You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Hey. New board.

Possibly my favorite line from a review EVER:

This is the snakiest plane movie and the planeiest snake movie ever made.

ETA: I actually really like The whole review.

It's basically a movie about two questions:

1. What is the meaning of life? Oh, sorry, wrong movie. I meant to say, how many places can snakes be on a plane and how many places on a body can they bite? Answer: all of them

2. What items on a plane can be used to combat, destroy, and barricade oneself from snakes? Answer: More than you'd think

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Heh. The Flick Philosopher's review of SoaP: "It is, as you might suspect, very much in the tradition of that genre of socially aware, psychologically insightful films of the 1960s that Truffaut called cinema du serpent....

Hey. New board.

I just finished Anthony Rapp's (Mark Cohen in the original Broadway cast of Rent) memoir, Without You. I am finally ready to watch the movie, I think.

I expect I'll be crying soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been listening to that on tape-- with Anthony Rapp reading. I am enjoying it thusfar!

Hey. New board.

It's good.

10 minutes in, and I'm already wondering about some of the decisions. The order is slightly different and it leads to redundancies. Why couldn' they leave it in the original order?

I am quite liking the bits where they speak lines that were song originally, but in the same rhythm. That works well.

Okay, no more Rent thoughts until I'm done. This isn't the musicals thread.

Anthony Rapp--a fellow Jolietan! My mom first saw him in The Little Prince on Broadway when he was about 12 years old, and I saw him play Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when it was in previews in Chicago.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Transformers Revealed!

Orci and Kurtzman promise that the story will be accessible to the uninitiated while staying loyal to the legions of fans. They also say the story will be told through the eyes of its human characters, who are witnessing the intergalactic Autobot-Decepticon war come abruptly to Earth.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Transformers Revealed!

I'm kind of annoyed they felt the need to pretty much make up new characters for almost all of the Decepticons.

Yeah, most of them didn't sound familiar. I wondered why. But I guess that's the way with movies. I mean, why the hell would you make up new mutants for the X-Men movies when there are, I imagine, hundreds in canon already? It's not like they performed any function necessary to the plot.
