You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The second half of the book is much more adult, and I have no need to see it on a screen.
Is the second half of the book the same thing as the second movie?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The Dark Crystal scared the bejeesus out of me when I was little.

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.
It's been years and years since I've seen The Dark Crystal so I can't remember anything about it beyond that the puppets freaked me out. Even the supposedly cute main characters.
- Never saw Magnolia
- Liked Mars Attacks though there were parts I found dumb
- Never saw Time Bandits
- Remember liking Neverending Story a lot as a kid. Haven't seen it in ages, though.
- Love Groundhog Day
- Like Troy for the fights and whatnot (Hector vs. Ajax is my personal favorite) but beyond Sean Bean's Odysseus it doesn't have much else going for it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw Kinsey last night. It wasn't bad, but it was kind of disappointing. I wish they'd had the budget to put more of the story in a historical context, because as it is, the whole thing exists in kind of a vacuum. (I normally hate it when biopics give characters lines like "You can't [insert thing they can't do], this is [insert year]!" but in this case, it really would have helped, since I had no idea when anything was taking place.)

I called Neverending Story The Never Ending Movie and walked out with my two best friends. I was 12.

Is the second half of the book the same thing as the second movie
Aimee is the best person to ask about that, but if I remember her vehement venom correctly, I'd say the answer is no.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I have dim memories of being "meh" about Neverending Story. I haven't seen Magnolia and don't really want to. I haven't seen Troy and probably will rent it at some point.
My most hated movies are Oliver Stone's Nixon and Ron Howard's The Grinch. Either one ignites molar-endangering loathing when I see as much as a film clip. Nixon is the reason I won't be seeing the Alexander the Great movie that Stone directed, so I'm thrilled to hear that Lurhman has one in the works.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ron Howard's The Grinch.
Oh! Yes. This too. Oh God. The pain. I stayed far, far away from The Cat in the Hat.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I adore The Neverending Story far beyond reason. Atreyu was one of my first crushes (along with Disney's Robin Hood--yes, the fox). Haven't read the book yet, but I keep intending to, and from what I know, it bears not even the slightest bit of resemblance to the second movie, which is godawful.
