'Not Fade Away'
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.
"Just once, it would be great to see him play a spiteful neurotic or a selfish bastard,"
Yeah, he did that in Stephen King's Dreamcatcher and that godawful Chain Reaction movie with Keanu Reeves. Not encouraging me to see him try it again if it comes bundled in movies of that quality.

I just finished watching Zodiac. i kind of loved it. people really are the scariest thing about living in this world, aren't they?
"This world would be perfect, Tim, if it was nothing but kids and dogs." --"God's Detective" Frank Pembleton (/ Homicide likes carrots) Haven't seen Zodiac yet...it's in my queue.
It is, tiggy. We watched it a few weeks back and enjoyed the movie. I thought it was very well done.
"This world would be perfect, Tim, if it was nothing but kids and dogs."Yeah, tell it to William Golding, Pembleton.
Yeah...maybe the Jesuits never covered that one.

Yes. This is why I spend a lot of time at home. *shudder* I don't want to watch Zodiac.
My sister saw Game Plan today and she actually enjoyed it.
Finally saw Across the Universe yesterday. I'm pretty sure I liked it. Parts of it didn't work exactly, and I did some confused blinking at certain plot points, but I liked the feel and the random Scenes of the Trippy. Also, it turns out I haven't heard an awful lot of Beatles songs.
Evan Rachel Wood is still a good actress, though she didn't get to showcase her awesomeness as much in this as in some of her previous films. The dude who played her British boy was also pretty great, with some of the same charm that Ewan brought to Moulin Rouge.
All the lost footage has been found and is included in the new director's cut of Blade Runner. Ridley Scott answers The Question in no uncertain terms in this NYT article.
