Oz ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
Spoilery reveiw (FAQ, actually) of both SW:E3-RotS and Serenity on AICN: [link]
x-post with Firefly spoilers.
It's all on one link. If you want to read the Serenity stuff but don't want to be spoilded for SW:E3-RotS, just do a 'find' for "Serenity" - it's about a third of the way down.
It disturbs me. That and the fact that it's almost two distinct films jars the hell out of me.
Huh. Both of those are reasons that I very much like FULL METAL JACKET. Rather a lot, actually. But I realize it's decidedly not for everyone.

Sorry. I don't mean to knock the ivory tower of Kubrick. FMJ, just not my thing.
Lost it in the scene with the brother. Lost. It.
All of his childhood scenes just hit me so hard. It's the mommy-thing, I think. I was SOBBING when his mom stood there when he fell and called out to her. The little boy playing young Ray broke my heart. So. fucking. adorable.

Yet another moment when I broke the "Let a sleeping baby lie" rule and went and snatched Em out of her crib and hugged and hugged and hugged.
Okay, this Ray talk is making my scalp prickle. Damn, those were awful scenes.

Heh. Christopher said, "makes you want to run up and hug the boy, doesn't it?"
Damn, those were awful scenes.
Awful bad awful or awful made your heart hurt awful?
If you want to see R. Lee do his usual schtick, but don't like Full Metal Jacket, I recommend The Frighteners, directed by Peter Jackson. Lots of fun, with a surprisingly effective Michael J. Fox and the always-fun-as-a-psycho Gary Busey.

Heart hurt. God, damn.
We meant to watch Collateral right after to stop being so heart hurty, but couldn't.
It was one of those post movie things where we said nothing about the movie for a couple of days. Had to let everything sink in.
