No, I don't think so, although I've seen Ms. Glennie a lot.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The Radcliffe rumors were crazy. They wouldn't jeopardize a billion-dollar franchise over a stage play. In London. And he very likely has an iron-clad contract for these kinds of things, and the appearance in the play would have been cleared in advance.

I'm going to see "The Science of Sleep" this weekend. I'm really excited--have been ever since I first read about the film.

Oh! It's fabulous. Provoked a really good discussion between me and DH when we saw it the first time.
(If we were still on TT, I'd be tempted to start a "Gael Garcia Bernal - Brilliant AND Hott!!" thread because of this movie. What with all the hot and the acting and the funny and the GUH.)

I did not love or even like many of Gondry's choices as a screenwriter, but I did enjoy goodly chunks of Gondry the fabulist visionary here and there.

The Number 23 sucked so hard it doesn't deserve to be in the same post as Science of Sleep. I was hoping it would be another Wicker Man, but alas, no, it's just bad.
For a movie billing itself as a thriller, it was kind of amazingly boring. 90% of the movie is Jim Carrey's character talking about a book he's reading. The other 10% is close-ups of a shifty-eyed dog. ('Cause that's how we know the dog is evil.)
The fucking CLIMAX of the movie is Jim Carrey STILL TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING BOOK. Only now he understands What It All Means, so it's basically him RECAPPING the previous 70 minutes of the film, presumably because New Line is aware that most of the audience will have fallen asleep by this point so there's no point wasting money on having anything actually, you know, happen.

I saw the ad for The Number 23 and somehow I just knew it was Joel Schumacher. No one does utterly pointless paranoia more pointlessly. Kudos, Joel!

I have a whole list of movies that I want to see, because I haven't been to the cinema since December, in Dublin. The cinema is considerably more difficult to get to here than it was there; it's one of the things I miss. "Bobby" and "Dreamgirls," "Hott Fuzz" maybe--are you getting that in the states? "For Your Consideration" if I had the time and the cash.. Babel" looks interesting, but I've heard mixed reviews.
Also the Irish Film Festival is going on, which means they're finally showing The Illusionist in Ireland. I already saw a bootlegged copy, and I really enjoyed the film; but I don't know if I want to see it again so soon, you know? [link] Those are the films showing this weekend. Maybe something will peak my interest.
Suddenly, there's loads of things I miss about being in Dublin.

Yes! Ironically, the first (US) press screening for it was last night, meaning we technically could have gone to see that instead of 23. (If DH wasn't being paid to review 23, I have to keep reminding myself. My GOD that movie sucked.)
