    Anyone catch James Nesbitt’s fantastic turn as Jekyll & Hyde in BBC’s July series “Jekyll”?
    Kinda popped into my head when I saw this sheet.

    Tofu, I saw all 6 episodes of Jekyll and thought it was awesome. Great writing, even if some of the directing was cheesy at times. Apparently a lot of Brits find Nesbitt annoying but he really did a great job alternating between a sympathetic, human figure, and an unpredicable menace, something I sure as hell don’t think Depp is capable of doing.

    loved “jekyll!” nesbitt was great. had both those characters down and could translate back and forth without the hokey camera tricks. one of my favorite things to see all year

    Finished with episode 3. If you want annoying, then look no further than Paterson Joseph as Benjamin. The dialogue just didn’t mesh with his performance.
    I’ve faith in Depp.

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
