Is IFC likely to censor the nudity? Because if not, I am SO watching!

[indygirl]

No censoring at all! Everything is there in all its uncut glory. And no scenes have been omitted either.

Ba-dum-bum

[Deleted]

Woohoo!!!

I cannot picture any other actor playing his part.

That's true for so many roles he's played. I really can't imagine anyone else as Catcher Block in Down With Love either.

I always thought the best part of Moulin Rouge was that you could see his fillings. Eeee, fillings.

Just watched NightWatch. So young! So cute! So scared!

Love him.

[snacktastic]

I agree with the Moulin Rouge assessment. Plus, he was a much better singer.

[indygirl]

So much better! Some of those notes he hit in "My Song" give me chills. Just lovely.

I haven't seen Night Watch; did you rent it or did it come on tv? Is that the one with Patricia Arquette? I remember reading an interview in which she talked about filming a movie with EM. She said that right before their make-out scene, she ate a ton of garlic--a twisted way of proving her loyalty and love for her then husband Nicolas Cage (that worked out well). And apparently EM had a bit of an allergic reaction to the garlic.

Yep, Nightwatch is with Patricia Arquette and Josh Brolin and the mom from the Gilmore Girls. It's a thriller - don't watch it alone at night, like I did. Didn't sleep well. Garlic? Why would she do that to Ewan! Jaysus woman ewwww.

[Deleted]

The way I heard it was that she suggested they both eat raw garlic in order to somehow prove their loyalty to their spouses or whatever, and he just went along with it. Then he got sick.
See, even if I were involved with someone, and I were making a movie with love scenes, I'd be the opposite-and insist on Altoids. I HATE it when people have bad breath.

Here is the quote that I read. It's a little unclear with all the pronouns and no antecedents. I interpreted it as her deal with Cage rather than with Ewan. But her rationale makes no sense anyway you look at it.

Patricia Arquette (actor Nightwatch - Katherine)


(how she and her former husband, Nicholas Cage, handled love scenes with others)
I was thinking like what can we do so that you feel like you're there and I feel like I’m there. So we made this agreement that we would eat raw garlic during love scenes in our movies. So I ate all these cloves of raw garlic… Ewan’s allergic to raw garlic apparently, so ...(laughs). The Tonight Show, April 9 1998
