The second half of Caché had its moments, but oh my God, still so boring and full of WTF. The shooting style, designed to mimic the look of the tapes, bugged the shit out of me. And the movie could have been a half hour shorter; it's full of random, pointless, time-wasting scenes. I'm with megan on the payoff. I kind of want to punch Michael Haneke in the face right now.
Love makes you do the wacky.

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.
Look at this sweet fanart Wonder Woman poster.

So, we got a PS3 to use as a Blu-Ray player. Guess what I'm watching!
The Blu-Ray edition of Nightmare Before Christmas is ASTONISHING. It's like a brand-new movie. I have never seen this level of detail in the movie before, not even when I went and saw the fancy 3-D release a couple of years ago. The textures! The teeny-tiny swirly details on everything!

Follow-up on Jilli's squeeing; yes, the blu-ray Nightmare is really amazing. The quality of the transfer is exceptional and the textures are unbelievable.
We also got The Fall on BD. OMG. Stunning.

“Not dead yet!”
The Fountain was absolutely beautiful on Blu-Ray. Still a weird-ass movie, but beautiful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The first thing that I will buy when I get a BluRay will be Planet Earth.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
y'all are really making me want a blu-ray. is it really only worth it to have a blu-ray with an HD tv though? or does it still look amazing on a regular tv?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If someone listed THX-1138 among their favorite movies on a dating site would you think they genuinely enjoyed it or would you think they were being pretentious?
