"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Chris Evans was hilarious in Scott Pilgrim, but Brandon Routh was even funnier. I guess i don't get the Michael Cera issues. But the only other thing I've seen him in was Arrested Development, so that might have something to do with it.

Brandon Routh was even funnier.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Brandon Routh was so damn funny. The whole explanation of "Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday" was beautiful.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

P-C, I didn't mean it like that. Rather, a central plot point has the clone of the original, killing the original and creating more clone(s) for the character's main purpose.

I hope I'm not mixing up my movies.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I... called the ending to The Prestige about five minutes in. It was a pretty disappointing movie because of that.

move out and draw fire

Raq, have you seen The Prestige?

I have, but I read it first, and the reading stuck with me more. So I called that part right away. Seriously, when Aaron tells Kara it's baby birds in the attic, I told the DH "Right. It's his prestiges."

But I still couldn't quite track which one was doing what when, until I diagrammed it out later. And I have to admit I never bought Aaron's motivation to be a hero and arrange the party so he could be.

Still, really a quite good movie.

You and me both, Jessica. Occam's Razor in action.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Edited because while it may be obvious to me, I don't want to spoil Catfish.

Is anyone going to see Sockpupet: The Movie (aka Catfish)?

I suspect Arachnophobia won't have aged well but it did have some stand out scenes like when they realized the little spider on the table was actually turning to track the movements of one of the peeps in the room... and of course there's the spider sliding down the body double in the shower scene. That was great fun for my young hormones.

I just watched it, not having seen it since I was a kid, and it's a little flawed in that it could use some more editing and a bit of a punchier script, but otherwise, it holds up. It makes you squirm and it makes you laugh. Jeff Daniels and John Goodman are great.

I'm looking for a movie equivalent of Goodreads. Anyone use Flixter or iCheckMovies? Opinions?
