Glory ,'Potential'
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.
I lived in Hoboken for ten years, never saw him.
Well, my dad's friend worked with him down in south Texas. This family friend is also how I connect to Mutant Enemy people. His daughter worked for them (although I haven't seen her since she was a little girl).
She just knew him socially from hanging out with John Sayles and his wife.
Which is even better!
Anton Yelchin has been cast as Chekhov in the new Star Trek movie.
He's cute.
refrains from pointing out that Chekov didn't even join the Enterprise crew until the second season.
I've been showing Emmett some Bruce Lee clips on YouTube.
It prompted him to say (very wistfully): "I wish I was Bruce Lee. Except not dead."
Did anyone else find Happy Feet, uh, deeply problematic? I couldn't finish it, just sent it back to Netflix with a "Begone!" hand gesture.
I found it deeply stupid, shrift. And yeah, best not to waste any more time on it, after that realization.
Oh, bless you. I thought the musical numbers were pointless and interminable, I had a lot of rage for the overt racism, and the fact that they presented the protagonist as mentally retarded because he was different made me want to stab the moviemakers in the face.
I have a three year old that keeps asking to watch it but I hope Surf's Up comes out on DVD or PPV soon so I can show him penguins and he'll be happy.
My mind is odd sometimes.
"Layla" was just playing on Launch. And it gets to the instrumental part at the end, and the images that run through my mind are from Goodfellas and all of those dead people that were involved in the airport heist.
