Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I loved Enchanted, so take that as you will.

This, Gris, is because you are adorable. A. Dor. A. Ble. And I want to pinch your cheek. No! Not that cheek!

thinks

Yeah, well, maybe that too.

(To be fair, I really liked the song'n'dance number in the park, and the clean-the-house routine. And the dresses. YMMAndClearlyDoesV.)

ion, God, I have such the crush on Victor Garber. Well, on SpyDaddy, to be strictly accurate, but Mr Garber gets to bask in the halo of crush, what with having created that performance. And of course it's so disarming to know that, unlike SpyDaddy, he can smile! And sing! And dance! And be FABulous, dahling! (Although probably not kill you with his pinky. Which is probably just as well.)

...actually, upon reflection my crush may be upon the entire SpyFamilyRobinson. Just - mostly on Dad and Mom. Because - gah.

Wait, does that mean the Gris is really Pete?

Let me know if you're up for seeing a movie this weekend, David.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I thought you all were going to see P.S. I Love You.

Besides National Treasure (sigh), I've seen nothing lately. So I just wanted to see something, not necessarily that particular movie. And, you know, spend time with the buffistas.

ION, I got home from the airport at 2am and am really not happy to be at work right now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Saw NO COUNTRY... over the weekend and really liked it. There was some bone dry humor, but definitely one of the grimmest movies the Coen's have ever done. It's a movie that sticks with you. Loved the use of sound (and the minimal use of soundtrack).

That said, I hope they do a BIG LEBOWSKI/O BROTHER style fun movie next.

Has Persepolis opened in SF?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We saw Sweeny for Christmas. A woman with her pre-teen daughter walked out in the first 15 minutes or so.

I guess she thought it would be a feel good movie about murder and cannibalism.

Punishingly Intricate

Some people walked out of the screening of Sweeney Todd that I saw. I can imagine doing that if I had a blood squick regardless of the expectations I had for the theme of the movie.

eta except that I've never walked out of a movie so I can't really imagine what would prompt me to do it for the first time.

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

My sister went to see it because she'll try anything with Depp in it, even though she hates plays and musicals. I can see the Depposity not being enough in the end for people willing to give it a shot.
