'The Message'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

But it doesn't really work without the hand gestures, so I'll restrain myself.
"Writing about movies is like dancing about architecture"?

Okay, but only if you promise to give this presentation in SF. I gotta see this.
And I'm in total agreement with you.
"Writing about movies is like dancing about architecture"?
Well, writing single sentences, anyway.

Also, Jon Stewart should make more romantic comedies.

Word, Vonnie. Although now that he's a dad (or did I see a repeat last night?) I bet he'll have even less time for that sort of thing.
Why don't people make the movies I want to see? Sigh.
Yes, you saw a repeat last night, but it was within the last two weeks that his wife gave birth.
