25 really doesn't seem young to me
It wouldn't seem as young to me if it wasn't Tom Welling's age.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Just finished watching Saved!
Loved it and shall own it.

Hey. New board.
Loved it and shall own it
Yummy. Haven't watched the commentary yet, but it's one of the many things vying for my attention this weekend (along with the latest Veronica Mars, Joan of Arcadia, and Lost.)
Will mention (for the fifth time. at least.) now, that I watched it 6-7 times this summer. The last time I watched it, I tried to read (some really good Harry Potter fanfic), but put down the reading about 10 minutes in to watch again.

Saw A Home at the End of the World last night. Good, but not spectacular. What really surprised me was Colin Farrell - he put in a moving and subtle performance, something I wasn't entirely sure he was capable of. I'm looking forward to Alexander with slightly less trepidation now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jars--I thought the film didn't quite jell, but still found it very moving in parts and worth watching. I totally agree with you on CF. He is also impressive in Tigerland.

I totally agree with you on CF. He is also impressive in Tigerland.
And the only thing worth watching in Minority Report.
I'll be watching Alexander, but mainly because at least they kept the whole slept-with-guys-too part.

They have awful posters. Really bad. I'm assuming that contract negotiations led to the floating head nature of them, and not because anyone overly liked the aesthetics.

If I only had a brain...
Was the tragic hair contractually specified as well?

I'll be awtching it, just 'cuz, but I've already mentioned in Bitches that it's bound to bug the living crap out of me, because the preview features a line by CF's Alexander talking about "uniting the lands and freeing the people," and I hate, hate, HATE this trope in historical epics SO MUCH!
Nobody back then gave a flying fuck about freeing the people, especially not Alexander. I really hate historical epics making all previous empires into America wannabes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. I am thinking, generally speaking, that conquering countries with a shockingly powerful army in the name of "freedom" is mega-stupid.
Oh, wait.
I saw Dirty Pretty Things this morning. In the middle, I was afraid it would turn into Sister Carrie on film, but then it didn't, and I was happy. I really liked the lead, and his Chinese mortuary asssitant friend. I had forgotten it was a Stephen Frears movie till I saw the credit, and then I got to the end and thought, "This is exactly the sort of movie Stephen Frears would make."
