Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.

She's terrific in Garden State. She's playing a character type I'm normally not very fond of, but the movie's well-written enough that she's not a cliche, and her performance is really relaxed and genuine. (Her comments to the effect of "It's so nice to be working on a small, character-driven film where I feel valued as an actor" would indicate that getting away from George Lucas has been good for her.)
Oh, I'm totally awaiting Garden State. It looks great.
I want to slather Clive Owen in olive oil and eat him.
I have issues.
Apparently, as I thought I had a pretty good idea what you wanted to do with him, and this (points up) wasn't it.
Sue, have you seen Clive in Close Your Eyes?
Yes, I have seen the full Clive, so to speak. I just didn't think much of the rest of the movie, so I wasn't sure if it was worth it.
The Onion's review of Catwoman is pretty funny.
Able to leap around with feline grace, wear revealing leather outfits without shame, and improvise cat-themed puns, she is Catwoman, even though she bears little resemblance to the Catwoman from the Batman universe. It's like naming a movie Spider-Man because it's about a guy with eight legs who shoots silk out of his ass.
Of course, none of that would matter if the movie were any good, but it's not. Mononymical director Pitof cut his teeth on digital effects and music videos, and he directs Catwoman as though he was targeting the attention span of actual cats. He cuts rapidly, keeping the camera in constant motion lest viewers wander off in search of food or a quiet place to nap.
Apparently, as I thought I had a pretty good idea what you wanted to do with him, and this (points up) wasn't it.
Dude, you clearly weren't paying attention.
Clive Owne: is he a salad, or is he Something Else??
I took Burrell's meaning, but I had a fun detour into Silly Associations With Greasing Up A Thing One Likes.
Greasing Up A Thing One Likes
Are we in Astroglide territory, or somewhere else?
Are we in Astroglide territory, or somewhere else?
No silly, we're in olive oil territory. Weren't you paying attention?
Hey -- Nutty said she was associating. Don't restrict her imagination.
