I just finished watching To Kill a Mockingbird on TCM this morning. I've seen it before, but it's worth watching again. It's pretty close to a perfect film.
"Jean Louise, stand up. Your father is passing."
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Because books.
"Jean Louise, stand up. Your father is passing."
That gives me a chill every. time. Such a wonderful moment.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My favorite moment is when Scout calls out the town's men in their hoods.

Love that movie. Of course, with an absentee dad, it's pretty tear-inducing so sometimes I have to *not* watch it. Still wish I had an Atticus.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
hell, I had a pretty great dad and I STILL wish I had an Atticus.

That's the scene we came in on this morning. Scout shaming the lynch mob into turning around and going home.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"Jean Louise, stand up. Your father is passing."
I choke up even reading it. So wonderful.

I saw this short film a couple of years ago and have been meaning to hunt it down. Today, with work being so busy, I figured I'd check to see if it was on youtube. Bingo!

I think my favorite (funny) TKAM line is when the kids are walking Atticus back to the house at the end of the workday, and he stops to charm the cranky old lady next door.
Atticus: "Why, Mrs. [Blahblah], you look a picture today!"
Scout to Dill and Jem behind his back: "He don't say a picture of what."
Atticus gives her a "shush" swat on the arm.

Punishingly Intricate
So The Descent is getting decent reviews but I don't think I'll see it because I can't watch horror movies at all anymore (I get too freaked out and then I can't sleep and I really hate not sleeping). All the reviews are mentioning a big shock that comes early on in the movie and I'm dying to know what it is. If anybody sees the movie, can you tell me?
