limony snickett
Hey all,
Just got back from seeing Limony Snickett at the ANU. It was great! I came away thinking, especially after the awesome animation of the closing credits, how much love went into that film. Clearly the director had a vision and was prepared to put in every little detail to make it right. It was great fun and Sunny Baudelaire, the baby, was like the best cast member. She was so cute! Only thing is that I reckon Alan Rickman would have made a much better Count Olaf than Jim Carrey. I didn’t like Carrey – way too over-the-top. He wasn’t actually menacing or evil – just overacting. Rickman can do that quiet menacing thing that can be quite scary. Too bad…
Anyone else love the books or movie?

Speaking of Alan Rickman… I saw Hitchhiker’s last night, and he does an adorable Marvin.
I haven’t read the books, but I did catch get to catch the movie. A great choice it was! One of the most unusual and inspiring films I’ve seen in a long time with great acting and excellent cinematography. For me, it was like going for a ride to another land, it transformed my sense of time and place for the best part of two hours. As agreed with Carrey’s part, overall, I found it thoroughly enjoyable, and would highly recommended it to anyone who hasn’t yet seen it.
