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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey. New board.
I am glad. I'm not sure what I would do if the last two movies had a new Harry. Possibly go crazy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
We rented Idiocracy the other night. Would have made an excellent short but as a full-length movie it was just too dumb. The first 30 minutes or so were funny as hell because it's true!

Last night we watched The Miracle of Morgan's Creek and The Quiet Man.
I think the passage of time has made Morgan's Creek less laugh-out-loud funny and more really-damn-weird. Not that it wasn't amusing, but we spent a lot of time saying, "Wow, they're still piling on more complications? Where is this going?" Plus, a lot of the comedy is based to some degree on shock value, and since much of it isn't shocking now, that hurts it a bit. (The premise is that a girl gets drunk, may or may not get married to a soldier whose name she can't remember, and then finds out she's pregnant. Mayhem ensues.)
The Quiet Man was also somewhat weird, not to mention kinky. But also quite charming and gorgeous. Bonus points for the IRA joke, too. I love movies where half the supporting characters have their own subplots.

My understanding is that the studio took away control from Mike Judge, and that the movie that you saw was not necessarily the movie he wanted to make.
I would have liked to see the movie he wanted to make.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My understanding is that the studio took away control from Mike Judge, and that the movie that you saw was not necessarily the movie he wanted to make.
Watching the DVD, it's very obvious that this was the case. There are several scenes that just don't make any sense, in a very "the studio didn't know what the fuck they were holding in their hands and so handed it off to a herd of crazed ferrets to do the final cut and then plugged the holes with vapid voiceover narration" kind of way. (The VO isn't terrible, but it was clearly slapped on at the last minute after focus groups reported that the only way anyone would be able to tell what was happening in what remained of this movie would be for someone to constantly explain it while the film was playing.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Wow.
I never saw "Catwoman". Halle Berry was enough to put me off seeing it.
But after reading that plot summary...is that for real?
Because now I want to kill and kill until my arms are too tired to move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do they really mean she's illusive? We should be so lucky. More illusiveness, please.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe they misspelled "dellusive"?
