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.
Shows and movies get Flroida wrong a lot. Either they think N FL looks something like S Florida, or they try to pass of California beaches (with cliffs, etc) as Florida beaches.
X Files had an episode set in Leon County and they came down and filmed some on location. The rest they did in Vancouver, which looks more like the area than South Florida.
In a Batman/Grendel crossover (Devil's Riddle/Devil's Masque) Hunter Rose travelled from NYC to Gotham and butted heads with the Bat. Too cool. I've never specifically associated Gotham for NYC in my head for some reason so it flowed perfectly for me.
I've seen so many Batman Begins trailers, I'm very excited to actually see the movie.
Emmett just watched The Miracle Worker the other day.
And I just saw her debut (Don't Bother to Knock) over the weekend. Though I wouldn't recommend it to Emmett for a few years yet.
Flickr now has a group for posting crappy bootleg DVD covers (and footnoting the errors).
SLC Punk has a huge number of place errors, which is really fucking odd, since James Meredino is from here. Not just fictional places but . . . . Like punks hanging out in front of the Temple. They didn't, they hung out in between the two malls about a block away. Better spare change opportunities.
So no, it still makes no sense, and anybody who sat down and thought about it would be able to puzzle out that premeditated murder is never legally-consequence-free, no matter how much you've been screwed over.
Hm. What about DREAM LOVER where Madchen Amick goes to extraordinary lengths to get James Spader committed as violently insane and then, when she shows up for one last gloat, gets throttled by him after he informs her that he'll be found innocent by reason of insanity because, well, already proven insane? I mean, she's SERIOUSLY stupid for actually doing the visit-and-gloat, but she thought she had his number down to the littlest detail.
Fun movie in that MALICE/LAST SEDUCTION/RED ROCK WEST/WILD THINGS kinda way, and I loved the ending, but I didn't buy it for a second. Well, except that the movie implies heavily that at this point Spader may actually BE insane and not caring much what happens to himself anyway.
Well, in the DC-verse, there is Gotham City, NYC (Outsiders) AND Metropolis.
The trailer for Cronenberg's A History of Violence is up--looks interesting!
Well, in the DC-verse, there is Gotham City, NYC (Outsiders) AND Metropolis.One of my favorite metaphorical comic book sayings is, "Metropolis is New York by day. Gotham is New York by night."
Until they gave it its Futurama-style makeover, I thought Metropolis in recent years was being drawn to resemble downtown Chicago.
