Yeah, just say "that was better than I thought," smile and nod, and avoid any smacking over the head with a newspaper. What I always do.

I wouldn't call it an OST by any stretch, but the placement of actual jazz/20s music and more modern songs worked for me.

It is a great cast, though.The movie has a lot of people split and I totally get why, but I personally enjoyed it, even as someone who isn't usually all that enthralled by Luhrmann's hyper-style, which is still definitely a big part of this movie, so maybe expecting it helped me like it more?

Well, in all honesty, if you thought his character (or the characters in general) were shallow and two-dimensional, there have been a decent amount of people coming from that viewpoint who have seen this.

But hey, he is a great actor, you definitely buy the character from him, and the movie's very pretty.

I'm gonna go ahead and tamper your expectations though, and say your wife will probably like it a lot more than you. lol Could be wrong about that as I know neither of you too personally, but that'd be my guess.

Yeah, I checked his rottentomatoes page while writing this, and that's his highest rated on there.

I just didn't like the way it was shot and edited at all when I saw it, but it's been a while so maybe now I'd like it more.

I liked that guy, too, but I think just because Mercutio was my favorite character.

That's a really good picture of you and your wife. Cool.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate his style tremendously, and people adore Moulin Rouge, it's just some of the editing in those makes me dizzy. I'm going to try and watch Moulin Rouge all the way through at some point, though.

Never seen Doctor Who, but she was excellent as Daisy.

Loved "Primal Scream." Nice ecclectic list.

That's good. Still waiting to adopt anything well past the release.
