I finally watched Infernal Affairs.
Damn, that was lovely stuff.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it's funny that the "Why are the Brits always villains?" conversation is happening on the 4th of July.
Ummm, should I be ashamed to admit I saw Bats again? Also, interestingly the theatre was pretty full and on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm very very happy that Plei FINALLY got to see it.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Cable, which is not free, has no commercials.
Unless it's Australian pay-tv. To get a decent package you'd pay close to $100 a month, then you have to put up with commercials. Not sure if it is on every channel but I know there are some that show regular commercials the same as free-to-air.

Cable here isn't free and has ads too. It's the premium channels that are theoretically ad free, but I'm betting HBO gets something from their sneak peeks at upcoming movies.

From IMDB:
Brett Ratner is spicing up the new X-Men 3 movie with the addition of his very own fantasy - a sex siren mutant who seduces her opponents rather than battles them. Ratner takes over from departing director Bryan Singer, who made the first two movies, and the Rush Hour film maker is determined to leave his mark on the comic book series. The new mutant has not yet been cast but unknowns Kate Nauta and Aya Sumika will reportedly audition. A source tells Pagesix.com the mutant will be, "An unbelievably hot and sexy hooker. Her super power is that she secretes a pheromone that helps her to seduce men. She can seduce anyone." The source adds of the auditions, "They are open to all ethnicities who are in their early-to-mid 20s."

The description of the new mutant reminds me sadly of Dark Angel.

I thought Max was part cat or something. Did she exude hot and sexy feline pheromones?

Hey. New board.
Jessica Alba didn't need pheromones to seduce men. IJS.
There was that one episode where her cat genes or whatever-the-hell kicked in and she was in heat. That episode was evil to male viewers worldwide because we had to watch her seduce some not-too-attractive guy who was just incredibly lucky to be in the right place at exactly the right time. It was also probably the second-to-last episode I watched because that show was really bad.
The mutant sounds like a giant pile of horrible, and I hope it's just a dumb rumor.

It just seems wholly unnecessary, given the number of characters the movie already has, and the wealth of actual characters they could potentially use.
