Buffy ,'Lessons'
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.
I just saw Sin City today, too. I loved the look but some of the stories went on too long. And the Clive Owen one just kind of ended before I was satisfied. The violence was about what I expected. If it had been realistic in any way I wouldn't have been able to watch. but it wasn't realistic at all.
Trust me. I passed out over the severed finger in The Piano and the boy getting run over by the thresher in The Man In the Moon and the initiation scene in A Man Called Horse.
Saw Beauty Shop last night. Wasn't horrible, wasn't as funny as Barbershop.
Dijmon? Holy fuck is that man beautiful.
meara just dropped me off after the two of us got back from seeing D.E.B.S.
That is an incredibly funny movie. Very silly and fun and incredibly incredibly HOTT, with extremely HOTT girl kissage (though not enough).
Wish I could have gone with you.
Okay, so I saw Showtime's Reefer Madness tonight. It was alright. Far from brilliant, but pretty funny at parts. Alan Cumming was especially funny, as was Amy Spanger, cuz her character kept falling down and walking into things. Kristen Bell was of course great as well, though not as great as she is on Veronica Mars , but I still got really sad when her character died. The S&M scene with Kristen and John Kassir was pretty great. The musical numbers were okay. Most of them weren't very memorable, but they didn't suck. It was a surprisingly bloody movie. It wasn't Kill Bill or Sin City , but it had quite a bit of shootings and chopping up of bodies and also some zombie violence. It had some sex, too, of course. If you're a fan of Christian Campbell's body, you'll probably enjoy this movie.
If you get Showtime, you might wanna consider watching this; it's fairly entertaining, but don't go out of your way to see it - the film's not all that memorable.
Um, okay.
We went and saw Sin City on Friday afternoon. Stylistically gorgeous. Pretty, pretty movie. However, if I watch it again, it will be with the sound off, and Lyra Jane explained why perfectly:
Too bad the script and performances didn't live up to the pretty shiny surfaces. There's a fine line between paying homage to cliches and just being cliched, and I think it ended on the wrong side of that line too often.
If you're a fan of Christian Campbell's body, you'll probably enjoy this movie.
Woo hoo! I knew there was a reason I was eagerly anticipating this thing.
The Guardian Unlimited has a fun piece about best and worst accent mimicking.
