Hey! Stoned Philosophy grad students are people too!
Also a key ingredient in Soylent Green Edge.
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.

If Buffistas were the kind of people who liked pretty boys tarted up and androgynous they might be interested in this tip:
Well, there is also Pedro Almodóvar, who has been channeling Fassbinder and Douglas Sirk in a really beautiful, interesting way. He captures something that may not be quite glamour, but has an emotional grandeur and dignity that melodrama used to have. He has "Bad Education" coming out this fall, another in his series of brilliant melodramas, with Gael García Bernal, sometimes in drag, as a troubled young man who was molested by a priest as a child.
I'm going to give the Blockbuster online movie rental thing a try, if for no other reason than that it's free for two weeks and the trial comes with two little e-coupons for free in-store rentals RIGHT NOW (and once a month from now on, which is cool.)
I'll let you know how it compares to Netflix. Selection seems just as good, or damned close at least, so service and delivery speed will be the big test.
I think I'm going to go rent the first disc of Six Feet Under Season 2 right now.
I have Waking Life somewhere in my queue at Netflix. I have no doubt in my mind that after hearing you guys talk about it, that I will either fall asleep or give up halfway through. I'm okay with that.
Last night I watched Henry: Portrait Of a Serial Killer, which, if nothing else, definitely took my mind off my current emotional state of dumped-ness.
I'm watching The Cell on USA. So far the freakiest thing (besides the spider) is Vincent D'nofrio's blonde hair.
I fucking hated The Cell.

Oh, {{{Alicia}}}!
If anyone's interested, there's some excellent footage of Sin City from Comic Con available here. Looks pretty good, although I'm having some problems seeing Josh Hartnett as a film noir anti-hero, no matter how pretty he is in B&W.
I saw Jersey Girl last night. first kevin smith movie i've ever liked. that probably makes me a freak. i'm okay with that.
I have concluded that somebody in my town must have the Blockbuster Movie Pass thing (same rules as Netflix, etc, only you get the movies from the store), rented Volume 1 of Six Feet Under Season 2, and has had it for the last month. Because every single time I've gone there since coming home (which has been fairly regularly - this town is really boring), it's not been there.
Oh well.
t trots off to watch 13 Going On 30
ETA: This movie is a continues SQUEE-fest.
