Brandon Routh was even funnier.

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.

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.

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?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, we finally saw The Kids Are All Right, and I was not thrilled with the picture. All the performances were fantastic, but almost all the action which moved the plot forward felt totally contrived to me. And the characters were all felt kinda self-satisfied in an annoying way. Mark Ruffalo is mad sexy in it though, so there's that.
