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.
Chungking Express! In the Mood for Love!
Tony Leung OMFG. How is he so hot? And so sad? His sadness is integral to his hotness. I'm trying to remember any film of his in which he wasn't heartbroken in some way, and coming up blank.
I have 2046 at home from Netflix. Must find time to watch, oh yes.
Here's the (very short) Movieweb article.
Hey, anyone else have movie recs? I am left with nothing but time. Rewatch of old favorites will be welcomed too.
What kind of thing are you in the mood for?
I liked Faye Wong in Chungking Express. She was hilarious and awesome.
(Actually I've liked Faye Wong in absolutely everything I've seen her in, and despite 2046 being completely incomprehensible, she was the most gorgeous robot in the history of robotics.)
Plus, Chungking Express has both Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro. You can't lose!

Don't you mean the future of robotics?
What kind of thing are you in the mood for?
I've been watching stuff that doesn't involve a lot of brain, like Princess Diaries 2 and Little Black Book and Ultraviolet and Blade. I don't think I could handle heavy material, which is why I haven't rented "The Good German" or "Capote" or "Good Night and Good Luck," all of which I want to see.
I liked The Host a lot.
For mindless, violent fun, I always go with the '80s classics of Robocop and The Hidden. Robocop just came out in a newly repackaged DVD release with some decent extras, and since I don't already own it, I'm thinking about picking it up.
