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.
Though Melanie Griffith singing in the Viva Laughlin pilot may outdo them...
Another reason for me to be thankful that I didn't watch.
ION, I looked up the casting for that new Katherine Heigl movie and discovered that she was cast as Stephanie Plum in the movie adaptation of One for the Money.
Really?
Although, Daniel Sunjata as Ranger is an excellent idea and as much as I like Jason O'Mara he is not at all what I thought of when I imagined Morelli.
Re John Carpenter's The Thing, it was evidently the tradition at the Antartica pole station that after the last plane of the winter took off (leaving them isolated for the next 4+ months), the staff would gather in the mess hall and watch The Thing together.
In an emergency, a netflix envelope makes a great coaster.
Jilli, I saw it for the first time a few months ago, and I felt the same way.
I realized that I really *hadn't* seen it since the first time, so while I knew the broad outline of the story, I had forgotten a lot of the details. When the hot-wire-in-the-dish scene happened, I jumped back and shrieked.
Oh, that cicada-ey sound the creature makes when changing and its screams when burning are the most horrifying sound effects I've ever heard in a movie.
I've got to agree. Man, the sound design for that film was just amazing.
Speaking of movies I haven't watched since I was a pre-teen, there is a part of me that wants to rewatch Poltergeist. Then I remember the not sleeping for three days after I saw it, and I think maybe this is not such a clever plan.
Katherine Heigl is not ethnic. She's okay, but she's no Stephanie Plum.
Yeah, surely they could have found somebody that embodies the feister terrieresque qualities of Stephanie Plum better.
Meanwhile, a friend just sent me this link to a trailer for Mei Mei a film adaptation of the Chinese version of Cinderella.
I just watched 13 Going on 30. Could Jennifer Garner BE any more adorable?
I haven't seen 13 Going on 30, but from the movie poster, it's obvious that Jennifer Garner has adopted a Praying Mantis style Kung Fu for the film, as opposed to the generic kickboxing she used in Alias. How many people does she kill in the movie?
I think that's my favorite Jennifer Garner role. Even more than the good seasons of Alias - though I liked the show I never quite believed she was really such a badass.
