Xander ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
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.
They're doing a re-make of Lassie Come-Home, hopefully no dogs will die in the making of this movie.
I wonder if they're shooting Ireland for Scotland or just switching the setting to Ireland the way that The Secret of Roan Innish did.
t turns off lurking device
There's no easy way to say, "Hi, I'm fond of the spicy brains around here, and would like to join in on the fun." Except, maybe, that.
Anyway, I watched Kingdom of Heaven for the second time yesterday. (I work at a movie theater, so the first time was the pre-release screening... meaning I was very tired.) I agree with whoever said it that Orlando seemed a little blank. Though I'm not really sure whether that's his fault, or whether Bailin was just supposed to be a taciturn kind of guy.
Also, Zenkitty, I thought that the "if I have your army, you have your wife" line was supposed to mean that if Guy would keep his troops in line, and not start offing Saracens left and right (like he went ahead and did anyway), he would get to be the king. It's just a shame that she didn't seem to have anything to back it up. Also, I still don't get why she cut off all her hair. Disguise? Mourning? Suddenly way too hot in the desert?
So want to see more Alexander Siddig on the big screen. Also, I can't be the first one to think that Edward Norton sounds like Marlon Brando.
And, this movie has me convinced that David Thewlis has a high BBoC factor. Or it's possible I brought the heavy-duty slash goggles.
I hope I whitefonted everything ok... eta: curse you, wee quicktags!
