I'm looking for a movie equivalent of Goodreads. Anyone use Flixter or iCheckMovies? Opinions?
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I thought it was fine. But my mind was boggled when my mother didn't get the appeal of the Ruffalo character. Dude, seriously?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
...I don't get the appeal of the Ruffalo character. But then I've never gotten the Ruffalo appeal.

I think he's cute. Not in a gotta-have-it way, but I get it. I like it that he seems handsome AND like you could meet him in your town at the same time...I think Shauna would call him "approachable", well, Shauna would say "fucking approachable" because she is Jersey-girl fabulous as well as a publicist, but you feel me, right?

My mind is boggling at you as well!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
No Ruffalo for me, either.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On a scale of one to ten (and yes, you can go to eleven), how would you rate the clown-under-the-bed-scene in Poltergeist?

Maybe a seven? Though it wasn't even the scariest scene in that movie (the tree eating Bobby and the steak crawling across the countertop were both worse, IMHO).
Plus, you can never view the scene the same way again after seeing Scary Movie 2.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I rate it a 10, where 1 = total recall. Man, it's been a long time since I saw that film.
