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.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

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?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Diamond shoes a little too tight?
And this champagne has totally gone flat. My life is agony.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
It's funny how Colin's persona often overshadows the fact that he really is an excellent actor.
I haven't been to the movies in forever. I want to go. I have plans to see a double feature of In Good Company and Elektra with my best friend when I get back to LA, but she has a tendency to flake. Which kind of bites. I wish my mom was feeling up to a movie, but the weather is making her feel like never leaving the house, ever. Which is understandable, really. And yet... I want to go see a movie.

Go by yourself - it is the sign of a self-confident person that he or she can attend a movie by his/herself.
I've done it many times and never felt like a loser. At all.

I adore going to the movies by myself. I can slouch down in my seat and cackle to myself at obscure bits only I think are funny or sigh foolishly without anyone asking why.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Going to the movies with friends is fun, but I love to go alone too, and I find I usually get more out of a movie if I see it by myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love seeing cheesy movies by myself, because I can just love them and not worry if the other person thinks they suck.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I used to go to movies by myself all the time. Now I have limited time and cash for movies and limited time to hang with friends, so I combine the two a lot more. But I sometimes feel I can lose myself in a movie more effectively when I'm by myself than when I'm sitting next to Buddy A or Friend B. In the latter cases there's always a little part of me aware of their reactions to the movie.
