'The Girl in Question'
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.
I liked the Catwoman who was the wife of a drunken abuser and turned to crime as a form of self-esteem-raising revenge. No magic, no baroque plotting (I mean, except for the gadgetry and costumes) -- just "Fuck you, cruel world".
I like that she was perfectly sane, and just rejected the normal order of things because it didn't keep her husband from smacking her around.

I'm seeing The Village tonight. It will take $7.75 away from me. And I'll probably like it, considering I'm one of the few Unbreakable fans here.
I liked Unbreakable ok.
I liked it too, but from what I know I think M.'s played himself out this time.
Unbreakable is, it seems, the new gerund. Or Atkins diet.
I'm thinking of going to see The Manchurian Candidate on Sunday and if I wake up and get going early enough (I'd have to catch an 8 am bus) making it a political double feature of sorts by going to the Barack Obama rally beforehand.
I now have a morbid curiosity to see The Village.
I hate giving up a hard earned 8 dollars to take such a chance, but I figure, at worst, my friends are excellent people to see an awful movie with.

How do you figure?
Or Atkins diet.
I'm so confused.

Yeah. Pretty much, we can't not see it. We have to see this apparently ridiculous twist in its proper setting, to fully appreciate it. (By "we," I mean my friend and I, not the human race.)

The new point of contention among Buffistas. You have all these people saying they didn't like Unbreakable, and then someone will poke their head up and say "Hey, *I* liked it!" Or you get someone saying "I liked it, but I'm a comics geek," and someone else replies with "I'm a comics geek, and I *didn't* like it!" etc.
