Jayne ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
he'll be boozing and she'll be abusing Valium and they'll both be neglecting their (unplanned) kids within scant years.
Considering the aforementioned exit via flying convertible, a gritty socially realistic turnout for those two kids may be a bit much to expect.

Another iconic 80's movie: Purple Rain.
Trey and Matt = good. Michael Bay = bad. Trey and Matt talking about Michael Bay = priceless.
I never saw the appeal of Grease, myself. Well, not when I was younger. I can watch it now, and appreciate it, but, yeah, growing up in Salt Lake, every girl and every girl's parents thought that movie was the be all and end all of movies. Hell, I knew a guy and girl who got together in 6th grade JUST BECAUSE their names were Danny and Sandy. (Actually, it was Samantha, so I thought it was a bit of a stretch.) I also find amusement in the fact that they're touting this as being of good morals, when Rizzo does her "Better to fuck than be a tease or a bitch" song.

I loathe The Fifth Element. Every second of that film is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
All I remember about that movie was how terrible it was - thankfully I've repressed all actual memories of the movie itself. Poor Gary Oldman. And I think Bruce Willis was good in Moonlighting, but hasn't really done anything interesting since then. He might appear in interesting stuff, but his acting style is tired. When I think of Pulp Fiction or Die Hard, I think of Samuel L. Jackson or Alan Rickman, not him. He's not bad but he's nothing special.
Iconic 80s Movies: Dirty Dancing. Princess Bride.
I like Bruce Willis, but I don't go out of my way to see him in movies. I just have no problems with him being there on screen.
I love Top Gun. And when I first saw it, I was about four or so, so the volleyball scene meant almost nothing to me. I didn't even remember it later, it meant so little to me. Even though I must have watched that movie hundreds of times. I think I fell in love with the movie because of "Take My Breath Away," since the song is what is really iconic about it, for me. And I loved the buddy aspects of it, and I thought the girl was pretty.
Also, I saw Ice Princess today with Perkins! It was awesome. I thought it was really well done. Even though they completely re-used the Center Stage line about living the mother's dream.
DH watches The Military Channel. Former military officer, always wanted to "fly jets, sir!", aced all the exams but couldn't fake the sight exams, pre-lasik. He's entitled to watch jets on the teevee.
So he was watching a thing on the Blue Angels, and I happened to look at the screen while they were doing VO talking about non-flight time. Yup, volleyball. Shirtless volleyball.
It must be a thing.
I prefer Hot Shots thankyewverymuch.
...and The Fifth Element rocks!
I saw Ice Princess today with Perkins!
Yay!
Loved that movie, I did.
I loved The Fifth Element, I could totally buy us being like that in 250 years.
Iconic eightis movies for me were; Tron, First Blood, Return of the Jedi, Labyrinth, Buckaroo Banzai, A Fish Called Wanda... to name but a scant few.
I could totally buy us being like that in 250 years.
rethinks immortality plan
Hey, if you become immortal you'd theoretically end up being worshipped as a goddess, right? (At least, all the Sci-Fi shows and movies tell me so...) Make tenet #1 of Jessicaism "Thou shalt not dive headlong into a Fashion Apocalypse."
