Inside Man is well worth a couple of quid for the rental. Very clever and very satisfying.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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 think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love his peformance in this movie, and I'm not really surprised that that scene got laughs. It's not a comic scene by any stretch, but enough of the film (especially Carrell's character) is right on that line between funny and sad that if you weren't paying close attention, you could miss it.
I should go see it again while it's still in theatres. Such a wonderful little movie.

The thing that amuses me here is the rest of their product line: van Gogh, Bosch, contemporary artists. And SoaP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read the plot of Descent. What a horrible film. Not in a Hostel sort of a way (only). ::shudders::

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We saw The Devil Wears Prada today. Lots of fun, and Meryl Streep was great. However, the weight thing was disturbing, if not surprising. Anne Hathaway is a 4 in real life (according to an interview I saw with her) and she played a 6 in the movie and was called fat through much of it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
sj, I think it was supposed to be disturbing. AH is so obviously NOT fat. It felt like a commentary on the fashion industry rather than saying she's really overweight.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
ChiKat, I got that it was meant to be that way, but knowing that it is likely the reality of that industry made it more disturbing for me.

Hey. New board.
If Anne Hathaway is fat, I am enormous. And I can't buy shirts at casual stores (which only have small/medium/large) because my body is a medium (and sometimes a small), but my longs are an extra-long.
But, yeah, I definitely think it's a fair read of the fashion industry. Which is, indeed, the point, and is also, yes, rather scary.
To say something that hasn't already been said in this conversation: I want all (well, most - i still don't get those golf hat things, and why models in them are supposed to be fashionable rather than strange) of the clothes in that movie, even though, being male, I'd look rather off in most of them. Maybe I really just want Anne, IN the clothes, also in my house. Or couch. Or... bunk.
Okay, I'm digressing.

I want the clothes too, but in my size.
