Really! What have you heard about Bobby?
I have absolutely no idea what any of this means (with the exception of knowing who Kate Winslet is). |

Mixed - from the little I read - I guess I didn't have as much interest in that film |

I'd agree, Billy........Edward Norton was riveting in The Illusionist. And if it's not acting.......it's probably the charisma that all famous celebrities are supposed to have. I have a friend who recently saw Robert Redford give a speech at a university...........She was overwhelmed being in his presence, hanging on his every word...............Even at 68 he casts a spell.
That's the funny thing - I 'm very attracted to Norton and yet I didn't see all this charisma others have spoke of in the film -Like I mentioned earlier he does have this amazing penetrating stare (as in all his films ) but it got old for me after a while and I didn't think he had much chemistry with Biel and found the love scene ludiscrously chaste, like something from a dime store romance novel - abridged via Reader's digest |

You've said this before so I'll say again, you like your sex scenes graphic. |

Ohhhh. Of course I knew about that, but in the context it sounded like Little Children was starring Kate Winslet and Babel. Now this performer Babel (towering giant? irish wolfhound??), I have never heard of.
Says a lot about using proper (or any) identification of titles.
I can't wait for Babel, either. |

they don't alway need to be graphic - just not silly (unless that's on purpose) |

In fact, you did. My bad, must have been the Bobby? I don't know, but boy howdy was I confused. Sowwy.
BTW, is Bobby a movie, too? |

I think that was intentional, consistent with the whole old-timey feel of the movie. The setting of the story was turn-of-the-century, but the movie itself seemed to be going for a made-in-the-1930's feel, what with the warbly music, dim lighting, and the shading in the corners of the screen. Any love scene in a 1930's movie is going to look dime-store by today's standards, and it seemed like that's what they were going for in "The Illusionist". |

I had exactly the same reaction as Wade. Was sure "Bobby" was a nickname for some actor named "Babel" and I couldn't understand why I'd never heard of this guy. |
