Some time back, TCM showed His Kind of Woman, a Robert Mitchum-Jane Russell noir set in a resort on the Baja California coast. I Tivo'd it at the time and finally got to see it over the weekend.

I'm not sure if it's great film noir or just a magnificent mess. Or both. But I recommend. Largely because, over the last 30-45 minutes, Vincent Price steals the movie as an Errol Flynn-type actor who finally gets to do in real life what he's always done on-screen. And Russell was never more beautiful, even if she really isn't relevant to the plot. (And it doesn't hurt that Mitchum spends about 1/4 of the picture shirtless.)

Yeah, I've been a JGL fan since he was a wee thing. I'm so glad to see him turn into such an amazing talent as an adult.

Word. NSM in 3rd Rock, but definitely since 10 Things. Ah, that was such a great movie. Need to rewatch.

Gah, seriously, I have half an hour of voice memos of myself babbling about Inception. I hope to turn it into a massive blog post at some point, we'll see. Next weekend - Inception in IMAX. Aw yeah.

Bronson is on Netflix streaming. I hadn't really glanced at it, but now that you say that I'll have to watch it.

Fair warning - it's not for the squeamish.

For some of us, totally in Third Rock. He was marvellously funny there.

I totally loved him in 3rd Rock. But I was a big 3rd Rock fan. The Big Giant Head was played by the Shatner. Come on!

Well, I never really watched 3rd Rock, so 10 Things was the first time I properly got a chance to appreciate him.

Pete, on a scale of Matrix to Sin City, with Fight Club somewhere in the middle, how would Bronson rate? Having seen a clip of Hardy talking about Bronson, I am now intrigued, but not so good with gore. (The clip in question: [link] You should all watch it, and join me and amyth in our campaign to introduce "CUT ET AHF NAAAH" into the vernacular.)

I miss 3rd Rock. Sheer goofy fun.

first thing i remember seeing JGL in was Angels in the Outfield. he was all kinds of adorable even then.

Mark and I saw Inception this weekend and both enjoyed it a lot. My favorite scenes were definitely Joseph Gordon-Levitt on his own in the hotel: fighting in zero-gravity or while the ground is tilting wildly, tying all the sleepers together to put them in the elevator -- just breathtakingly cool. So much about the movie reminded me of The Matrix, in a good way, both philosophically and in terms of the special effects, which were not just super awesome but also perfectly utilized.

I do wish, though, that I had acted on my instincts and asked here, before seeing the movie, whether or not anyone gets run over by a train, since that was how Mark's brother died three weeks ago. I had convinced myself that the odds were so low that it wasn't worth asking about, so I was completely shocked to actually see that scene on the screen. Not a good moment. The rest of the movie was good enough to balance out that scene, but it definitely was not the escapist fare I'd been expecting, what with Leo grieving his dead wife and needing to let her go.

Anyway, it gave us lots to think and talk about, and was really fun and absorbing. With bonus badass JGL!

Oh, Kate. I'm sorry. That must have been quite a shock.
