Eeeeks! And, funny!
I was forced to watch the Exorcist II last year. Slept through most of it, which is really the only way it makes any sense. Giant locusts? Kai Wynn? Oy.
'The Message'
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.

What, is this the equivalent of freezing your lobster so it doesn't suffer before you boil it?
We just stroke them on the head.
I'm not stroking my gin. Spilling it all over the counter, maybe, but not stroking it.
I stroke my tequila and fondle my rum. I like the intimacy.
I occasionally lick my brandy off my fingers, but that's because I spill it while walking from the pantry to my chair. (On the first glass, too. How humiliating.)
I love the New York Times' film reviewers. From today, on Closer:
"The only one who succeeds is Mr. Owen, whose volcanic charisma is hedged - and to some extent subverted - by a flash of rugged wit. Faced with such a rival, Mr. Law wisely declines to defend the "Sexiest Man Alive" title recently conferred on him by the discerning folks at People magazine. Instead, he dismantles the smooth, ingratiating persona that has brought him to the brink of being a movie star and in the process reclaims his legitimacy as a nimble and clever actor."
hee.
I cannot WAIT to see this movie!
You're familiar with the play aren't you Robin? I just want to be sure there are no ususpecting viewers who expect a feel-good experience.
The SF Chronicle today said it's a good movie, but Julia Roberts sucks the energy out of every scene she's in. And that Clive Owen and Natalie Portman are excellent.
