Hey, thanks for reminding me of Where the Heart Is.

I heart the 1990 film of the same name with Dabney Coleman, Uma Thurman, Suzi Amis and Crispin Glover. Talk about quirk. With trompe l'oil paintings and found object fashion designing. And thank you Netflix. I haven't seen it in years but it's at the top-o-my queue now.

Ahem, my queue will never reach the strength of ita's, but it has pluck.

Speaking of same.

Given that I loved the first season of 24 until Lou Diamond Phillips bit it , and I liked the second season very much all except for the sacrificial death I saw coming a mile away, and the Blast From the Past homage, is the 3rd season worth renting?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Don't knock Where the Heart Is. I love it. I think it is awesome.

Wrod.

By edgy and SJP do you mean her movie work?

Yeah, I was thinking of the Mamet thingie and L.A. Story and Ed Wood. None of those were all that edgy, really, but they also weren't Action Babe #57 roles.

Also, I see SaTC as somewhat edgy, for a sitcom.

(And I loved the first two books of HDM, but the God/Church stuff got pretty tedious for me in the last one, so for that selfish reason I don't care that New Line is making then take it out. But I don't like allegory, generally.)

Thank you, Lilty.

Re: ELF-- is it possible to adopt the baby Will Ferrell actor? And keep him as a baby forever? Because he was too cute for words. And I don't particularly want him to grow up into Will Ferrell, since one is enough for me.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Huh. I just saw the ad for Phantom of the Opera again, and the love theme isn't even used in the ad. So my recall of it this morning seems even mroe remarkable to me.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has been confirmed for a release date exactly one year from today. The voice of Aslan will be Brian Cox. Rock.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oooh, nice. Not James Earl Jones-nice, perhaps, but I can see him having a "been there, done that, hakuna matata!" reaction anyway.

Also, Willy Wonka trailer. I have no idea what to think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I'm scared.

But that's par for the Burton/Dahl/Depp course.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have no idea what to think.

Not enough Oompa Loompas.

In the trailer, at least.
