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.
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.
I have a soft spot for "Tommy Boy" and I'm not sure why. It's not like I could defend it artistically or anything...it's kind of ridiculous. But still somehow, I am hurt to find it on anybody's "Worst Ever" list, even Roger "I'm Sophisticated Till the Tits Pop Out" Ebert.

"Fat guy in a little coat...."
Something like that.

The Carpenters singalong.
Damn, I miss Chris Farley.
He and David Spade weren't necessarily the calibre of other classic comedy duos, but the really worked well together.
Edit: Is "caliber" an accepted American spelling? It didn't look right, so I changed it. Maybe I've just been reading ita's spellings too long.
Of course, now "calibre" doesn't look right either.
Oh, yeah, definitely that.

Also Chris Farley and Adam Sandler -- it least in the SNL "Hurlihy Boy" sketches.

I saw Wedding Crashers yesterday, if it wasn't for a meet this guy type of thing I wouldn't have picked the movie. But I liked it and didn't quite laugh my ass off. Owen Wilson continues to impress me, I think a lesser actor wouldn't have handled the emotional change from guy who crashes weddings to get laid, to guy who really fell for this girl. Although I didn't really buy the romance ending the way it did.
Vince Vaughn mostly annoyed me. And if Will Ferrell had been in more of this there is no way I would have liked it.
