Zoe ,'Heart Of Gold'
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.
So a film critic on my flist thinks The Island is actually really good:
It took only six movies, but now I can recommend a Michael Bay film without calling it a "guilty pleasure."
Followed by:
The more I think about the flick, the (much) more I like it. There are sneak screenings all over the U.S. tonight. Someone go see it so I have someone to discuss it with. ;)
I just watched Josie and the Pussycat and thought it was hilarious and completely awesome. How did I go so long without seeing this?
Heh. I've heard a lot of good things about that movie. I ought to see it some time.
It's the BESTEST movie ever. It's funny and smart and the music is pretty good and it has lines like "Orange is the new pink" and "Puppies turn into dogs that get old and DIE," which aren't so funny out of context but which you will quote forever if you hear them in context. And Tara Reid is actually pretty tolerable when she's playing an idiot. I think the marketing screwed them.
I bet D. Griswold would like it, if he's about.
YES! Tara Reid was a little too convincing as an airhead, but she was funny.

Oh, I love that movie! I went to the premiere with a filmcritic friend, and the promotional tickets were attached to glittery purple studded cat collars.
Backdoor Lover is my very favourite boyband song ever ever in the history of ever. "DuJour means friendship." And how hot are the girls? Oh my God. Gah. Rosario Dawson. Gah.
I almost bought Josie when I was in Cincinnati with Steph, but I didn't. Probably because she sucks.
I love the sound track too.
I love the sound track too.
Yes! Yesyesyes! It was so funny, because the whole movie was all about getting people to buy stuff, and I came out of the movie going "I need to buy the soundtrack!" in the manner of the girls who were all "pink is the new orange"

I'm fairly certain this isn't the case. Your failure to buy it is a classic symptom of you sucking.
Interesting. I guess I know what I should rent next.
