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.

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

Just watched The Big Chill for the first time in an eon. I used to love that movie, but I had a feeling that I wouldn't like it anymore. Like, a while after I saw it I started to look at it as sort of excusing yuppies selling out or something.

But I found I still like it a lot. Even if the two characters I relate to most are Alex and Nick....

Oh. Not the Bogart movie. Took me a little bit to figure that out. Was having trouble parsing yuppies and Bogie.

Hey. New board.

I love Mean Girls.

I never once saw the trailer.

And the DVD is pink.

If I only had a brain...

The dance in the kitchen is one of my favorite pieces of film ever.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Haven't been here in ages...not seeing many movies. but I did just see The Incredibles and liked it. But I hated being in a theatre with small children.

I have a plan.

I saw The Aviator tonight. Long movie but deserves all the accolades it gets.

We just made Jilli watch Dodgeball.

While the movie remains a surreal laugh riot, it's even better watching Jilli watch it.

Especially when you get to the stuff at the very end of the credits and she puts her hands over her eyes to defend herself from what's on screen.

"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 didn't realize until the other day that Christine Taylor is actually married to Ben Stiller. Which explains much, and takes away a lot of the creepiness of his characters always being hot for hers.

"It's got to be the hair, Cotton. It's beautiful! Feathered and lethal. You just don't see it nowadays." Pepper Brooks - Dodgeball

Dodge Ball is a brilliant movie - of course, my entire family are rabid about Ben Stiller (down to having the Ben Stiller show on DVD; my husband and I were two of the perhaps six people who actually watched it on Fox, and now it's our youngest son's "comfort" watching).

Part of it's brilliance is that it has two actors from Galaxy Quest (which cast members seem to work together in other projects to an incestuous degree). Not that I'm obsessed about Galaxy Quest, or anything. ;-D
