'Get It Done'
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.
Movie just kinda...stopped.
I agree. It was funnier than I thought it was going to be, but the non-funny parts were slow.
The one thing I really appreciated was Brad Pitt's observation that the dual-sliding doors on the minivan were handy. It made our recent shopping trip for a minivan easier--especially if we imagined getting chased by assassins in a vehicle that handles like a brick.
I finally saw Narnia, and then came home and started rereading the books. I don't know if we ever resolved this, but Lucy is actually blonde in the book.
I enjoyed the movie, and I keep thinking that it didn't overwhelm me, except I kind of want to see it again. Also, James Whatshisface, who played Mr. Tumnus? Cutie.
McAvoy! Hottie. Should be seen in Shameless and State of Play.
Basically, I need something where the emotional truth is wrapped in a fairly stylised package, and it will sing for me.
Wow. This describes my preferences as well in a way I'd never thought about before.
I've always felt guilty for having little interest in F&G. I'd probably skip it in favor of Mr. & Mrs. Smith or Alias or La Femme Nikita DVDs. Perhaps Apatow just needs more underdressed spies.
David's observation on s6 is also food for thought.
I suspect that F&G was more painfully realistic due to Paul Feig's influence and the more goofy-contrived parts were closer to Apatow's aesthetic. Maybe it's not as neat as that in all cases, but it seems to be a general difference in their post-F&G work.
That said, I don't know which sick genius is responsible for Jason Segal's disco dance moves in the final episode.
Bon bon, (former Buffista) Julie Beth was saying that she wanted to take up roller derby a few years ago, but I discouraged her. I don't know about what you look like, but those girls are just physically huge. Julie Beth is about 5'2" and weighs maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. My lovely wife, who is 5'8" and athletic, would get her ass kicked, no problem, by those roller girls.
Well, I'm not wee, but fair point. I get the sense the new york league is a lot less competitive than the texas leagues, though.

Completely me. I remember thinking, as I watched F&G...I went to school with these people...omg, that chick is me...um, painful then, painful now...NEXT!
I've only seen one, ever. And there was a keg in it and that's all I remember.

Fun episode! Genius work by Bill! Non-Alcoholic Beer drunkenness!
Yeah, that episode was awesome. Jesus is just alright with me, after all.
