Buffy ,'Showtime'
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 always thought of the series as children to young adult.
But, now that I think about it, His Dark Materials is for the same age range, huh?
Nevermind. Cancel the fantasy novel exploring. Still reading children's books.
Aims, honey, those books are very much fantasy. Just because they're aimed at kids or young adults doesn't change that. Quite a great deal of fantasy (and to some extent, sci-fi) are written as kid or young adult books.
You know, it never occurred to me until it was pointed out here today that these books were written for a YA audience. It makes perfect sense, but I just never considered it.
Has there been discussion in this forum about the supposed first draft of the Golden Compass script, specifically about how it's going to deal with the overt anti-religion stance, or am I remembering another forum I'm on?
I thought Rush Hour was absolutely hysterical, and loved it to bits. I chalk that up to both of the leads.
I wouldn't call it hysterical, although I did think it was very funny. However, I think the "Detective James Carter" character could've been played by a number of other actors and been just as funny, and a lot less annoying.
eta: Few, if any other than Jackie Chan, could've played "Chief Inspector Lee".
(He annoyed the crap out of me in The Fifth Element.)
I'm the opposite, I thought he was brilliant b/c the character was perfect for his persona. Outside of that "Ruby" character and he's annoying as hell.
I'm all over a Miami Vice movie. I just wish the trailers said more.
Me, too. I signed on to see it when I saw Michael Mann was directing.
I'm TiVoing I Remember Mama for JZ. Turn of the century costume, San Francisco setting, 40s movie, Irene Dunne - can't miss.
Ooh, I LOVE that movie. A lovely script and all the performances are first-rate.

Heh. JZ is watching it now and telling The Halloweenie that Irene Dunne was her Yiayia's favorite actress.
I wanted to add to the thumbs that are up for MI:3. It's great fun, and something blows up every five minutes. Well done, J.J.
I've also seen Munich and Good Night and Good Luck in the last couple days, which are both more important movies to be existing but not nearly as fun to watch.
If only Murrow had gone on an explosives-rampage, GNaGL could have been the best movie ever.
Good Night and Blowed Up Real Good
