Wash ,'War Stories'
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.
I keep feeling like I should be ashamed of my shallow movie tastes
Sweetie, one of the criteria for Hubby and I to see movies is whether there cool explosions or witty villains who you hope beat the hero. "Pretty" is a perfectly valid reason to love a movie.
I confess, I watch "Blues Brothers" for the epic car chase.

Henry Gibson's final scene makes it worth it all by itself.
I know I'll see Phantom at some point, and it is the sort of thing that one should see in theatres, but I'll have to figure out a way to silence my inner 12 year-old pedant, because she's going to have issues.

Honestly, that and the music are the best reasons.

It's a shame you can't go to the real movies with two robot side-kicks.
Maybe it's just me, but after the trailer for Kingdom of Heaven I'm a bit torn. On the one hand it looks to be a really good flick, as far as action and drama and whathaveyou. On the other hand, is anyone else tired of the veneer of modern sensibilities people like to put on their period pieces? A movie about the Crusades where the fighting is for "love instead of hate" etc, with no mention of "kill the filthy heathens"? I'm sorry, but if you're a Crusader who's doing the doe-eyed Orlando Bloom thing in the real world, you probably get the medieval equivalent of a wedgie from your fellows every day. Should we really be trying to inject even a little honor into the Crusades, one of the most awful things Christianity ever undertook?
This was most assuredly low blood sugar talking. I haven't eaten yet today. Time to grab some pizza and be less critical of life.

Seriously. Anyone who does so should be forced to run the entirety of Terry Jones' THE CRUSADES series beforehand.

That would be so awesome. I should totally get robot sidekicks. To go with my guard llama.
They can all hang out with my monkey butler.
To go with my guard llama.
So would the guard llama run the higher functions of the ship?
