hell, I had a pretty great dad and I STILL wish I had an Atticus.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My favorite moment is when Scout calls out the town's men in their hoods.
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.

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?

The Descent as in the one with the cavers?

Oh well then - I don't actually remember any shocks from very early in the movie. The scary doesn't happen until about a half hour in, iirc. The first reveal of the monsters is pretty creepy and shocking though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think it came out last year in the UK and is already out on DVD, but we're only getting it over here now. And, yeah, I've been hearing really good things about it.
