I had some issues with early Violet hair, just because the way she was wearing it was so Samara (from The Ring).
Still my favorite Incredible, though, creepy vibes and all.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

You weren't alone in making that connection, NovaChild. Seeing the movie made me resolve that if I ever play a super-hero themed RPG again, I'm going to create a Ghost Girl character in that mold with appropriately creepy powers.

Violet was totally Teen Titans' Raven. I keep wanting to call her Raven.

"Casablanca," which was No. 1 on AFI's list of best love stories
But Casablanca wasn't really a love story. I honestly have no idea why those two were in love with each other. I mean, I was told again and again that they were, and that this seemed to have happened in Paris, and they had some chemistry, but I honestly never saw the love. And then I was creeped out by the whole "think for me" thing. And then there was the completely gay ending, but I felt like that gay love story wasn't really featured as it should have been, in order to be called a love story.
Whatever. I realize my opinion of Casablanca is the minority opinion.

Yes, Casablanca is a love story, but it's not a love story between Rick and Ilsa, it's a love story between Rick and Captain Renault, but because of the era it was made in, it's very much in the closet.

If nothing else, I like it because it set up Bergman's character as a type to be made fun of by Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not before she and Bogie showed moviegoers what a love story was REALLY like.

Hell, Claude Rains even has a line along the lines of "If I was a woman, I would be very much in love with Rick".

Hmm. I have never seen this. I am hesitant to do so, simply because I've heard so many great things about it. And for some reason, when it comes to classic movies, when I go in expecting something good, I am inevitably disappointed. See: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, etc.

To Have and Have Not rocks like a thing that rocks. Bogie and Bacall--damn.
