Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bitchslap me for asking a question? I'm glad she didn't. However am I going to learn if I get beaten up for asking an innocent question?

If I only had a brain...

For asking a question, no. For impugning the Radiance that Is Hugh? Quite possibly.

Now, I know this is going to be weird coming from me, but...if that's impugning, you may very well need to gain some distance from the imaginary people.

I am going to go watch Play It Again,Sam while eating homemade strawberry creme fraiche ice cream. Earlier today we watched Casablanca. This is the One True Double Feature.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Please don't come at me with a baseball bat, hammer, or knife.

So barehanded is okay?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For theater folks, our response when Swordfish came out was "Oh, Hugh Jackman, the guy from the London production of "Oklahoma" that got such amazing reviews." I was waiting for him to get into films, because his theater rep. preceded him. So not stunt casting in his case.

What was your response when X-Men came out?

So not stunt casting in his case.

Yes, yes, you can stop slapping me now. I only asked if it was, not claimed it was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Paige Davis, of Trading Spaces fame, is currently in Chicago. I shit you not.

I just watched It Happened One Night. Is this why scriptwriters think that it's a good idea to do escalating misunderstanding romantic movies, or movies where she bolts at the altar?

Get the FUCK over it. I retract my statement that both devices suck. This movie was a delight, and plausible too. However, I replace that sentiment with "don't EVEN try it." It's been done crappily too many times since then for me to think it's a sensible risk.
