'Bushwhacked'
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.
My sister has been sending me clips of him from Roseanne and Family freaking Ties. She's trying to make me out to be a perv, just because I thought he was cute in 3rd Rock. Still, she's looking out for me, and I appreciate that.
Amy, have you seen this dance video, and this and Morgan and Destiny’s Eleventeenth Date?
I had not! Awesome.
JGL was absolutely my favorite thing about 3rd Rock.
the girl in those last two videos is/was his gf.
That's certainly the right movie to contribute toward that end.
NSM for me. Mixed feelings.
My teammate just gave me an older version of The Psychotronic Video Guide.
Hec, Frankenbuddha, if you guys haven't got this, you need it.

Oh yeah - I've got the Psychotronic Encyclopedia too. The guy that started up Psychotronic Magazine was one of the original Cleveland punks. I think he was in the Styrenes or one of those early contemporaries of Pere Ubu.

I've got a couple of editions of that, but I never really got around to perusing the magazine itself.
Scott Pilgrim: Awesome.
Not 100% satisfied with the way it diverged from the comic; it could have stuck to the story more while still compressing it.
Putting the Ramona/Knives fight at the end was a mistake, and kind of dragged out the climax.
Needed more Allison Pill.
Edgar Wright's comic timing is amazing, and if it doesn't get a best editing Oscar it will be a crime.
Scott Pilgrim: Awesome.
Told you!

My major beef was that in the book, Scott and Ramona defeat Gideon together, and in the movie, Ramona mostly stands around while Scott fights Gideon, and for some reason Knives is the one that saves the day. I'll see if I like it more the second time around.
Needed more Allison Pill.
But of course.

How does one evaluate a director's comic timing as opposed to an actor's comic timing?
perhaps the film editor deserves some credit.
