I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Telling quote from Sarah:

The Grudge ruined me, because it was such a great experience all around. It was one of the greatest casts I’ve ever worked with. It was amazing to be filming in this country where I didn’t speak the language of anyone on the crew, formed some of the deepest bonds I’ve ever formed. I’ve never cried so much at a wrap party. I’ve never even gone to a wrap party. I don’t like them. It was such an intense experience. So it kind of ruined me, because everything now has to compare to that.

Well, I'm glad she's always been classy enough to not say she didn't like working on BtVS. Read between the lines all we like, but she's basically always been politic about it, and that's good. Wise, as well.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

If there's one thing this film does not lack, it's plenty of dick and fart jokes. Not to mention all the vomit

This would be one of the many reasons I've never liked South Park despite several occaisions where friends have told me "Come on, you have to watch this specific episode. It's great!" and I listened to them and ended up disappointed and/or sick to my stomach. Just not my brand of humor.

I’ve never even gone to a wrap party. I don’t like them.

Huh. Weird. What's not to like about a party with good food and drink paid for on someone else's dime?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What's not to like about a party with good food and drink paid for on someone else's dime?

I think they key word is "party." Meaning other people will be there.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Perhaps the room full of people that couldn't speak to her in a language she understands was a way to ease into the whole party thing.

I can't get past the crude animation.

That would kind of make sense. Even I get pretty anti-social.

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

Even I get pretty anti-social.

I think it might be less about being antisocial in general, and more about having to be nice and huggy with people you might well be sick of. Think about after-work happy hours -- they're fun for a while, but then you're just ready to go home.
