Cordelia ,'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.
Saw Spidey 3 tonight.
I agree with a lot of things said upthread, but I still found myself liking the damn film. Which, I don't know what that says about me. Probably that I'm just easy.
I do think that this was a damn WASTE of Topher Grace and Venom. But I kinda want to see Topher play a vampire now. Yowza .
See? Totally easy.

I don't believe that women's list, at all. Dirty Dancing? Seriously?!
Look at that bad boy SW trilogy. I don't know if I've ever rewatched The Sound Of Music. Hmm.
Spidey 3 question: When you think about Harry's change of heart in the last act, is the assumption that his previous grip on unreality was a sane one? I mean, when presented with truth from Peter (lamely explained, BTW), was he driven temporarily mad by grief or something? I ask because I liked it, but in liking it am ignoring the parts I hated which had him frothing irrationally at the mouth. Seems like a big deal to be cleared up by a few (VERY LATE) words from his butler. Can one psychotically unbreak in a manner of minutes?
Dirty Dancing? Seriously?!
Oh, I believe that one most of all. NSM with The Sound of Music.
Sound of Music is on tv at the same time every year though, or was, anyway. I'll bet it picks up a lot there.
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies I can't help but watch every time I find it when flipping through channels. It's a sickness.
This is 3½ years old, but it's the best RoTK review ever!
Huh. None of the movies listed for men OR women are ones I watch often. Except maybe Aliens, but since I only watch it about once a year, I don't call that "often". Not compared to, say, Beetlejuice.
The Greatest Long Tracking Shots in Cinema.
