Mal ,'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.
Mal's going to meet Patience to sell the cargo he retreived, and Jayne sights his rifle on Mal's head.
I've never thought about that scene like that before.
Saw Bourne Supremacy. Want a 50-year ban on all use of hand-held cameras in non-documentary movies.
Isn't Serenity being filmed hand-held?
So, much like The Cell, then? Good to know that's another one I don't have to see.
Haven't seen that one, but I hear there's a mutilated horse. Woo!
I've never thought about that scene like that before.
Huh? How did you think about it? In one scene, Jayne asks Dobson if helping him means turning on the captain, and a couple scenes later, he's got him in his sights.

It has got to be the most creative and artsy horse-mutilation scene ever.
Artsy, yes, and also really gross and awful. The only reason I didn't walk out of The Cell is because the friends I'd gone with were into it and I hadn't brought a book with which to occupy myself while waiting for them in the lobby. I really strongly disliked that movie.
Ah. So, much like The Cell, then? Good to know that's another one I don't have to see.
Much about The Cell causes me to roll my eyes or twitch, but the art direction of that movie is stunning. Yes, everything is really fucked up, but it's preeeeeety (in a disturbing, 'yep, crazy person!' sort of way, I will admit).
To me, The Cell didn't really add up to much--but yes, very pretty.
Kate! My sistah! The only reason I didn't leave the theatre at Two Brothers is because my ride was into the movie. I sat in the lobby and read the book I'd brought. The friends I'd gone with were distraught. I had hurled so much invective at the screen and was beyond keeping it below a whisper, so I left. I enjoyed my book, and so did my blood pressure.
Now I realize Two Brothers is nowhere near the 'artistic' level of the other movie, but your reaction struck a chord nonetheless.
Agreed The Cell was pretty but incomprehensible in a silly and pretentious way. Then again, has there ever been a serial killer in movies who just strangled and dumped his victims in a ditch, without getting baroque (and thereby caught)? Probably not.
Pleased to see all this Manchurian love. The plot itself I can take or leave in some ways; but the signature Frankenheimer verve of the camera is what really sold me on it. I'm just a Frankenheimer nerd.
The Cell was beautiful but incomprehensible.
We watched Romy & Michele's High School Reunion last night. I had forgotten how incredibly goofy that movie is, but the ballet to"Time After Time" is brilliant. And Mira Sorvino should play Scarlett Johansson's relative, either an older sister or a Loralei Gilmore-esque mother.

Um, Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer?
That was a very creepy movie because it felt real.
