Movies watched lately, all three enjoyed very much: Monsoon Wedding, Bad Santa, and Kill Bill Vol. 2.
Must now seek out this flick called The Apple that keeps popping into your conversations. I sense that I should be very, very askerred.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Hey. New board.
I can't be the only one that, every time The Apple is mentioned, imagines a very bad horror movie starring a lampshade iMac with fangs. And possibly acid for blood.
Can I?

I've not yet seen the movie, but from past descriptions I always assumed it was what you'd get if you smashed The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Xanadu and The Bible together at high speed.
Though perhaps The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told would work as a combination of those last two.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That pretty much nails it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I totally agree with Plei on Harold and Kumar. One of the best movies I've seen all year.
Whee!
It was a lot of fun.

I haven't seen Garden State yet, but H&K was one of the most accurate depictions of New Jersey that I've seen on film.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Alex: Would you ever consider bidding for the X-Men 3 helming duty now that Bryan Singer is tied up with Superman
Guillermo: Alex, I hear that Joss Whedon is doing it and as a fan I think that's perfect. I think that the character I love the most in the X-Men mythology is Beast, so it's too close to Hellboy for comfort

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh.
The Passion Of The Christ star Jim Caviezel may be ready to sign a deal to star as Superman in the long-awaited new film Superman Returns. The hunky actor - who movingly portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial epic - is said to be very close to an agreement with studio Warner Bros. despite his agent's recent insistence the part had not yet been offered to him. Big name stars such as Jude Law, Josh Hartnett and Brendan Fraser have already been offered, and turned down, the role. However, according to respected comic book author Mark Miller, Caviezel's participation is all but guaranteed. He writes, "You remember I told you to relax about Superman? That a very, very trusted and experienced director we'd all love was coming over? That everything would be fine? Well, my same good buddy has informed me that Jim Caviezel is officially the new man of steel and what a perfect choice he is. Expect an announcement shortly."

Maybe they'll just film Kingdom Come.
And isn't it Millar?
