Kate Winslet was very pretty in a Jessica like way
LOVE THIS!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hee! (Just last night, I was talking about how much I liked Eternal Sunshine, and the person I was talking to leaned in close and asked, "So...was it a hair thing?")

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
didn't you start to wish Jackie Chan would turn up and just twat one of them?
Haven't seen Hero, but I often get this feeling in day-to-day life.
"Can you give me an ETA on that order?"
"No, but Jackie Chan can beat you up with a grocery cart."
"HhhiiiiiiiYAH!" *crash bang splurt carnage bang crash*
"Life is brighter, now."

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What was the general impression of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the house?
Overwhelmingly positive, IIRC. I loved it a lot. "Eternal Sunshine" and "Sideways" are probably my two favorite movies of the year.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Hero was gorgeous, but, despite my penchant for sweeping epic flicks, I don't think I'll ever watch it again.
It was gorgeous. And yes, it started very slow, but I did get caught up, a bit, in the endless revisions of the story. More so in the colors. What color will be next?! Hee.
I really want a screencap of the scene in the red iteration where Snow and Moon are fighting in the forest, and Snow stands with her sword high, and the red robes and the gold leaves -- guh. Just stunning.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I loved "Eternal Sunshine", not least because I could tell my friends that I'd seen, "The something something of the something Mind" and they'd know exactly what I meant. Plus Carrey didn't make me want to lunge through the screen to throttle him, which was something of an acting triumph on his part.

"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
I mean, after the 32nd identical-but-in-different-coloured-silk slo-mo wire-ballet fight didn't you start to wish Jackie Chan would turn up and just twat one of them?
Actually, it made me wish that Zhiang Ziyi would pop up in the next "Rush Hour" or "Shanghai Noon" sequel and kick his hyperactive ass in slow motion while twirling pretty silks in the background.

Bwah! Googling "hero screencap" for Suela, and I ended up here. What a small internet it is...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Heh. *I* ended up on a Stargate Jack site, and kinda got distracted.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I lovedlovedloved Eternal Sunshine. Actually, I felt about it very much the way I felt about Lost in Translation; I can't adequately describe it, but they made me both melancholic and hopeful. And they both ended exactly as I would have wanted them to.
