I may not have been clear. I just wanted to say the gay jokes are not embarassing or offensive any more than Bialystock is anti-Semitic. I can see why you didn't like the movie--as I said, I think it's not much of a movie.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone interested in the sequel to Underworld? It's coming out in a month and this is the first I've heard of it.
I didn't invest a lot in the first picture, though it was fun enough. I like the idea of there being more low(er)-budget action-adventure-type films being put out there to balance the ridiculously huge-budget blockbusters. I can't help but think the genre will stagnate if it keeps up the latter route.
Oh, and who can say it enough: Kate Beckinsdale back in the leather catsuit.
DH actually bought me the Underworld DVD for Christmas--but I think that might be totally related to a comment I made about KB skewing my Kinsey scale. I am, however, looking forward to the sequel if only because it's principals are very pretty and I will withstand any amount of cheese to see Kate in leather and latex again.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I was embarrassed watching them. I never said they were offensive, and I don't think the two are equivalent.

We has a good Christmas Movie Day yesterday. Saw Fun with Dick and Jane which was not as bad as we thought it might be, luckily. probably not worth going to the theater, but a good rental. We also saw King Kong, which, yes, was too long, but I was completely caught up in it. Naomi Watts is very good, and so beautiful that it is pure pleasure just to look at her face. The group I went wih was mixed on Jack Black--I liked him a lot but several peeps who were with us HATED him. We all thought it was lame that noone ever seemd to be aware of heights, even when they were on the top of a cliff or running along a crumbling rock wall or on top of the Empire State Building.

As for that last, I guess getting slung around like a rag doll by a giant ape as he clambers over mountains and falls from ravines would be a pretty intensive form of acclimation therapy for one's acrophobia .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, she was probably thinking, "Well, at least I'm not about to be eaten by a T-Rex ."

I'm somewhat afraid of heights myself. But if I had been there, I would have been most traumatized by the penis/vagina dentata worm thingies .

I agree. I misread your earlier post, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my. That's young.
