Me, I'm voting that a traumatic Davey & Goliath experience warped her for life.
I was gonna go with the original KING KONG myself.
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems. Mal: See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Sundance has shown a movie that the two Chicago Tribune movie reviewers actually liked, an Irish musical called Once. From their description, I hope it gets picked up for U.S. distribution, because I'd definitely go see it.
(Now, I'm off to IMDB to see who Glen Hansard played in The Commitments...)
ETA: OK, looked it up--which one of the guitar players was Outspan Foster? Was he the cute one with the reddish curly hair, or the rather dorky dark-haired one?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Foster was the guitar player, therefore the one with the red hair. The dark-haired one, Derek, played bass.
I've watched that movie way too many times. I didn't even have to IMDB for that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yes, it's the medium itself. And it probably was early monster movies that contributed, but I remember being freaked by Gumby and Pokey and Davey and Goliath.
I enjoyed Chicken Run, but I mostly "watched" with my eyes shut. I'm a freak, I know.

After poking around the IMDB entry for The Commitments, I'm now tempted to pull out my DVD of it and watch tonight.

"So who were your influences?"
My former boss (who now has a CD out) used to team-interview prospective new hires. And both of us had to forcibly restrain ourselves from asking that question.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I adore that movie.

Speaking of stop-action, this has probably already made the rounds, but it's entertaining enough to risk the dreaded re-post: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love Tony vs. Paul!
Those silly guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was awesome. I especially like the FAQ.
4. Yes, we really did jump all those times.
I was wondering that!!
