Anya ,'Empty Places'
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.
Besides, I can't accept a portrayal of a fascist society as deep and thoughtful if it's also clearly in favor of said society and ultra-militant machismo, as that movie seemed to be to me.
I have to say that I think ST is anti-fascist society. What finally pushed me to that conclusion? Dougie Howser dressed as a Nazi.
Um, "Alien Nation"?
Oh that was another good one, erika.
No mention of the Nick Roeg version of The Man Who Fell To Earth
SMACKS OWN FOREHEAD
Talk about intellectual sci-fi. If P-C thinks Brazil is obtuse...
eta I should make clear I LOVE The Man Who Fell to Earth.
I liked it a lot and science fiction...I don't know. Despite my early start at being a Star Wars geek, I find it hard to connect with sometimes.
So, Catwoman.
It's really bad. Really really bad.
Yay! I can't wait!
Jess, why do you put yourself through these things? Are you punishing yourself for something?

It was so she could warn us. She took one for the team. Threw herself on a life hand-grenade. So to speak.
I sacrifice myself so that others may be warned.
Stay far far away from this movie. It's so bad.
And if staying away isn't an option, I suggest a simple drinking game:
Every time Halle giggles nervously, take a drink. I promised that by the time the bad CGI arrives, you'll be too drunk to notice.
