Host ,'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.
that is hilarious in a way. I mean, damn.
No, it IS. I mean, it's not meant to be, but the look on the bad guys' faces is priceless. One of them asks, "What kind of man can turn even his LIFE MEMORIES into a WEAPON?"
Duh. Batman.
Shoulda tried to brain-suck Superman.

But that would have left them empty-handed.
::snerk:: It's funny because it's true.
But that would have left them empty-handed.
And kind of limp.
What? I'm a total Batman fangirl.
Batman: Scarier than you could ever believe since 193-something.
The African Queen isn't available on DVD? That's just tragic.
If you were going to choose a movie as a candidate for 'one of the all time greats' that would be widely recognized and agreed on, what would it be? Not the best movie of all time, but a movie you could get widespread agreement would be a candidate for that (with some people of course considering it the best, but the idea is that almost everyone would consider it one of the greats.) For example, maybe Casablanca?
Taking this not as meaning 'what's your favourite movie, Fay?', but rather 'what movie do you think has huge/universal appeal?' I'm going to go with The Shawshank Redemption.
"I want to stop crime!" "I want Rachael!" "I want to fuck shit up!"
Seriously, the movie is like watching a supervillain AA meeting. "Hi, I'm the Joker and I'm an anarch-aholic." Lather, rinse, repeat.
I have never seen The Shawshank Redemption. DH hates it so I probably won't bother.

I think the novella is one of King's better ones.
