'Lineage'
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.
Okay, Resident Evil lovers, why??
Nutty, did you miss the part where I mentioned I'm a giant fan of the video games?
This is one of those my-love-of-this-movie -has-nothing-to-do -with-anything-rational-or-any-normal -movie-judging-criteria -of-any-kind things.
I do hate the carefree-woman-liberates-stuffy-man genre
My least favorite is Crazy Person Is Saner Than The Rest Of Us.
Hmm. I mostly agree, and yet, one of my very favorite movies is Harold and Maude, which could arguably fit into both categories.
Resident Evil, well, it didn't suck as much as I expected it to! But there is much I will forgive for Milla. Probably too much. She and Kate Winslet tip my Kinsey scale, ooh baby. And her album's pretty good too--she has a kind of Kate Bush-esque thing going on.
Okay, and having asked about The Apple over in F2F, I have now read Jess's description and oh! I must see this movie.
Well, also, I hate Milla Jovovich with the passion of a thousand fiery clambakes.
I can understand indifference to, or not really caring for, but how in the hell could she ever inspire that much hatred?
Of course, I've heard her album, and she does have a damn fine singing voice; very Kate Bush, actually. So I may be pro-biased. The fact that she pulls the crazy while singing? Just icing.
Event Horizon was a great concept (i.e. Solaris as a horror movie), but then they just made an outer space Hellraiser out of it.

Three words -- The Fifth Element.
Sean, your hyphenated enthusiasm is making the board scrolly.
Three words -- The Fifth Element.
Two words -- Bruce Willis.
Two more -- Chris Tucker.
I had no hate left over.
Is that better, Jessica? I edited it, but it never scrolled in my browsers, so I can't tell if I fixed it.
I LOVED the Fifth Element. Mostly because I'm the hugest sucker EVER, actively like Chris Tucker in a dress, don't care one way or the other about Bruce Willis (part-dependent), and saw it late at night.
Three words -- The Fifth Element.
Huh. Found it tacky, Euro-trash fun, and Milla was hardly the most annoying thing in it.
Two words: Chris. Tucker.
Hell, I usually love Gary Oldman, and he was far more obnoxious than Milla. It's a tie between his accent and his hair as far as to what grated most.
eta, and heh on partially word-for-word x-post with ita.
It's still too wide for mine (1024x768). If there were a break after "criteria," it would be perfect.
I had no hate left over.
Lucky for Gary Oldman.
How's it now, Jessica? I'm experimenting with something transparent.
Lucky for Gary Oldman.
OMG. So dead to me since Dracula. Didn't even remember he was in the movie.
