There's Christian Bale, to keep it topical.

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.

Art Crawl!!!
I think he's been mentioned.
How old was Michael J. Fox when he was on that sitcom whose title I cannot remember?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Family Ties, and it started when he was 21.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
How much do I love my library? Free DVD borrowing. You get them for 2 days, and can only renew them once. However, you can't put a reserve on movies, so you have a guaranteed renewal for 2 more days.
Ha! I can get them for 7 days, with up to two renewals. The downside is that they don't seem to have anything later than 1964, for some reason. I haven't looked THAT hard, tho. Oh, yeah, and a $1/day late fee, but no more than a total of $4.

Because books.

I think Michael J. Fox was on Canadian TV as a kid, or at least as a teenager, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Finally saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the Little Indie That Could. There's not much ridiculously fantastic about it, but it's a nice movie about culture clash (and not too different from my own situation). Bend It Like Beckham is better, though. There's far more going on in that one; here there's pretty much one plot and a teeny weeny subplot. And I think I like John Corbett as Aidan better. He's too schmoopy here.
Now I'm going to watch Ginger Snaps.

Yeah, they made him too damn perfect. But I was happy because he was my imaginary boyfriend in high school. And how much did I want to be Carrie Bradshaw the year that she had him and Big to choose from?? Very, very, much. Although me as Carrie is pretty funny, if you knew what my closet looked like.

Up with the sun
I thought K-PAX was okay. Better than David Gale, which has the Most Ridiculous Twist Ending Ever.
I did not much careforMy Big Fat.... I mean, there's nothing really WRONG with it, it's just (IMNSHO) a 90-minute pilot for a sitcom I wouldn't watch. (and, in fact,nobody watched.) It might have been a victim of its own hype, though.

I liked it a lot, but it's not...art.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
K-PAX made me want to create new orifices in people with sporks.
Big fuzzy bailout movie.
