So she gets rats.

I'm okay with this.

:lulz:

I think the guy gets the rats. I don't know what she gets, didn't Orwell leave it unsaid? 

The possibilities are ENDLESS.  :)

Winston was threatened with the rats and it was his breaking point. He told his torturers to do it to HER. It was the first time he betrayed her and it broke him. After that they let him go because he was a broken shell. I don't remember if it says they did it to her, but I do remember Winston's agonizing over the betrayal bit.

Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.

Also, I think Keanu Reeves would make a perfect Winston to Kristen Stewart's Julia.

I just hope it turns out to be an unintentional rom-com.

Tell me with a straight face that the ending is not going to be drastically re-written.

1. 1984 isn't a romantic comedy?

2. Kristen Stewart can act.  And smile.  I have seen both.  However, I think she has been given a number of incredibly shit, yet commercially successfully roles in the past. She's not going to pull a Robert Pattinson and whine because, well, money is money, but at the same time, those roles are dumb.  Would you put in more than the minumum effort required to get paid?

Junkenstein

Professional pride?


Sorry about that noise, nearly swallowed my own tongue.

Yeah, would you evince any professional pride over portraying Bella Swan?

THANK YOU.  She was really good in Adventureland, killed it in The Runaways, and if you want to go way back, she was pretty good in Panic Room and The Saftey of Objects.

She got "famous" playing a poorly-written Mary Sue who had the emotional depth of a wood plank.  It's not her fault that the script has her stumbling from scene to scene like some mannequin.

Yes yes yes to 1.  It certainly fucking was.

And, yes to 2 as well.

Um, they shot him after they broke him.

The Magus is an atrocity that should never have been committed to film. Michael Cain will answer for his crimes one day as well, but that's besides the point.

She was good in Panic room, that was a long time ago, I'd forgotten that was her.

It's really unfair to judge any movie before they even have a script or start production, even if her recent history has been useless lets at least wait until there is a trailer.

Don't they meet again and have nothing left to say between them, it ending on the really depressing "He loved big brother", or did the 1950's movie have a different ending?

That's what I remember.  I don't remember Winston being shot.

Because he wasn't.  I was remembering the dream sequence.

QuoteHe engages in a "blissful dream" in which he offers a full, public confession of his crimes and is executed.

Retracted, carry on.

Huh, I always read the end execution as literal.

I'll have to re-read it now.
