'Trash'
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.

Every actor that is good is in 13 Moons.

If that list doesn't include Cate Blanchett than I fear your credibility is in jeopardy, you cranky ol' weremonkey.
Jessica, my coworker saw Mad Hot Ballroom and also loved it.
I got to meet Vonnie last night! She's all cool and Vonnie-esque and (as is the way with the Buffistas) very attractive.

Like I had any credibility left.
13 Moons is better than you would expect from the various synopses that are out there.
Cate Blanchett is not in it.
Weremonkeys are grouchy. Lean into it.
DavidS, I just ordered a fabulous new book on Brigitte Lin. Here's a great review of The Last Star of The East: Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia and Her Films (2005).

Coool! I was trying to explain the cultural significance of this to JZ, but just decided I need to show her Swordsman II.
Did you see where both Ple and I talked about how our candyb books are next to our Wonderfalls brass monkeys?
