Hudson Hawk is a misunderstood masterpiece. I'll stand by that argument until it's pried from my cold, dead fingers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I loved Fifth Element too. (But I hate carrots.)

An interviewer once mentioned that Luc Besson had referred to the Fifth Element as 1/3 Brazil.

Hey. New board.
I liked the Fifth Element an awful lot. Not purchasing-level liked, but I"ll watch it anytime I see it playing on a TV somewhere, at least for a while.
In other news, I adore carrots.
But I have not seen Resident Evil.

I have the love for The Fifth Element, and not just 'cause of Milla. I'm actually surprised, though I suppose I shouldn't be, that so many people hate it so much. It's so silly and entertaining and shiny and yeah, obviously cribbing from Brazil but without any of the, well, depth, but look over there! Luke Perry!
Okay, so I am easily won over by silly science fiction movies.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I like 5th Element (I think I may actually own it somewhere. I also have an mp3 of the Diva's aria that I heart.). It's so pretty, and looks like a comic book translated directly to film (even the transitions). The plot's rather along the lines of a stereo-typical comic book, too, I suppose, which means campy good fun, in my book.
big bada-boom. hee.

meara-ing:
Hero is great. I have the DVD and am really excited to see it on the big screen. Hepburn/Cary TOTALLY trumps Hepburn/Tracy. I (still) want to see Open Water . The only Milla movie I've seen was Joan of Arc, which sucked, but I think she's super cute.

Hey GC! Long time no see. How's things?
I know this isn't the regular comics thread, but Miracleman hooked me on Powers. I just finished Roleplay, and have to borrow the next book the next time I'm over at his place.
