Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Why is Virgin Suicides considered slight? It's a story of, what, five sisters who all committed suicide, most on the same night, and why they did it. Was it a trifle because the girls were pretty? I don't get it.
Also, I think it was the male protagonist who was dreamy and glazed in LiT.

Huh. That's actually pretty interesting. I wonder if that means that those poor, doomed souls got to spend their last days before the Persians arrived soaking in what probably amounted to the area's finest spas, pampering themselves before their inevitable deaths. That would certainly provide an interesting new light on the reasons for chosing the pass as the battleground, as well....
"Sure, the pass is strategically advantageous, but I'll be damned if I let those stinkin' Persians have my hot springs!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Actually, yes it does.
When scouts initially informed Xerxes of the size of the Greek force, and of the Spartans who were performing preparations which included naked calisthenics and combing their hair, Xerxes found the reports laughable.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Clearly, this means that the key to winning the War on the Middle EastTerror is to send Kyan Douglas and Carson Kressley to the front lines in Iraq in order to give our soldiers exercise and grooming advice.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
by ways of introduction: KristinT introduced me to b.org, hiya.
I had no idea who Sofia Coppola was when I saw Lost in Translation and I loved it. That it is all about mood is one of the things I loved about it. It's not like other flicks. I went back and watched The Virgin Suicides and dug that too. Sometimes I read what others have written about her pictures and wonder if I've been deceived but I think if you enjoy something that's all you need. You can analyze any picture until it falls apart. I'm going into Marie Antoinette with an open mind.

This. While there are times I want to analyze a movie, my first impulse in movie watching it just to watch the story and let myself sink into it. As long as nothing pulls me out of the story, I don't stop to think what anything means...it just is. Afterward, if I feel it was either really good or really bad, I'll take a look at why I feel that way. Movies are escape for me, not a homework assignment. YHomeworkMV.
