Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm pleased Amy Adams got nominated. Michelle Williams would beat her, but I really recommend Junebug-- her performance is wonderful.

"Greetings, Starfighter!"
One of my all-time favorites! Yes, objectively, The Last Starfighter only rates 3 stars, max, but the casting of Robert Preston puts it into Personal Favorite category. Also, I love the character of Louis, the little brother, and Dan Herlihy as Grig, who I didn't realize until he passed away was the same guy who played the CEO of the megacompany in Robocop.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell, Jay Baruchel, Chris Marquette and Sam Huntington are in final negotiations to play Star Wars geeks in Fanboys, a comedic drama that Kevin Spacey's Trigger Street is producing for the Weinstein Co., according to The Hollywood Reporter. Kyle Newman is making his directorial debut on the feature.
The movie, written by Adam F. Goldberg and Ernest Cline, follows four Star Wars fanboys from the Midwest who drive across the country to honor the wish of their dying friend: to see the yet-unreleased Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace in its most optimal setting, George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Dan Fogler already has been cast as one of the geeks, a hot-headed pizza boy. Shooting is scheduled to begin Feb. 22 in New Mexico.
So at the end, does the dying fanboy say, "That sucked!" just as he dies?

move out and draw fire
“Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing.”
I can't read this line out loud without choking up. TKaM may be the most perfect movie adaptation of a book.
Although the original The Haunting is pretty close also.
I got the DH the Val Lewton collection for Xmas, but he's been unthrilled to watch it - keeps saying "It's not really my kind of horror." Not that he's seen any Lewton. And I've yet to find the old horror movie he doesn't like. *sigh*

Jay Baruchel
YAY! That reminds me I still haven't watched the last few eps of Undeclared.
I really recommend Junebug-- her performance is wonderful.
I loved Amy Adams and enjoyed most of the movie but the end with the baby dying just was too much. I didn't get the point of it except to make the brother's wife look like a villain. It was very heavyhanded compared to the subtlety of the rest of the movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
More F*@% Yeah--this time death scenes, and now I need to watch Equilibrium again.

Again? Are you sure? Are you really really sure?

The men are pretty. The fight scenes are cool.
Come on -- you watched Queen Of Swords. You know the lengths one will go to for the pretty and the boom.
Shit. I'm currently feeling like buying it. I hope that wears off before I get to bn.com.

Oh, man, you went back in time to drag that one out and use against me, didn't you? Hmph. (And I never *re*watched Queen of Swords.)
