Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Any movie that can deliver the line "Achilles! Heel!" to a horse named Achilles wins in my book.
Best. Part.
Ice Age 2 is translated here as something like The Epoch of the Iceyness, 2.
And I don't know about Happy Feet, but Mal loves the trailer.
Alleged plot summary for Spiderman 3. It seems very busy.
I am instantly suspicious.
I just realized something. If you, one day, wanted to have some sort of "Race Relations in America" movie night, a perfect double feature would be... Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle... and Crash.
In that both are laughable? I'm just saying.
Anyone participate in the Hollywood Stock Exchange?
I used to. Had a friend who worked IT there. Got bored with it eventually, mostly because everybody else made bookoo HSX bucks, and I could never make any.
I've been doing it since 2002. On and off. It's more fun during the summer.
Man, ita, I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. I'm up by quite a bit of money. Though David Boreanaz has lost me a lot of money. Good thing he's pretty.
The local film critic completely panned Lucky Number Slevin, but in so doing ensured my attendance with this passage:
The only real surprise here is why so many esteemed actors are willing to play second banana to Josh Hartnett, who stars as Slevin, a young man who spends much of the early part of the film covered only with a bath towel and the blood from his broken nose after gangsters kidnap him from a New York apartment.
