My favorite part, actually, was the reference to Space Nuts.
Ha! That's awesome. I know of it through the aforementioned Pornucopia.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Watched Coffee and Cigarettes last night. Don't know why we didn't get to it until now, as we are both massive Jarmusch fans. Really loved the Waits/Iggy segment and the Molina/Coogan one. And Cate Blanchett killed.
Not top of the line Jarmusch. but worthwhile nonetheless. It needs to percolate in the back of my mind as all his films do.

Up with the sun
We also saw 40-year-old Virgin. I think it's the first comedy I've realy loved in quite a while -- the humor seemed to grow out of the situations, not be imposed from without, and I always appreciate that. I liked that the characters felt real (even Trish's teenage daughter was a person, not a hissy fit on legs), and the last scene had me gasped over in hysterics. (And then Patrick told me it's an exact tribute to Hair, which I haven't seen, and I lost it even more.)
Awesome movie.

Damn. From the trailers, I didn't really think it was that hysterically funny, but everyone's been saying it...is.

Dude, trust me—I'd be the first in line to crucify a Steve Carell comedy if it weren't good. This is almost like me recommending a Will Farrell movie.
I would not, however, have recommended that the guy who sat in the row in front of mine bring his third grader to giggle uncontrollably every time a body part was mentioned in or out of a joke.

Dude.
It can wait for DVD though, right? It's not run-out-and-get-a-sitter-good, is it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's not going to lose anything on the small screen, no.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Damn. From the trailers, I didn't really think it was that hysterically funny, but everyone's been saying it...is.
It really is. I just got back from seeing it with Z, and we were both crying with laughter at various points.
I also watched Julie Taymor's Titus today. It was interesting. Very pretty, and kind of cold. I know a certain distance is required from the script, but I think Taymor's too in love with her visuals. Still, interesting.

Ooh, I really liked Titus. Very cool movie.

Concur on the 40YOV love. Funny funny funny. Seth Rogan TOTALLY reminds me of my BF.
