I'm tired of it.(Although it seems I haven't watched it closely in some while...I've never noticed the scenes JZ mentions.) But it's invaded me anyway...my biggest fear is that Clarence would show up and find nothing.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
George Bailey Lassos Stork is one of my favorite scenes, too, JZ.
I love the movie along with you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
erika, if you've seen it on broadcast TV you may never have seen the in-bed scene -- it's sometimes cut to make room for commercials, since the fact that she's having a baby is revealed in the very next scene and this one is therefore clearly unnecessary. Sure, it's all warm and rich and character-revelatory, but what's that compared to an extra 100K in ad revenue?

I may have, or possibly a Ted Turner cable station...it's one of those things I've seen so much I quit seeing it, if that makes any sense.Like I couldn't tell you when the first time was.

Here you go, Sean. A rave review for the new Die Hard.

I saw that this morning, Hec, and I meant to come in and post about it! I'm really excited to see it now.

A rave review by someone who seems to believe that blockbuster summer movies are an early 90s innovation, and that evil hackers are a new development in movie villainy.
Odd.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OMG, Strega is not even kidding about that.
an invigorating return to the style of blockbuster that dominated summers back in the early 1990s. In those days, when the blockbuster was new, there was an excitement about it as a popular new form.
!!!
Related: I watched some of Catch and Release last night (partly because I am an idiot and was trying to get my mind off my fiance being gone...by watching a movie about a woman whose fiance dies) and Tim Olyphant is the kind of greasy-yet-sexy that Colin Farrell never mastered.

Glad to see the good review of LFoDH. Yeah, the reviewer sounds like he's about 25 years old, making ridiculous assertions about how long the summer blockbuster has been around, and other silly statements like that.
But I'm excited.
