Spike ,'Selfless'
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.
My mother is notorious for falling asleep during the opening credits and then miss the first 15 minutes or so. But she chooses to remain silent and confused, rather than ask for a recap. Now, if it is animated, well, she'll sleep through the whole thing.

I have come to feel that M. Knight is something of a one-trick pony. I still haven't seen that last one. I fear that further movies of his will begin to lessen my enjoyment of the ones I *did* like.
I have work-related reasons to believe that Lady in the Water will be more of the same schtick, unfortunately. (As far as we can tell, very few people involved in the production are allowed to know the entire story. It's very, very annoying.)

WHY? WHY?
Ran out of the good drugs?
But is it art?
and why would anyone agree to film it?
Warhol filmed some guy sleeping for eight hours. People are strange and off-putting.
I don't mind the schtick if it doesn't suck. I like surprise endings as much as the next. But, you know, Signs sucked. I never saw the other one, but I hear it sucked too.
The Movie Deaths database.
Even after reading the FAQ, I'm not really understanding the purpose of that page.

So she can turn into a beautiful butterfly?
