I loved The Fall. I admire Pan's Labyrinth, I haven't been able to bring myself to rewatch it
Oh, yeah, I'm the same. I loved the little girl in the Fall!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Compassionately intolerant
I absolutely could watch the Fall over and over again. Despite my Del Toro love, I would not see PL again.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't get why everyone loves The Wrestler so much. Maybe I didn't give it a fair chance since I was so disturbed by Requiem for a Dream but I'm not understanding what the critics are raving about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cast shot from Wolverine. It's nice to see Ryan Reynolds back in shape again, never mind the other hotties.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Defiance last night. It's too long and suffers from over-earnestness, but the story it tells is great. There were certain stirring lines which were so obviously scripted to be "message" that they made me wince, but I found left with a lot of powerful images and the film has stayed with me. All the actors were very good and Daniel Craig remains totally yummy, even wearng rags and covered with dirt.

There was someone in that photo besides Hugh Jackman?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, I noticed Ryan. Meep. I had no idea he was cast as Deadpool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hugh as Logan is a constant for me. Ryan as Deadpool, plus the Gambit and Sabretooth casting is some lovely gravy.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
We watched Wall*E last night (though we haven't watched the short features yet). I thought it was cute, and sweet, and wow was Jess right when she said it was John Crichton and Aeryn Sun. (At one point, after Eve shot the hell out of something, I said, "Shooting makes me feel better!")
I *loved* the massage-bot with its wildly flailing arms. Although I think my favorite was the cleaning robot (Mo?), obsessed with cleaning all the foreign contaminants.
I want to complain about the idea that 700 years in the future, all humans, if given the opportunity, will float around on hoverchairs and be all corpulent and talking to their friends on the magic screens (as I type this on my laptop, ahem). But you know? My faith in humanity is fairly low, and I don't actually find that idea so implausible.
Was is Corwood who said that, at the end, when the Axiom lands on clutter!Earth, that it should have been like the Jamestown colony, with death death death? That's *exactly* what I thought! (Along with "So WHERE are they going to sleep? And these people are not exactly prepared to repair/build an infrastructure! And that's a lot of cases of primary pulmonary hypertension about to walk around a very dodgy planet." But then maybe 700 years in the future, those kinds of medical issues were no longer, you know, medical issues.)
Anyway, all that said, I *did* like it.
