I was surprised how much I enjoyed Catch and Release. I gave the film a little slack for the first-time-filmmaker and I really enjoyed Kevin Smith (he's basically just playing himself) but Mom & Dad didn't know who he was and they found the film to be pretty good too. It covered some new cinematic ground for me which is rare these days.

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 haven't discussed the movies Saw and Hostel, I don't watch those because I find them incredibly disturbing on many levels.
But what's on SCI FI right now at 7 pm EST? Saw. Granted it's a heavily edited version, I'm sure, and it had a disclaimer about disturbing content before hand. but really how can anyone think this is appropriate for 7 pm?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Huh. There's not really much in the way of graphic violence in the first Saw film from memory, but it's not a movie I'd ever place at 7pm on schedules. And I'm in the UK, and we have very liberal TV.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Doesn't someone cut his own leg off?
Of course, it's not really sci-fi anyway, but they've spent the whole day showing the Hannibal Lecter movies.

Well there is dead body in a pool of blood from where he's shot himself in the head. That body is just lying there between them for the longest time.
I just flipped back over there and it's at a doctor's office so I don't know what else it is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm watching Saw now. It's not as horrific as I'd expected. (At least, not yet.) It isn't merely torture and gore; it's a dark psychological thriller. With torture and gore. Not really my thing; I'm kinda watching from the hall.

I saw Waitress today. Cute, and it made me hungry for pie! So, I treated myself to a strawberry-rhubarb mini pie from Wild Oats.

Oh, I almost forgot! I saw a trailer for Death at a Funeral and it looks like fun!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I hope Waitress is still at our theatre this weekend, because Saturday is going to be the first time we will have had the chance to see it. We still haven't seen POTC3 yet, but I assume it will be in theatres a little longer.

Compassionately intolerant
Saw Ocean's 13 today.
I went with my perky, always up for a laugh, buddy. We both laughed outloud and I didn't think about it too much. In the end, I really enjoyed myself.
Saw the Stardust preview...pretty!
