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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's the signal, mei mei.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The one that can't be stopped?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like this part:
the hit science fiction movie Serenity
HIT.
Is this the first HD movie to be pirated? Is that like an award?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It is, Zenkitty. Whedonesque has been following the story. I'm not sure if it's a laudable occurrence, but it certainly gets the name out, and people are taking the thematic connotations very seriously.

So I finally saw Raising Arizona.
Er.
That was weird. Often dumb. But always strange and a little off-kilter. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. My favorite thing about it was Leonard Smalls.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

The trailers make it look amazingly cool, but apparently it is not.

the dialogue is cheesy, the acting is mediocre and the plot is pointless.
plus, it's always raining. i guess that was supposed to make it creepy. or something. it's even more ridiculous when it's constantly raining and the main character is driving a convertible with the top down for pretty much the whole movie.
Taylor in his skivvies though? hum. in. a.
