Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
From the NY Times review: (whitefonted, although it's just two lines of dialog so I'm not sure if I need to...)
Darth Vader, already deep in the thrall of the dark side and echoing the words of George W. Bush, hisses at Obi-Wan, "If you're not with me, you're my enemy." Obi-Wan's response is likely to surface as a bumper sticker during the next election campaign: "Only a Sith thinks in absolutes."
Over the top? Maybe. But I like it (at least until I see the actual scene).
That New Yorker review was a masterpiece of bile. "Break me a fucking give." Glorious!

Only? Really? Are you absolutely sure?
Only? Really? Are you absolutely sure?

There are two types of people in the world: those who think there are two types of people in the world, and....
I think Anthony Lane was wearing the cranky pants when he wrote that reveiw. (Probably when he saw the movie too.)
I agree with some of what he says, but his thesis seems to be, "Everthing in the Star Wars movies is stupid."
Although I'll have to see if I can incorporate "Break me a fucking give" into everyday conversation....
I think I need a "Break me a fucking give" icon.
Although, wouldn't Yoda be more likely to say, "A fucking break give me"?
Why did I click? Why?
