'Jaynestown'
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.
Not to mention that Miller should get some props in there somewhere for having done the drawings that Rodriguez chose to emulate
Well, if I was giving props for creating the visuals, I'd give them to Miller. But I'm not. Rodriguez's insistence on sticking to source material is reflected in the adherence to visuals, and in making sure Frank Miller was right up in the project.
For that I give Robert props. Doesn't take anything away from Miller -- his good works are other.
Sure, just get all specific and stuff.

She's tricksy like that.
Hayden,cool! Can you believe the HFQ?!(Dude, it's a gritty show and I was manifestly surprised,I thought there could be an upgrade, profanity-wise.) And I want it in my obit that I taught David Simon the expression HSQ although he's been applying the skill for a very long time. Been watching season 2 again, but stopped for a bit because Frank Sobatka makes me cry like a little girl. Guess I need crimping up, still. Maybe it was even "HMFSHQ" Damn, that's The Bomb. I've done everything I can do but get on my knees to save it...would that be solicitation...Levy would know. "I'm like a marriage counselor...here so he remembers to bring flowers and she remembers to suck a little cock." It would be funny, if not terribly productive, if Simon brings a bouquet to the next sit-down with the brass.
Quentin was there just to be Quentin, I imagine.
From IMDB about this:
Robert Rodriguez scored Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) for $1. Quentin Tarantino said he would repay him by directing a segment of this movie for $1. Tarantino, a vocal proponent of film-over-digital, has said that he was curious to get hands-on experience with the HD cameras which Rodriguez lauds. When asked about his experience, Tarantino merely replied, "Mission Accomplished."
There was one beat the mean streets of Balmer couldn't prepare Simon for, Hayden. Fandom. There's no Kevlar for that, bunk. Reaction to Specific Major Plot Point? Majorly crazy...
Sean, did you see it at the theater? Or online? Because I want to know what it looks like on the big screen.
Not Sean, but I saw a preview on the big screen before THE AVIATOR and it looked effing amazing. I think my entire verbal reaction was "Oh HELL yeah!" followed by a full-on laugh of appreciation.
Or Buffista Movies IV: Straight To Video?
Ooh, I like this.
erika and Hayden pimpage has moved The Wire up on the list of must-own DVD sets.
I have been by Frank Miller's apartment to pick up art from him. t /comic book namedropping

But I bet you haven't been to Robert Rodriguez's.

No, but I did shake hands with Jack Kirby which is way more important to me.
::tries to think of Hollywood name-dropping options. Fails.::
I had breakfast with Scrappy and she's met all kinds of Movie Stars!
Also, my ex-roommate, totally smoked a doobie with William Hurt.
