'Safe'
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.

Cause she's shy.
Cause she's shy.
I totally thought it was going to be a play on Ultraviolet. Beyond the visible spectrum. Huh?
There was a DC character back in the day called Shrinking Violet, but she got smaller. I assumed this Violet was Shrinking also, but because shy.
And Mirage turned out to be not what she seemed. (Or exactly what she seemed, since she followed the Bond Girl trope to the letter).
