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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I adore The Professional and Nikita, and was pleasantly surprised by and caught up in Banlieue 13.

I will love him forever for the first two, even if I don't love all his later work. And then...dude the reason I saw War was because of the Statham love generated by The Transporter.

Which, I guess, makes me mad. Pfft.

Compassionately intolerant

I share the Staitham love and was so looking forward to War. Pfft, indeed.

No love for León / The Professional ?

I haven't seen it. I keep meaning to. Really.

In looking up info on Jean-Pierre Jeunet in IMDB, I've learned that he declined an offer to direct the last Harry Potter (OotP), which I would have loved to have seen, and he's in pre-production on Life of Pi, which worries me just a tad.

Punishingly Intricate

whoa. okay.

I loved Greenaway when I was a film student (of course) but I haven't rewatched anything in years.

The Rock in Witch Mountain.

I noticed he's in the de-rigeur "You stuck the big man with the cute kid???" movie coming out soon, as well as having a role in the new Get Smart opposite Steve Carell. Only one of those projects looks like it has any promise.

I don't know that Vin Diesel and Hulk Hogan are the best models to pattern one's movie career after.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Oh wow, I so wanna see Eastern Promises RIGHT NOW (but of course since it's David Cronenberg, I'll have to cover my eyes for 50% of the movie).

And hey! the Guvanator did Kindergarten Cop. And Twins. And I actually enjoyed The Pacifier for all it's cute dumb for-the-kidsness. *hugs Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel* *but not Arnie or Terry*
