'Dirty Girls'
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.
The most annoying thing about the Star Wars movies is the fact that the people they get to make the trailers are so much better at their craft than George Lucas.
The new Episode 3 trailer is actually quite interesting. Mostly because it consists primarily of Alec Guinness talking and Darth Vader breathing, both things that resonate deep in my Good Scienc Fiction Movies heart.
I'm in the mood to go to the movies tonight--do I go see Ray, Alfie, or The Incredibles?
The Incredibles. Give it up for Pixar.
I'm heading off to see Finding Neverland. Has anyone seen it yet? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Very good, if you like movies where Johnny Depp looks painfully gorgeous and will make you cry.

Weirdly enough, I do like movies where Johnny Depp looks painfully gorgeous and makes me cry.
Good-oh. I'll bring the tissues then.
do I go see Ray, Alfie, or The Incredibles?
Of these, I've only seen Incredibles, but it was absolutely amazing, so I strongly recommend it.
Best chick flicks of all time, where "chick flicks" seems to be defined more as something containing the phrase "female empowerment." Catwoman is nowhere to be found.
"Notorious," directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Oh, right. Where Cary Grant's contempt for Ingrid Bergman's sex life nearly gets her killed. Rock on, the empowered woman!
Pretty Woman? Notorious? Argh.
I love Notorious, but I wouldn't consider it a female empowerment movie. And Pretty Woman makes me want to vomit.
