flashing back to "Aimee" and giggling
I heart "Kate P".
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like !Spring, myself. Good call, Vonnie.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I like strawberries. Could we work that in somehow?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Now I'm singing "Strawberry Girl" to myself, although I am unaware of Spring's preferred gender. Also, strawberries are yummy.

I can't even.
Anyone seen Silver City? I watched it last night and it is noirish and rambling. I was pretty much watching for Maria Bello, but Chris Cooper's GWB imitation was uncanny.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was disappointed in it, JSw. It seemed like a good idea that never quite went anywhere.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hey there, Not!Spring[wholikesstrawberries]! Welcome!

That was my reaction, too. I watched it to the end, and kept expecting it to find another gear, but it never did. Lots of interesting people in character roles, but it was like the pieces didn't quite hang together. Kind of frustrating, since there was stuff to like about it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I like !Spring
Although that's sort of close to iSpring, and now I have the mental picture of !Spring (whatever he/she looks like) all decked in Apple White.
I like strawberries.
The only thing this reminds me of is Rack and Willow from "Wrecked" and "you taste like strawberries"... and OK, ewww. Plus, Actual Car Crash. Sigh.
On an actual movie-related news, Netflix me sent Spartan, the Mamet thriller with Val Kilmer, which I admit I rented because Kristen Bell is in it. It's very atypical as thrillers go, and rather ponderous but interestingly brain-twisty. Val Kilmer is very, very good in the role of the Special Ops dude who goes rogue to complete his mission. KB is only on for about 15 minutes or so, but she rocked--no surprise there.
Mamet's very hit or miss for me. His flicks are clever and dense, but often emotionally frigid. This one was better than some in that regard, but I suspect that was mostly because of what Kilmer brought to the table instead of the writing.
