Cary Elwes was also good in Ella Enchanted. But that was kind of farcical.

I adore The Grinch. It's the best Christmas half hour ever spent.

Surprisingly, like P-C, I simply adored Moulin Rouge, including Nicole. I love it. Yet, when I rewatch, I tend to skip over a lot of the scenes on speed at the begining. And I really love playing with the extras, where you can edit the Roxanne scene yourself. So fun.

Thank you, Matt, for articulating so well the problems I too had with Bridget 2. And I'd add that I hated having to feel embarrassed for Bridget, and I hated feeling like I should watch from the hall, and I really hated that they made her look really plain. There was NO reason for her to be splotchy and basically makeup-less throughout the movie, or for her hair to look as though it never gets brushed, ever. Also, it looked as though Renee had been on some sort of crazy salt diet. She looked puffy, not like she just had a few extra pounds. She looked unhealthy. It was disappointing.

And I'm done being superficial, for now.

Go, JZ!

once Emmett saw Harpo pick the same five dollars out of the same man's pocket three times and then steal his sock, he was good and hooked

That's one of my favorite scenes in that movie, too.

Got out of the shower this morning to hear Emmett in full belly laugh, watching the Marx Brothers again creating mayhem at the race track.

I owe my wife a toaster.

Had consecutive viewings of Y Tu Mama Tambien and A Home At The End of the World this week.

I was surprised by the similarities between them and that I liked Home so much better, despite all the terrible things I'd heard about it. (Colin's Hair! Saptastica!)

Not sure why, but Y Tu Mama, which I really wanted to love, just made me crushingly sad...from the very beginning.

Perhaps a rewatch is in order...

For me, I guess the difference was that I really sympathized with Farrell's and Spacek's characters in the latter and could at least empathize somewhat with the others, whereas I just wanted to slap (or pistol whip) the idiocy out of all the characters in the former.

Well there you have it!

If I'd had been at all articulate, my thoughts would have been Matt's.

I know it's a minority opinion round here, but I really love Y Tu Mama Tambien. It just works for me.

Wait, that's the minority opinion round here?

Woo, I'm in the majority!

Ah, good old Y Tu Mama Tambien, with the anvilly preachy voiceovers.

Honestly, a big part of why I didn't like the movie was that it had been hyped as this great deep, moving art film, when, basically, it was just Threesome set in Mexico.

I loathed the voiceovers. They seemed to be telling me that if I was paying attention to the plot of the movie, I was Missing The Big Picture. And if there's anything I dislike more than pointless narration, it's condescending pointless narration. Feh.
