Hey Ewan McG fans...I finally saw Moulin Rouge!

[sulawesigirl4]

Ok, first, sorry that it's off-topic, but I finally saw this movie and I wanted to talk about it and this seemed the best forum to do so. lol. Well, it's not entirely un-U2 because Ewan did sing a line from Pride.

Anyways, saw the movie. Loved it! Wow. It seemed to me like the kind of film you either love or hate. Unconventional to be sure. But the vitality and the emotion...and the unabashed use of pop music from the few decades...wow. I never thought I'd see a chorus line of old men in top hats singing Nirvana. lmao.

Highlight for me tho was Ewan. I've always admired his acting (he was woefully underused in Star Wars

) but I felt that he really shone in this film. He played the part just right...with enough youthful naivete but not overplaying it. And umm...he's damn hot!

Anyways, that's my rave. I know it's terribly old news...as the film came out eons ago, but I'm a loser and don't get out much these days. When it hits the $2 theatre next to my apartment, I finally see it. lol

I liked that flick-esp Ewan singing and the U2 line-he's a U2 fan so maybe he put that in there. and Sula-Ewan is SMOKIN hot, but he's no Edge!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

lol, Gina. Yeah, you gotta love the actors doing their own vocals.

"he's no Edge" ...well that goes without saying.

Still, I wouldn't mind waking up to that cute lil' face.

-sula

...thinking she should go see the movie again this weekend...after all it IS only $2.

 

[Gina Marie]

You mean this cute lil' face?

AHHH-The Beauty of Scotland

 

[Gina Marie]

Oh shite-those usually work-off to find another!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

wahhhh, I can't see the beauty of Scotland.

 

[Gina Marie]

OK-fingers and toes crossed cause I just can't be bothered w/ that Snapfish thing

He's a waitin' on you, Sula! Keepin' it warm for you!

 

[mad1]

Yeah Im gonna grab me mum to go see that film soon!!!!!!

 

[sulawesigirl4]

hot damn! Thanks Gina...think Edge will mind if I scoot on over there?

-sula

 

[Gina Marie]

Nah-don't think he would mind at all-just like he wouldn't mind if I scooted on over to Larry!

 

[WildHonee]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooove Ewan's singin voice. I only listen to 3 or 4 songs on the soundtrack....but it's worth it.

BEST SONG on that soundtrack -- Your Song. *faint* love love love it. Now I have an urge to go listen to it.

I agree Mona-that was my favorite song in the movie
*swooned over Ewan so much I spilled my popcorn and soda*

 

[WildHonee]

lol, that stuff is expensive. we should go to his house (*magically*) and demand for a refund, whichever way he wants to pau you. *innuendo*

I agree-I would just surrender to him immediately-and when doing my pic searching, I read that he has a movie coming out in March 2002 w/ Josh Hartnett called "Black Hawk Down".. Talk about a double dose of eye candy!
*who needs candy at the movie when you've got Ewan and Josh*

 

[WildHonee]

*gasp* *faint* I need to go to
1. the hospital to get oxygen at the thought of such hotness on the big screen all at once
2. church

Have to break free from PLEBA for a while, so this better work

EYE CANDY

 

[WildHonee]

Gina!!! Why'd you do that?!

Now I have a concussion from fainting and whacking my head on the floor. Who wants to come kiss it and make it all better? Ewan? josh? BONO?!

BTW while we're on the subject of being unfaithful to Bono etc., *sneak around* does anyone else watch "Gilmore girls" on WB? That Luke guy is one hot tamale!

try to ignore the "fold" in the middle-but here's another-this one might be TOO HOT even for PLEBA!

MORE EYE CANDY-SUGAR OVERLOAD

 

[Discoteque]

dang, Sula, what took ya so long!?

I LOVED this movie, it was like a Roman orgy for my eyes and ears...a friend got the CD of the soundtrack, but I only liked 4 of the songs: Children of the Revolution (duh!), Hindi Sad Diamonds, the Can Can song and Beck's Diamond Dogs - those four can get any day CRANKIN on my way to work! (turned up to 11 of course!)

And hey, it was the first Ewan McGregor movie I've seen where I didn't get to see his WILLY!! (think I've seen 4 of his films, and he's nekkid somewhere in each of them)

disco

 

[sulawesigirl4]

lol. I dunno what took me so long. But I do know I'm gonna have to see it again. What an assault on one's senses! Visually, emotionally, aurally. Wow.

I might have missed it, but was Bono and Gavin's song actually IN the movie or just on the soundtrack?

Yup. In the first scene where they're all drinking absinthe, and then when Christian and his friends have the huge party after their play is accepted by the Duke.
It's kind of the theme-song for the bohemian characters in the movie, and for the bohemian lifestyle in general.
