Isn't "decent fart joke" an oxymoron?
Anyway, I saw The Forgotten. I liked it a lot, but I can't say much about it without spoiling folks. It reminded me of a (probably not spoilery comparison to... something esle) X-Files episode. But a good one.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Up with the sun
I want to see both Shaun of the Dead and The Forgotten. Will probably see Shaun first, i think I need a laugh.
Last night I watched Blue Car. My god, is that an annoying movie. It's one of those films where nothing good (or especially interesting) ever happens and no one ever smiles and you're supposed to say, "oooh, how true to life." And they killed the one interesting character for no particular reason halfway through themovie, too.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Sweet mother of Moses, they're actually showing A Dirty Shame in Salt Lake. Those of you in the area, we're going to overrun Tuesday the 28th's 7:00 showing at the Tower Theater.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can see that Infernal Affairs has opened in NY. Does anyone know when it'll reach LA?

Now I have to get a region free DVD player and order Spaced from amazon UK. Damn the funny British and their zombie movies.

Saw Dirty Shame tonight, and I have to say I wasn't nearly as impressed as I expected to be. When Johnny Knoxville does a better acting job than the leads, you know something is wrong.
I have to give the previews credit for making me want to go see Seed of Chucky though. I'd seen an earlier trailer that made me want to avoid it like the plague, but today's implied that Jennifer Tilly is going to both voice the evil female doll and play herself as a victim. And the trailer ends with Chucky apparently driving Brittney Spears off the road to her fiery demise, with John Waters snapping a photo of it and saying, "God bless the little people!"
The studio sure knows how to make me want to see a picture.

I dunno - the "film within a film" premise kinda scares me.

I know I've been among those who've laughed at funny gaffes when movie titles are translated into foreign languages. But every once in a while, they get it just right.
