Good point, Matt. Besides, my dad (who only saw Firefly on DVD), is getting all giddy about going to see Serenity on opening day, so I may not have a choice in the matter.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Neil Gaiman himself said that you could go see Serenity on opening day without guilt (as long as you go see Mirrormask opening week). I'm listening to him.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I just watched Lovely and Amazing, with Catherine Keener, Emily Mortimer, Brenda Blethyn, and a bunch of other good actors. Great characters--you don't always like them or sympathize with everything they do, but you feel like you really understand them by the end. Definitely recommended.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is that the one where they're sisters, and Emily Mortimer is the actress? I do remember liking that one.

Yep. Emily Mortimer may have been my favorite in this, actually. All I really knew about the movie ahead of time is that there's a scene in which her character, the actress, asks a man she's sleeping with to look at her naked and tell her everything that's wrong with her. So I was prepared to be made really uncomfortable by that part, but in fact, it's kind of a freeing moment for her. There were other parts of the movie that pinged me much harder on weight/body image issues.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have yet to see Emily Mortimer in anything live action, although I have Dear Frankie on the queue. I know her as the voice of Young Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle.

UK GoF trailer.
That looks pretty goddamn good. I'm so glad the movies are getting darker and darker (and that DR is becoming more like my version of Harry with every movie).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, darn. I really wanted to see him in that.

Me, too.
