Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

But you haven't said what you think of Clive Owen.

I gotta say, from still photos of him, he left no real impression on me, other than being kind of dark and Heathcliff-y. However, in motion -- I get the whole OMGhoTTTT!!!1! thing. Some people are just appealing (to me, that is) only when they're in action, not still photos.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I saw Heights this afternoon. A really good, gritty movie about people's lives crashing down around them that is somewhat ruined by the tacked-on Hollywood ending where four of the six main characters pair off in upbeat fashion. Also, Jesse Bradford in scruffied up mode is eerily reminiscent of Victor .

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Tep, that is the Clive appeal, per-zackly!

Your tag here.

I walked out of Sin City halfway through it. It was overly violent for violence's sake and just a bit too negative for me. I couldn't get emotionally invested in Marv's crusade. I guess that's about all I can say on the subject, considering I didn't see the entire film.

Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight. Lots of fun and better than I thought it would be. Depp's character choices looked a bit sketchy in previews but worked in the context of the film. Visually breathtaking, (of course, it's Tim Burton, how could it not)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

List of films ordered by uses of the word "fuck".

Surprisingly, neither Tarantino nor Mamet are in the top 10.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nil by Mouth was so depressing I didn't even note the massive use of the f-word.

Compassionately intolerant

Nil by Mouth

Made me want to open a vein. Seriously.

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

I just had Nil By Mouth recommended to me, with the caveat that I don't name the recommender in any ensuing suicide note.

Way to go to pique a girl's interest.

It amuses me that THE BIG LEBOWSKI made the top 10. Heh.
