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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just got back from seeing Let Me In.
I actually liked it better than the original version, mostly because the pacing in the remake was a bit tighter.

I'm hoping the rumored Suspiria remake is dead because it wasn't in that list, as opposed to by omission.
But I'm kind of looking forward to the remake of Fright Night.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Is it me or was every other black person but Michael in The Blind Side..well, kind of a dick?(if not right out evil and neglectful) I feel weird feeling sensitive about this, being this pale and all, but it kind of marred what could be a sweet viewing experience and I'm upset about it in a way I haven't been since my overly-sensitive collegiate feminist period. Am I being too serious? Has David Simon ruined another viewing experience? But if I didn't know any black people, it would make me glad I didn't, and I don't think that's what they wanted. Right?

I'm watching Alien 3 on AMC. Though it has some flaws, I have a deep fondness for it. It's Fincher's first film, and you can see a few Fincher hallmarks in it. I like Charles S. Dutton's performance, as well.

Hate, hate, hate Alien³. Hated it from the moment they killed Newt, offscreen, before the movie even starts. Makes everything that happened in the first two films meaningless.

And that's one of the things I love the most about Alien 3 - all that work, all that fear and pain, and all those people who died, all to rescue one twelve year old girl. All for nothing.
I don't know why that speaks to me, but it does.
(Alan Dean Foster, who wrote the novelization, tried to keep Newt alive in the book, but the studio said no. Foster considered Newt's death an obscenity. It is. The world is an obscene place.)

I'm with Scola here. As soon as they killed off by Newt and Hicks, they lost me, and never got me back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Right there with you. If they'd just had Ripley drawn back in after getting them away to safety, maybe because she's the only person who knows anything about them like at the start of Aliens, I'd have been OK with her death at the end. But "Rocks fall, everyone dies" doesn't work as the beginning of a movie.
