Jon, that's what I meant, yeah, but that seems too easy. What's the point of having a choice if you can just try and see which one works? In those situations, choosing the wrong door would cause some sort of harm. I don't think she even turned the key in the door the fairies pointed her to; she was about to, and then she just decided it was the left one. I wasn't sure what made her do that. Del Toro says that choice is a strong theme, so this is an important scene. Maybe it's the very fact that she chose for herself rather than following what the fairies and the book said.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Art Crawl!!!
I was hanging out with a friend who has an HD tv and I watched bits of TNT's HD On Demand of the LotR movies.
Oh my. Totally worth it. You can see amazing detail on the costumes! Eowyn's particularly lovely as was Galadriel's dress in the Mirror of Galadriel scene.

Hey. New board.
Re: Pan's Labyrinth, I think that choosing the left door instead of the middle one was very much a choice, and one of the big tests of actual Princess-hood. She knew because she knew- it was built into her, somehow.
I loved that movie oh so much.

I just sort of saw Sixteen Candles for the first time. I say sort of because I stopped giving it my full attention after about half an hour because it was pretty bad. It seems like a "You had to be there" movie.

Hey. New board.
Sixteen Candles is my least favorite Eighties Icon Movie. Except perhaps Pretty In Pink, which I've only seen once and simply couldn't handle, due to the fact that I hated every single character.
The Breakfast Club and Say Anything, are definite winners in my mind, with Say Anything edging just slightly ahead. Mmm. Lloyd Dobbler.

I liked both of those, yes. I haven't seen Pretty in Pink yet. Not sure if I should, after this, although I want to appreciate "Ruskie Business."

OK, so if I haven't seen The Prestige yet, I should go see it cause I can get in free, right? And save Children of Men for later? Direct me, oh wise movie-istas...

wait. what does Pretty in Pink have to do with Ruskie Business?
ETA: ignore me. i remember now. Meg and Duncan's outfits. really though, that's the only thing that's similar to Pretty in Pink.

Free Prestige is definitely a good thing. I'd take it, even if I've seen the film once already -- unfortunately I was having a bit of illness that involved running out to the toilets several times in the first half hour, so it would be good to be filled in with the stuff I couldn't see.
