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...
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Slap my hand now! Also, I hated the politics of it. And just, well, damn near everything. I mean, what a waste of a vintage dress!

I'll second that. Although it's not one I saw back in high school.

What is even happening?
I'll second megan's sorrow over P-C's lack of love for Sixteen Candles.
I think I was a freshman in college when PiP came out. I didn't see it 'til much later.

Because books.
I'll second megan's sorrow over P-C's lack of love for Sixteen Candles.
Thirded.
I loved Pretty in Pink, too, though. I loved Andie with the mad sewing skilz and the pink car, and Ducky's "Try a Little Tenderness" performance kills me. every. time. And Harry Dean Stanton as Hangdog!Dad!
That said, I couldn't understand what Andie saw in Blaine, and I kind of hated the ending. The class politics didn't ring true to me, either -- we had rich kids exactly like that in the town where I went to high school, and they didn't give a shit who partied with them, especially since they mostly bought their drugs from the have-nots anyway.
::scratches head:: Well, I thought I liked it.

Amy, I think it's one of those, "Although it is not without its problems, I enjoyed it," movies for me, too.
