Oh my, Mr. Marsden.

So I finally saw Enchanted this weekend.

James Marsden: Officially typecast.

But seriously, though, he was awesome in that movie. Even if he does play... well, not the same character, but definitely the same role in every movie that he's in. Er. If that makes any sense. I guess I should say, his characters always fulfill the same role: that of the third wheel.

Somebody, please cast this man as the lead in a movie ASAP! I think that he'd be awesome as the lead in a romantic comedy.

And I couldn't watch Edward onscreen without imagining that it was Cyclops wearing those poofy sleeves and singing those ridiculous love songs.

Hehe, he was such a pretty choice for Cyclopes. I haven't seen Enchanted yet.

I also imagined Cyclopos singing the songs in Hairspray.

James Marsden was in Hairspray?!

Okay, now I gotta see that movie.

Would you recommend this movie just for pure entertainment value?
If I were to recommend something good, it would be The Golden Compass. It's the truly "epic" movie I've seen for a while.

Yes, Enchanted is definitely pure entertainment. It's light and fluffy, but it's also seriously awesome (and hilarious) from beginning to end. It's definitely NOT an "epic fantasy" in the vein of Golden Compass or Narnia or LoTR. I'd say it's much more of a comedy. A fantasy-comedy. Er.

The IMDB photo gallery (http://imdb.com/title/tt0461770/photogallery-ss-0) for the movie tells you pretty much everything that you need to know about it. ;)

Thanks. I better go see it sometime then! I love really well-done and witty comedy. This movie sounds like it.

Oh yeah, and the trailer (http://imdb.com/title/tt0461770/trailers-me60676348).

I mean, the movie is exactly what it promises to be in the trailer.

[miss-breeziness.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Er. If that makes any sense. I guess I should say, his characters always fulfill the same role: that of the third wheel.

Um... Well, he was less in love with himself in Superman Returns... But the third wheel part really is a recurring theme.

And I couldn't watch Edward onscreen without imagining that it was Cyclops wearing those poofy sleeves and singing those ridiculous love songs.

Word. But wasn't this part of the appeal of the movie?
Having Cyclops wear poofy sleeves, get hit by cyclists and share a skanky hotel room with Peter Pettigrew? Massive fun!
The fact that Queen Narissa was played by Susan Sarandon (Janet from RHPS) was also a bonus.
And spending the whole movie waiting for Idina Menzel to start singing, dammit!
