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.
A number of the great takes caught on film have a story behind them.
There are, of course, the numerous takes during LotR in which Viggo was injured. All of which seemed to be the takes that PJ liked best, and made it in to the final cut.
And there's also Harrison Ford slamming Sean Young up against the window so hard that those are real tears of pain she's crying in Blade Runner.

Breaking his toe in The Two Towers probably elicited the most realistic howl of rage/pain from him, when he kicked the orc helmet. I liked that one.
And I'm pretty sure the take that busted his tooth was the one that wound up in the film, too.
you and I are as one.
Words I always love to read, because I know I'm on the right track (certain iconic Westerns excepted, of course).
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." (Otherwise known as "Will you let it go about The Wild Bunch already?")
I just want to enter my house justified.
I know this one, I think. "When you fight with a guy, you stay with him...something." Not bad after months for a movie I only partially liked. Even if people have called my ability to quote things frightening. I know, Corwood...I'm the same about The Godfather I and II...III, while no way near as horrifying as all that, will have to survive without my pimpage because they are classics and it is...nsm.
I'm big with the Apatow & Seth Rogan love in the former
Hey, another reason for me to check out 40-Year-Old Virgin. I just started watching Freaks and Geeks (Christmas present from my mother, who loves the show; next year I plan to get her Sports Night in return) and am loving it.
I watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this weekend and loved it. What kind of reception did it get here? I can't remember, but I thought it was great, and stayed very true to the spirit of the book. There's basically no plot in the book, so I had no problem with them adding some extra plot elements to the movie, and the casting was all perfect. Now if I could only stop singing "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish"...
I really liked it too, Kate, but it seemed to be mostly panned by critics. I don't remember what the Buffista consensus was, though.
I thought it was fabulous, Kate -- I think I saw it 4 times in theatres and then immediately bought the soundtrack. Trillian was the only casting choice I didn't like right off the bat, but she really grew on me with repeated viewings.
