Oh, it's not a bad movie -- just not the movie to see when you're trying to forget that you may have to have a beloved pet euthanized. . .what with the euthenasia at the end of the film.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

So over the weekend, I took a friend of mine to see Phantom of the Opera. (She's been having a bad time lately, and needed something silly and over-the-top.) Near the end of the movie, when Christine is trying to Make Her Decision (insert dramatic cheese-o-riffic music here), my friend leans over and whispers in my ear "Pikachu! I choose you!"

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

I loved her recap. And the icons that people have made for it.
Oh, I need an animated LJ Phantom icon that has "Pikachu! I choose you!" scrolling across it. Pity I don't know how to make such things.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And I have a shiny new icon with that phrase! So funny.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. One of the partners here just called me to alert me to the local Film Noir festival that starts next week. We've bonded over noir.

Always Anti-fascist!
Wow, I'm getting excited by that in a morally ambiguous sort of way.Cause, you know, noir.

'Sfunny, on my way home tonight I was just thinking how I need to put together a music mix titled Mood Music for Moral Ambiguity.

We have them at our house all the time, thanks to the GF's twin obsessions of DVDs and noir. It pretty much rules.

OK, I'm just a big Soderbergh fangirl, but I really liked Ocean's Twelve. Mainly for all the self-referential, intertextual stuff. Julia Roberts meta-text. She's even pregnant! Thief and lady law-enforcer who have the hots for each other. Mega-thief played by Albert Finney. Brad Pitt still eating in most of his shots. Topher Grace playing himself being an asshole. If you've been paying attention, it's really rather rewarding.
So it's not world-shattering stuff. I had fun. And Clooney still looks good (and not quite 50 yet).
