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.
Hah! That comic reminded me of something I came across this week netsurfing - a dude did illustrations of superheroes in their geriatric years.
I didn't realize at first that the site was in French and so my first reaction was "Electra Decadence? Wow, that's a really cool name."
Ha! Totally missed that the first time around.
There are three Easter eggs: the alt-text, the RSS feed title, and the comments subject. If you have Greasemonkey, install this script to see them all!
Oh, my ever-lovin'.
After my comment about Highlander: The Source, I see this: 'Highlander' remake in the works at Summit.
Massive mixed feelings. Especially since the folks behind Iron Man are involved.
Can a franchise sooo-tainted be redeemed?
Let's find out!
oh Netflix! You evil merchants of entertainment.
I fell asleep accidentally in an early evening nap and dreamed I attended a screening of a new Uwe Boll flick.
WHHHHYYYY.
In the dream, there was a Q&A with the director afterward and I went up to him and ranted at him for 20 minutes for being a sorry excuse of a human being. I can't remember too much about the film, but it had some hideous racist bits in addition to being utter crap. And the thing is, I've never even had the dubious pleasure of watching an Uwe Boll movie thus far.
I don't know WTF my subconscious is trying to tell me here. *faceplam*
Seeing Iron Man gave me a hankering for more RDJ, so went out and got myself Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Not as awesome as I remember it being, but still plenty awesome and enjoyable and horrific. Whatever you do, though, do NOT listen to the commentary. Val, you are a dick.
What are some other good Robert Downey Jr. flicks? I want to see Zodiac, am scared of Fur. Actually, as much as I love the guy, I really haven't seen a whole lot of his work. I haven't seen Chaplin!
Um, maybe the better question is what should I avoid?
What are some other good Robert Downey Jr. flicks?
He's pretty great in Wonderboys, which has the added virtue of being about the secret lives of Iron Man and Spider-Man in the publishing industry.
Seconding Wonderboys, and strongly recommending Chaplin and Soapdish for further great RDJ films.
Definitely see Soapdish if you haven't. That's a hilarious film.
I love HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS for RDJ, but I may be an exception.
