I felt too young for it when it was on although I doubt that is technically so.
You're never too young for Molly Dodd!
Damn, I wish it were on DVD. I think there are parts of it you'd 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.

Because books.

I remember Molly Dodd! I really liked it. Why on earth isn't it on DVD yet? Isn't, like, even Hee Haw available on DVD?

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, I think I'd like it now. I was eighteen then(or something) and still trying to be Normal, which I sucked at. Yeah, there are definitely things on DVD that make me think "Huh...who cares about that enough..."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Hey now! A Life Less Ordinary has a ROCKIN' few scenes.
Oh, I'll agree with that (loved the kaoroke scene myself, the end credits and, as Matt says, just about everything Holly Hunter did - her clench-teethed voice was a thing of hilarity), but way too much of it was painful to watch (the Ewan scenes early on when he gets into trouble are watch from the hall bad, and really didn't need to be).
Despite it being a total stereotype role, I ADORED Tony Shaloub in QUICK CHANGE.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think my favorite Straithairn role was Sneakers. Second was Passionfish.

Straithairn was really creepy in Dolores Claiborne--that scene where he forced his daughter to give him a hand job on the ferry gave me the chills.

From Wizard News:
Rumor: Warner Bros. thinking of firing Daniel Radcliffe
According to The Daily Mail in the UK, executives at Warner Bros, producers of the Harry Potter movies, are said to have been "utterly dismayed" by publicity shots of Daniel Radcliffe naked for his appearance in Equus, as well as the fact that he spends a full 10 minutes on stage without his clothes
I hope it's not true.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I think pulling him would be a really poor choice. Everyone's invested in him as the character. (I might reconsider seeing the rest of the movies.)

"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
I'd stop paying good money to see them, no question. It's not like he's flashing random people on the street, it's a decades-old critically acclaimed (if hard to watch) play.
