People like that don't usually make for stories I, personally, want to see.
Exactly!
Unless, of course, they're pirates.

Pirates, vampires, or they kill zombies.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I totally love The Losers. I don't buy many DVDs these days, but that one I just might.
I dunno; the books & DVDs I own don't feature many happy, well-adjusted women, heroic women. But they don't feature many men like that either. People like that don't usually make for stories I, personally, want to see.
Well, yeah. My favorite fictional character is Starbuck, female version, first 1.5 seasons. It's not the morality of any given female character, it's the complexity and agency that makes her interesting and valuable.

first 1.5 seasons
it's a crying shame you have to add that in there. It's true, but it's a shame.

The top layer will be "Christopher Nolan is the greatest filmmaker who ever lived," and the bottom layer will be "Christopher Nolan loves me like a son."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Middle layer: manpain!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i've seen Inception three times in the theatre now. could probably go again and not feel too guilty for it. absolutely cannot WAIT until it's out on dvd and i can watch and rewatch Arthur being a badass. plus, i hope we get a "making of" featurette for the hallway scene.
I rewatched The Departed last night. man, that's a great movie. probably Leo's best work. still don't like the ending though. i'm still wondering what was in the envelope Billy gave Madelyn too.

That movie goes on forever. Just when I thought that Scorsese couldn't possibly have any more ass to pull endings out of, he went and proved me wrong.
