping in that one scene with just his underwear in front of those Russian mob guys? He looked pretty pasty and spooky, almost like a ghost. JMHO. It made me shiver just looking at him.

I don't think I can go see this one.

Gotta go eat my fish fry now!

1. I'm getting ready to go see it

as i type. :-)

It looks really interesting.

[Liberalynn]

4. You'll have to let me know what you think!

[supernova]

9. Sure thing, Lynn

[AllegroRondo]

2. I hear theres full nudity

so if you love Viggo, thats reason enough to go.

[Liberalynn]

5. That sounds promising

but he looks so strange in the trailers. I did love him though in Hidalgo, and the Lord of the Rings.

8. Absofuckinglutely!

:evilgrin:

Actresses have had to disrobe for forever, it's about damn time actors are giving it up for us females in the audience.

18. For the full Viggo experience, see "Indian Runner"....

the first film Sean Penn directed, I believe.

3. isn't that director known for really violent films?

but it does look intriguing.


He really looks the part. Amazing actor.

[supernova]

6. He also did the original "Crash"

several years ago, about a group of people who get off on car crashes. Which I strangely enjoyed. So, I think I might enjoy this one too.

[tigereye]

11. oh, I always meant to see the film about car crashes....

What was it called?

:hi:

[supernova]

12. "Crash"

Staring James Spader (yet another kinker. LOL) and Holly Hunter.

7. He is an amazing actor

but uncertainty about the violence level is what has me sckeptical as well.

[DS1]

13. Cronenberg?

Total snoozefests, even with the shock-value

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Videodrome > YOU

A History of Violence (2005)
The Fly (1986)
The Dead Zone (1983)
Videodrome (1983)
