Who's cuter' Orlando Bloom or Kirsten Dunst' Check out the ELIZABETHTOWN poster and decide!

Published at:  Jun 20, 2005 2:43:36 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the poster for Cameron Crowe's upcoming ELIZABETHTOWN, which was first presented by the good folks over at Latino Review. ELIZABETHTOWN is one of my most anticipated flicks of the year. Crowe's ALMOST FAMOUS was my favorite flick the year it came out and still stands as one of the most touching and personally involving films I have ever seen. Granted, as a young man who started writing about film and interviewing celebrities at the age of 14 I had a rather unique experience with the film, but Crowe has not failed me yet. I haven't read the script, I haven't seen any footage, so this is all on faith. I can say I really like the poster. It reminds me a bit of the LOST IN TRANSLATION Bill Murray poster in terms of one image of an actor (in this case, two actors) showing everything we need to know about the character(s) on the poster. Body language, eyes, clothing... Says what we need to know. I can't wait for this one! Check out the poster below!









Hey folks, Harry here... Quint beat me to posting the above poster... but unlike him, I have seen close to 20 minutes of the film. Just select scenes from here or there. There's something just uncanny about the way Orlando Bloom holds himself in the footage. It reminds me of a young Jack Lemmon... You can't see it in the poster really... but in the footage, well it was there - mainly in his eyes and the way he shrugs a smirk into a smile. To me, this is the film that shows us if Orlando Bloom can be a star. For basically the first time, he doesn't have a horse, a sword or a bow. His ears are not pointy and he doesn't have 100,000 pixely people backing him up in battle. Here he's just an incredibly bright and talented man slapped with failure at a gargantuan level. That urn in his lap there... that's his dad. Kirsten is just a flirtatious flight attendent that... well, she's that amazing miracle that happens upon your life when you're scrapping a sewer for a dime. She's a quirky mysteriously odd bit of whimsy, she's a bucket of smiles and a pair of sympathetic eyes. She sees more than he could possibly guess. This will be amongst the very best films of the year. You'll see.

    Geeze, when did everybody get so fucking holier-than-thou? I reckon with no new Star Wars y'all just have no purpose. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Cameron's latest pic...Alomst Famous totally fucking ruled for so many reasons, as did Say Anything, Fast Times (technically not his...but close enough for me), only Vanilla Sky left me a little cold. I lived with a girl from Elizabethtown (Kentucky...in case you didn't figure that one out already) and the town is truley full of characters. It's about 45 miles SW of Louisville, fairly close to Fort Knox. I remember when Cameron & crew came to shoot and was pissed that the day of "extras-shooting" I was tied up at work. Still, this is only help to make the summer of Aught-5 to be the best one in years. So lighten up you guys...you know you'd do Kirsten in a New York Minute. Deny it, punk! www.cinematreasures.org

    . . . in Pirates of the Carribean & Kingdom of Heaven, but shouldn't THOSE still have been the films that showed us he could be a star? I think so. And he still hasn't shown that he can be anything but a talking mannequin and every 11 year old girl's pretty boy favorite. Has anyone stopped to think, "What if Orlando Bloom had his present day fame back when I first found out he was cast as Legolas?"

You have no idea what he's gone through, how sweet of a person he is, and how good of an actor he is.

And besides, this movie had been created WAAAAAAY before Garden State was ever a small idea in the corner of the creators mind. So Garden State was a copy of Elizabethtown, not the other way around. Just because it came out first doesnt mean that it was created first. Garden State probably didn't take very long to make because it was much crappier than Elizabethtown. You people should really get your facts straight. Geez.

    by performingmonkey

    He JUST about pulled it off in Pirates, and only because, with Depp on the scene, there was no need for Bloom to play anything other than one dimensional pretty boy. As a lead he lacks charisma. The sooner casting directors realise this, the better. Although it looks like it's gonna take a while before they consider anything other than his looks and 'pretty boy' fanbase.

    ...while Kirsten is merely...blonde. No contest. And get a clue, fanboys -- Orlando's appeal is mostly to heterosexual (and some lesbian) women (much as you'd like to think he's pandering to gay men). Orlando may not be a great actor, but then again, neither is Tom Cruise, and Patrick Fugit was a green kid, and Crowe managed to elicit great performances from both of them (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous). Crowe also knows if raw acting material will pan out -- after all, he fired Ashton Kutcher for being a piss-poor actor and had Bloom take over the lead role in this film. Malign Orlando to your hearts' content, boys, but the little girls understand.

Y'all are entitled to your opinions- just barely- but bear in mind that Kirsten Dunst AND Orlando Bloom get paid millions of dollars to appear in movies *because lots of people find them attractive*, while you guys... well, maybe post your pictures online, and we'll all tell you what we think, but I'm betting they ask you to face the rear of the Burger Hut while you operate the fry basket, so you don't frighten the paying customers.

    OK, I have no extra special love for Cruise, but I have yet to see him put in a shit performance in a movie. Granted, there are some where he kind of Cruises along with little effort, but he's mostly solid, and at least he has SOMETHING, unlike Bloom, who probably couldn't even get a part in a TV show if he auditioned. It's just the media blitz around him.

    I challenge you to post 15 stories in a row on movies like this, that don't have guns, robots, swords, capes or magic comic strip x-men powers. I believe by the 4th or 5th story some of these talkbackers will run around their apartments shitting themselves like a dog on the 4th of July. And then hopefully somewhere around number 12 theye'll start chewing their own arms off. There is no way to really know for sure this will work unless you have the courage to pull the trigger on this one. And I think you do. By the way, funniest post of the day is the kid who said this was "gay gay gay." Yeah that's right, nothing more homosexual than a picture of a man and a woman sitting together.

    Kirsten Dunst = FUGLY!

    by jethrobodine

    Brundlefly would look cute sitting next to Kirsten Dunst! If I ever venture into show business, I want her publicist and her agent. They have Hollywood and the public at large bamboozled into thinking she's a glamorous sex kitten. I hate to tell you folks this, but the Emperor has NO CLOTHES!

    by camangren

    ok this is boring... people fighting all over the place... I'm not complaining about Bloom being the lead... after all he is the best from the mediocrity of young actors of our days... and you can't say he's not better than Ashton Kutcher, besides Dunst is a decent actress, not too great but ok enough to entertain for a while... I guess this film will be cool... after all... it's a Cameron Crowe film.

    by sirbiatchreturns

    shows what you can do with the right airbrushing technology. i personally don't like my women with pencil like legs and no booty, but however, i have to say that Dunst's face in that picture was much better than normal. they should have just pasted that over every entire scene she was in.

    Umm...wasn't this Garden State?

    by film whisperer

    That was my first response when Garden STate came out: Isn't this the same story as the Cameron Crowe movie? No doubt, the sensibilities will be different. But I'm getting a little tired of the quirky girlfriend who has the right amount of oddness and compassion to bring a guy out of his depression. The only time I've seen it work was in ETERNAL SUNSHINE. As for Orlando Bloom, the guy's a mediocre talent at best. The whole time watching KINGDOM OF HEAVEN I kept giggling over how prescient Chris Rock's line was: "If you can't get Russell Crowe, wait!" And Kirsten: That linked picture was from years ago (around Crazy/Beautiful , I believe) and she was hot stuff then. Her bod still looks good. The legs are kicking. But something's gone wrong with the face, and not just because of bad photography in SPIDERMAN 2. She just looks pale and odd these days. Maybe its too much partying.

    That tag line....

    by liberty valance

    "It's a heck of a place to find yourself"? One of the blandest, most pussified tag lines I've ever heard. For a Cameron Crowe flick I'd expect something more creative. At the very least, something that didn't blatantly rip off Deadwood season one (A hell of a place to make your fortune). Oh, and take a long hard look at Orlando's vacant stare on the poster, because that's the furthest extent of his acting ability. He's the Keanu Reeves of the new millenium.

    Atrocious accents

    There's nothing worse than British people who think they can do convincing southern accents, and Orlando Bloom is going to be the worst.
    I thought Minnie Driver did okay with Grosse Pointe Blank.

I was almost going to do it, everybody was saying how great it was, then I saw that clip. And the clip where Natalie Portman does that retarded person dance. Fuck that shit. I loved, LOVED Kylee's posts. She THE quintessential poster. The metatalkbacker.

    by cal_hooper

    I think that Orlando Bloom will someday prove himself to be a good actor, lead or not. He was great in Calcium Kid, and that role didn't have any swords, horses or pointy ears... And by the way, everyone in Black Hawk Down sucked, except for Eric Bana. It was a rotten movie.

    Early Jack Lemmon

    by mcamp81

    I agree with the Early Jack Lemmon comment. I did read the script for Elizabethtown, and I have some correlation to relay. Before he filmed Elizabethtown, Orlando was persuaded by Cameron Crowe to watch The Apartment. I have also seen The Apartment recently. I can imagine Jack Lemmon, in The Apartment, as almost an example of what Cameron would want Drew Baylor to be like.

    The script is wonderfully written (of course, hello, it's Cameron Crowe) and I can not wait for this film to hit the cinemas.

    Yeah, nooobody here would hit that because she's not hot enough. Lying mother fuckers. And btw, Garden State was one of the better movies of last year. Braff did a great job of directing, writing, and starring in his first movie! 99.9% of us haven't even had the chance to do even one of those jobs. It is a very long drop from whatever high horse some of you are on. I think Batman will hold up well through word of mouth and overseas. It will make a profit although not a huge one. I took the girl to see it yesterday after work ( a dreaded Monday mind you) and the theater was 3/4 full.

    Dunst and Elizabethtown

    by mafu

    I realize many talkbackers on this thread find Dunst "ugly," "fugly," or simply "unattractive," but I think she's hot. I mean, the scene where she dances in her underwear on the bed in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" gave me a few turned-on goosebumps. She's not smokin' in a Jennifer Garner or Jessica Alba way, but I've always liked her blue eyes and playful smile. As for Elizabethtown, I'm excited for it. Like Quint, I know next to nothing about the film, but I dug "Almost Famous," and I'm hopeful Crowe can give us a taste of that medicine.

  • Actually, he's more androgynous than Hugh Grant, so just paying hookers wouldn't be enough. He'd have to get busted for raping and beating hookers, talking trash about Liberals and Feminists, trading blows with someone people hate more like Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck, and breaking up some famous starlette's marriage and then dumping her like Russel Crowe did to Meg Ryan. That combined with maybe a scar and getting kinda uglier as he ages would maybe be enough to repair his image with alpha-male-loving Movie Geeks who enjoy bitching about him waaaaaay too much. This isn't about his talents. The only film he was in that actually sucked and bombed was Troy, and that wasn't because of him at all. Heck, taking such a pussy role was actually bold of him; too bad the movie's script was shit and he wasn't more of a villain like Commodus in Gladiator. I liked Kingdom of Heaven, I think it got dismissed because it was too PC and because it was too much like other (better) movies both Bloom and Scott had done before. And being hated for successfully playing the straight man to Johnny Depp? What the FUCK is that about? Seriously, dudes, did your girlfriends shout out "Orlando" one night during sex? Are you overcompensating for secret homosexual attactions to him? Or are you simply envious of his seemingly easily won fame (which could describe 95% of the current crop of celebrities, so talk about bullshit). I was on board for the hatred of Ben Affleck, that guy just seemed arrogant and reminded me of people who treated me like shit back in High School, but the DIE ORLANDO BLOOM club has become a farce of emasculated fools trying to look macho by hating the pretty boy.

    by des15

    All you haters out there seriously need to find something better to do with your time. You are just flaming these perfectly decent actors and actresses to try and make yourselves feel like something important. I'm tired of you people slandering movies and actors that you know nothing about! I'm looking forward to E-town because Crowe is a great director and Orlando Bloom and Dunst are both wonderful actors. I don't buy any of your bullshit because I've heard awsome reviews from MATURE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SAW SOME OF THE MOVIE! None of you (with an exception of a few) know what your talking about. I enjoy Orlando's acting he may not be the best, but I would still pay to see his movies. Dunst is great in the movie Endless sunshine of the spottless mind (whatever the title was). You people need to pull the cock from your asses because all of you have said absoluty nothing! None of your concepts make sense! So just get over yourselves...I'm so tired of this bullshit, and more power to ya Darth and Kylee, I totally agree with you two! OH and by the way, In Crowe's online journal, Crowe actually complements Orando's acting many times! If there is anyone to listen to about acting skills it would be Crowe! AND for the those of you who said KOH sucked because of Orlando Bloom, SHUT UP! For one thing Orlando was wonderful in that movie and if there is anyone to blame for the choppy scenes awkward flow of KOH, it isn't the actors, but the director! So stop blameing OB it's not his fault someone doesn't know how to keep the flow of their own movie, because they cut out just about every important scene! I'm happy to finally see OB try something that doesn't have to do with war and that shit because I will admit that he defentaly is more of a 'present day movie' actor. Okay I'm done ranting and feel much better! :P

He won my respect in the amount of energy he puts forth to actually pay attention to what you have to say, as if it meant all the world to him. So what if he can't act... maybe he can act, and he just hasn't had the right sort of film yet? Maybe the horse and sword thing isn't his bag. Only time will tell..

    by winemonkey

    I'm so confused. Why is Mr Bloom proving so unpopular? Why does it worry a whole lot of you that women find him attractive? And how disturbing is it that most of you can't stay civil when talking about what a woman looks like? Do you kiss your girlfriends with those mouths?? Probably not, because YOU DON'T HAVE GIRLFRIENDS YOU SAD FAT FUCKERS. GET BACK TO THE SELF LOVE AND CLEARING UP THE MESS AFTER YOUR BLOOD WANKS. If that leaves you with a spare five minutes then learn to spell or at least to type - there are as yet undiscovered pygmy peoples who can probably string the English language together better than some of you.

And he almost died once, the doctors said he would never walk again and 2 weeks later he was out of the hospital. That just proves that hes a fighter and can still look sexy considering everything that hes been through. You can make any jokes you want about him being a klutz, i dont care, b/c thats just one reason why i love him, hes a putz like me. So i dont care what you say, you'll never know anything about him.
