'Smile Time'
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.
It involved renting an old film from the 40s or 50s, like The Thin Man, and then trying to keep up with the characters whenever they drink. We figured that you'd probably pass out if you even tried it.
Okay, Nick and Nora Charles could drink movie Vikings or Karen Allen's character from Raiders of the Lost Ark under the table. In fact, Peter O'Toole might decide to sit that contest out. Pick your battles wisely, people!
Withnail and I is a good movie to match the charactes drink-for-drink.
"A pair of quadruple whiskeys and another pair of pints please."
The Incredibles is the bestest movie ever and I want to have Brad Bird's children even more than I did before. Joe, Emma and I are going as them next year for Halloween.
Aimee, did you know there's an adorable AA Milne poem called Emmeline?
There is the oh-so-fun LotR Drinking Game.
Joe, Emma and I are going as them
Emma as Jack-Jack!
Joins Aimee and the rest of you all in the Incredibles love. I want to see it again, like now!
Tonight I was seated all the way at the end of the row of Buffistas. This being the second time I'd seen it, there were several moments where I chose to watch everybody's reactions instead of what was on the screen. This was quite entertaining.
We all noted afterward that we Buffistae were almost alone in laughing at the henchman drinking game. It apparently even got us a couple of "why did you seven people all laugh really hard at that?" looks.
The Incredibles was so awesome. I want to see it again, too.
Two of the people who were staring, confused, at the loud laughing group were sitting next to me. Although I spent a lot of time being charmed by the little kids behind me, who had comments throughout the movie like, "Oh! I love that lampshade! That one! I love it so much!" and "Oh my god! Thank you so much mom and dad! Thank you for taking me to this movie! It is so funny! Thank you!" Very cute.
Also, I don't think the stage show received enough appreciation. That was awesome, too. I love Disney. A lot. Even if Belle was part of the chorus singing "Grand Ole Flag." She's in America, now. Maybe she's an expat. She never did have an accent...
Sean! I missed the henchman drinking game. Where was it?
