Never really got the love...except for the robbing drifter in "Thelma and Louise". That was hot.
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You know what I found hot? The fuzzy pink bathrobe. Mmmm...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Brad is totally hot in Mr & Mrs Smith, I found, as well as in the two Oceans. Much of the rest of the time onscreen I've thought he was pretty, but that's nowhere near as urgent a feeling.
Fight Club, however, was the first time Helena Bonham Carter didn't drive me batshit.

Art Crawl!!!
Sky High is fun and fluffy. So, if you're in the mood for that -- I recommend it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Fight Club is one of my favorite movies.
Sky High was a lot of fun, I thought. And Constantine somehow managed to make me like it in spite of the massive suckage of almost every element.

Heh. I just can't put my finger on why, but that's pretty much it for me, too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm going to try, if only because the next-gen DVD players are reeeeally expensive. I predict that whichever one can get cheapest fastest will dominate the market in the end.
I agree. Though I also think Blu-Ray might have an advantage in that's the technology the Playstation 3 is going to use and I believe they're retaining the PS2's DVD-playing ability. The PS3 may be how a next-gen DVD player gets into my house. (Much as the PS2 was also my first DVD player.)
I can't get into Fight Club. I've tried a couple times, but it really rubs me the wrong way
This is me. A friend my loaned me the DVD once, I popped it in, watched for maybe 10 minutes and turned it off.

God, Fight Club is fucking *brilliant.*

move out and draw fire
I'm with erika and ita in not being large with the Brad-love. I know there was something I thought he was hot in, but I can't remember it now...mostly I'm just surprised when it turns out he can act as well as look pretty.
Fight Club was like American Beauty for me...except worse, because Ed Norton gives me hives. I know people love it, and even people whose movie taste I trust, respect, and know to generally square with mine. That's why I've taken more than one run at it.
Maybe I should read the book. (Although the book couldn't do the fun stuff, like zapping Brad into a frame or two for a what-the-hell-was-that moment).

Heh. I just can't put my finger on why, but that's pretty much it for me, too.
For me it was Tilda Swinton. Her role had the most deviation from the source material, but I think all the changes (and her performance, naturally) were brilliant and greatly improved upon the original.
I thought Keanu did a good job portraying some character that coincidentally shared the same name and smoking habits as the John Constantine from the comics. As long as I didn't let myself look at it as an adaptation, it was entertaining.
