Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
he's one of those men who just gets hotter and hotter as he gets older.
Yes! Though I liked him when he took a turn for the badassed on DS9, he's ripened very nicely.
It's funny--Baltar no longer reminds me of him. I realise that Baltar was reminding me of his doctor character, and Bashir no longer dominates my Siddiq thoughts.
Just got back from seeing Blades of Glory and 300. BofG is not as good as Talladega Nights but it was mildly funny nonetheless. Will Arnett and everyone's costumes were my two favorite parts. The 300 was purty and ab-tastic but awfully one-dimensional. And predictable--fight, regroup, rinse, repeat.
True, I found McConaughey completely lacking in hotness, which is odd considering how the bald-with-tattoos thing can sometimes move me. But the rest...
Every time I see an ad for 300 I start laughing uncontrollably. It's like those Travolta pictures from Battlefield Earth, good for a random chortle when I'm feeling glum.
For what it's worth, Lee, I never warmed to any aspect of Mirrormask and wish I'd bailed towards the beginning. But this is a minority opinion in these parts.
So, I caught a bit of Notting Hill on USA (I think) this morning. The book thief at the beginning is played by the main guy from Black Books! I doublechecked with IMDB. The child actress from the space movie is played by Mischa Barton! (It's one of those films.)
I thought that visually Mirrormask was stunning, but the story and characters didn't grab me, despite an impeccable pedigree. But, oh, was it gorgeous to watch in a theatre!
The story was certainly less impressive than the pretty the first time I watched it, but, as I've watched it a few more times, I do love it for being a children's movie about the complicatedness of the mother-daughter relationship, and, once I started watching it as that, as much as just a story, I really fell in love with it.
Mirrormask had me from the scene where they take the books to the library. I don't think there are words to express how happy that sequence made me.
Mirrormask had me from the moment she said she wanted to run away from the circus. But I am easy that way.
I just watched Stranger Than Fiction and thoroughly enjoyed it. I may have cried at the end. I thought that it was specifically designed to appeal to me from the ads, and it was.
Now going to watch Rumor Has It, because it's on and DH isn't here.
It's not too bad...not as funny as I was hoping for, but not something I'd turn the channel on.
