None of those movies shall ever top Hudson Hawk.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

Hudson Hawk is a GREAT movie.
I love it, yes I do.

They had me at the Crucifix intercom system.

I saw Before Sunset last night. Completely agree with the people who loved it. It was one of the few times in my movie watching career that as I'm thinking, "Here. The movie should end right here," it actually fades to black. That never happens! Great performances by Ethan Hawke (who I usually don't like) and Julie Delpy and the conversation was much better than the original (which I also enjoyed). It was also the most romantic movie I've seen in theaters in a year or two.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Teppyyyyyy!!! My sistaaaah! Neither did I! high-five of philistinosity
I double sniff disdainfully in your general direction.
Hey, I *watched* Rushmore AND The Royal Tenenbaums, so I'm not dismissing them out of hand (consider them, if you will, my cinematic white whales). I just seem to be sliding into Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel-ness.

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 also don't share the Rushmore love. I just thought the kid was annoying.
I was once on a music mailing list--there was this really cool woman there who said that she'd never date anyone who didn't think that Rushmore was one of the best movies ever made.

I sort of agree with her. Well, I would have agreed with her a few years ago, now the movie doesn't mean quite as much to me. (I still think it's great, though.)
ETA: I think what has really changed is that in the past I used to think if people I met didn't like certain books, music, movies that had had a big impact on me, then they weren't people I could relate to, but over the past few years I've come to think that that's bullshit.

Maybe I should give Rushmore another chance. Just so, you know, that I can get laid.

It's the underlying melancholy. Gets (some of) us every time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've been wanting to. Both the former, and the latter, though not always as part of a causative argument.

This is why people love Lost in Translation too, isn't it? Maybe I like my melancholy more overlying.
