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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just saw Willard. It was what you'd expect from a movie about Crispin Glover going crazy and getting rats to eat people.

But Strega once said the DVD was worth checking out for Crispin Hellion Glover's video for "Ben" and the commentary.

Oh my God. The commentary.

It's...hilarious. And not intentionally. He is like the most humorless man alive, and he desperately wants to people see his new film What Is It? and he knows the name of everyone who is in his video, and Hollywood is evil with the money and the budgets and the glavin.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Bond casting is down to 4 people - but we don't know who. Although, according to that article, the front runner may well be Croatian.

ETA: All of my favorite candidates were never actually candidates. Aamir Khan, Jonathon Rhys-Myers, Don Cheadle . . . . And, yes, I am aware that I probably spelled every one of those names wrong.

He is like the most humorless man alive,

No, no. He's like Andy Kaufman. As much as he's like anything in this dimension.

You need to hear The Big Problem.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

All of my favorite candidates were never actually candidates. Aamir Khan, Jonathon Rhys-Myers, Don Cheadle .

Ooh, I would have loved to see either Aamir Khan or Don Cheadle as Bond. I don't think JRM would really work well in the role, as much as I love him.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't think JRM would really work well in the role, as much as I love him.

Doesn't Bond often have to run? That knocks him right out of contention.

Nah, he'd lull the villians into a false sense of security with his flailing weird-ass running. And by "lull" I mean "send into fits of helpless laughter." The bad guys would be toast. Giggling all the way to their high-security prisons, but toast all the same.

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

I saw "Being Julia" last night. A charming confection, if you like period pieces where people wear pretty clothes and speak witty lines (and I do). Annette Bening was absolutely incandescent.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I rented Constantine and Ice Princess. That's an interesting combo to put together. I'm not too sure how I feel about them. I guess they were ok, but not great.

IP was too clichéd about the geeky kid with big dreams and breaks out of her shell and falls for the hottie boy and everything works out in the end .

Constantine had some neat special effects especially the scenes when they're in hell .

If you combine quotes from the two movies you get this:

Ice Princess: I can figure out ice skating through physics! (paraphrase)
Constantine: Go to hell, asshole.

(Hee!)

Now tagless for your comfort.

I couldn't get to the theatre to see this. Must go put it in my netflix queue.
