'The Killer In Me'
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.
surely it's still going to do better than break even
Rumour has it that films never break even. Fun with math.

I'm probably not a good judge of this because I always think CF looks unhygenic.
I don't know how they keep giving CF hair that doesn't suit him. He's not all that bad looking, people! Let's put forth a little effort here.
Saw MI:III. Bonus to part-time job = free movies. Surprisingly, I didn't hate it. Lots of supporting actors that I lurve, and somehow it added to the enjoyment to watch Tom cry so many times . Go team schadenfreude, even if it's make-believe.
Also, I think I may be a JJ Abrams fangirl now. Though I don't get why everyone spun around so much.
