I saw "Sorority Boys" on opening day, and still have at least one poster.
Oh, MR, your sexy sexy self did have me in thrall for a while there.
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.

"Caligula" is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty. Disgusted and unspeakably depressed, I walked out of the film after two hours of its 170-minute length.
I think this means he missed the horse fisting.
The first one, of course, being the casting of the title character.
I think they used up all their casting mojo on getting Djimon Hounsou and Tilda Swinton.
I've heard people praising Peter Stormaire's performance, but I thought he was horribly miscast. Rossdale would have actually been a better choice for his role. (Though of course, competing with John Glover's and Viggo Mortensen's portrayals is never easy.)

Ain't that the truth? Tilda Swinton was fantastic.

At least he got a good meal from all that scenery he chewed.
It's not that that performance might not have been a good choice for another villain role, but my Satan shouldn't sound like he's going to break out with lines from Deliverance at any moment.

See, I thought he was going to start singing Erasure.
Just got back from seeing The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green. I loved loved loved it - it hit exactly the same buttons for me as All Over the Guy except for not having the hunky lead sit next to me while I watched it at festival. I thought it was way better than I'd expected from an indie comedy based on an underground comic.
Highlights included Daniel Letterle as the fussy but likeable protagonist, David Monaghan kissing lots more guys to make up for Kerr Smith's reluctance, Joel Brooks and Richard Riehl (Buffy's first Watcher) as cross dressing couple The Hat Sisters, Diego Serrano frequently in little to no clothing, and Meredith Baxter quoting Old Dirty Bastard and telling her son "Come over for dinner next Tuesday honey. And bring your fuckbuddy!"
The only movie in there that I actually like is "The Usual Suspects," and I absolutely love that one. I also don't hate "Tommy Boy" - it's not allowed, as a male member of my generation.
I like North and love Stargate. And I didn't think Constantine was that bad.
I finally saw The Breakfast Club. It was good. I also finally saw Léon. The cut scenes were easy to identify by their total and utter inappropriateness. Very nice. Great movie. This time, I noticed Besson's use of light. Which was very cool.
We're watching Constantine. This is a terrible movie.
It wasn't a great movie, but I thought it had some good imagery, a few good performances (Tilda, especially) and an interesting premise. It didn't bore me, which is what makes me decide a movie is terrible.
I think it's actually a reasonably good genre movie IF you're completely unfamiliar with the source material (aside from a couple of missteps like InbredHick!Satan and Exposition Lad). They should have just renamed Keanu's character something besides John Constantine and all would have been well.
