Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
I wish Surviving Christmas ranked a little more than 8% at Rotten Tomatoes. I swear the trailer looked funny.
Did anyone read the "review" of The Machinist in last week's EW? Didn't really discuss the movie, but instead took Bale to task for losing all that weight when there are hungry people in the world.
Very odd, and not at all relevant.
Dude, maybe some of those same hungry people benefited from all the food he wasn't eating during filming?

Yeah. Their critics are usually pretty good, so I'm assuming that what it means is that the movie is so dull that it was the only thing the writer could find to say about it. Either that, or the writer has Issues.
What if the thing that spared her was a unique, irreproducible sequence of events and her creepy little boy still gets to be the recipient of Samara's GotchaVision broadcast?
Aaaaagh. Freaky.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud.
Aaaaagh. Freaky.
Yeah. I know if I were in her shoes, we would've left on a family excursion scheduled so that Samara would have to drag her clammy ass several hundred miles from the nearest television screen on Day 7.

One of my co-workers saw it last night and said it was really awful. My response of "But it has James Gandolfini hitting Ben Affleck with a shovel!" was met with blank stares from all but one person.
Who was the EW Machinist critic, btw? I haven't read the review yet, but I'm curious.
My response of "But it has James Gandolfini hitting Ben Affleck with a shovel!"
That's my entire reason for wanting to see it, I think. I'm shocked to see how much it's reviled. The trailer has some mildly funny bits, and that comedy gold.
I think they should reshoot the movie so it's just 100 minutes of Gandolfini beating the crap out of Affleck using assorted methods.
What the music guy actually means Don't Look Now.
hangs head in filmic shame

ita, I saw that. And I was a little miffed that Lisa Schwarzbaum described my weight as "skeletal."
