'Serenity'
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.
Julie Delpy! Siiiigh. I do like Blanc quite a bit; just not as much as I love the other two.
The first time I watched Rouge, I actually burst into tears of happiness at the end. It was the damnedest thing. Well, maybe "happiness" is the wrong term--it left me euphoric and bittersweet at the same time, like the world was a bigger, wiser, and more unfathomable than it was before I saw the film. (Damn, that sounds pretentious as hell.)
I rented Bleu about a month ago, and I thought it was overrated (although almost nothing could live up to its reputation). However, I tend to dislike movies where everything is so massively serious.
(I'm also a bad film fan.)
I'm now watching Josie and the Pussycats on the recommendation of so many of you.
So far, it convinced me to add "Shadow of the Vampire" to my netflix queue through the opening preview montage, and is now making me laugh harder than any opening scene EVER.
OMG ALAN CUMMING JUST APPEARED.
Okay, yeah, you guys rule. This recommendation is so perfect for me it hurts. I'm kind of loving it.
ETA: Also (and I never thought I would say this) Tara Reid is totally hilarious and awesome in this flick.
To bring down the quality of this thread, has anyone seen The Crow:Wicked Prayer? I rented this today and I was very disappointed.
the only good Crow is the original with Brandon Lee. all others have sucked beyond the telling of it. though i am tempted to put that one in my queue for the combination of Eddie Furlong and David Boreanaz.
I really liked the first Crow movie, but have not seen the others. David B is shirtless often, but it does not make up for the movie. I thought this movie was a parody of the Crow several times while watching it.
has anyone seen The Crow:Wicked Prayer
I lasted about 5 minutes into it before I had to turn it off. I agree, the only true Crow is the Brandon Lee original.
We just watched that last weekend. I wasn't disappointed, but I expected it to be terrible. And we had booze.
Although not as much as whoever was dressing Boreanaz.
We did have a long conversation afterwards about how much it would cost to get Dennis Hopper to perform a wedding, and if we'd have to start calling everyone "shorty" and "dog" afterwards.
Do you have to pay extra for him to periodically take a hit of nitrous and yell, "Don't you fucking look at me!"?
