I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

imagines battle scene set to "Tainted Love"...

Sounds like it would have improved TROY and ALEXANDER. Maybe throw in "Don't You Want Me" and "Just Can't Get Enough" (the latter definitely for Alexander), maybe?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

In other words, you want A Knight's Tale only set at Thermopylae?

('Gates of Heaven' is a wrong translation -- it is in fact much closer to Hot Gates, seriously.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I didn't watch Daredevil because, eww, Ben Affleck as a superhero, but Premiere magazine tells me the sequel, Elektra, will NOT have The Affleck but instead have Goran Visnjic, a.k.a. Hot Doc Luka, on board as Garner's love interest. Man, I might have to watch that one.

BTW, has anyone seen The Time of the Wolf? Premiere listed it as one of the best flicks of the year and I haven't even *heard* of the movie, let alone seen it. I don't think it came to play where I live. I mean, Isabelle Huppert. An apocalypse. The creepy. What's not to love?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Goran Visnjic is criminally attractive. Damn, this means I have to see Electra now.

"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

The person who printed that user review is pretty off-base thinking that a French audience would be more likely to take offense art a horse's death than an American one, though. Last time I checked, there weren't places here where you can have horse as the entree.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Daredevil had one thing going for it. Colin Farrell. And I'm not even a fan of the man.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was all set to see Elektra for free, but the screening's in the middle of the day. t pout

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I thought Garner was good as Elektra. Much more credible as a fighter than Affleck, that's for sure. Colin was the funstuff though. His peanut kill on the airplane was beautiful.

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

Colin was well worth a matinee viewing, and don't leave before the end of the credits.

Or translate that into rental-speak.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was all set to see Elektra for free, but the screening's in the middle of the day.

Diamond shoes a little too tight?
