Zoe ,'Heart Of Gold'
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.
I'm not the one arguing that sports movies aren't about sports.
You misled me by answering my question posed in response to the contention that BiLB wasn't about soccer in the same way. Not that I was thinking Nutty was saying it wasn't about soccer. Just that The Natural handled its sport differently.
See, I didn't think Bend It Like Beckham was much of a sports movie, either. It was a coming of age movie with some badly played soccer in it.
BiLB didn't have to be about soccer. It didn't even have to be about sports. Whatever was chosen was integral to the plot, because it was the device for dissension and cultures clashing, but there were other ways.
Speaking of soccer, I'm looking forward to Hooligans, with Charlie Hunnam and Elijah Wood. Mmm, pretty violence.
Mmm, pretty violence.
I've seen some thuggish shots of Elijah. He's all cute and stuff.
And doesn't Dom's rock n'roll movie debut at SXSW? Possibly tonight? or maybe last night?
So many of my Austin friends are at SxSW this week. So jealous! My friend Shelly always hosts one of the bands. This year she has a bunch 'o Scots. I was supposed to go down and join the fun, but I couldn't afford the plane ticket this time around. Did I mention jealous?
You could've seen a Hobbit!!
According to TORN -- it was last night. You know that Jason Behr is also in this movie? I believe that they are supposed to be brothers.

Aw, bless. I'm looking forward to him in Sin City as well. Creepifying.
