Cher caught my eye first in Rocky, then Silkwood. Both were excellent performances, I thought.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH's take on Love and Other Drugs was that it was mostly good until the end, at which point it got very stupid and borderline offensive to anyone living with chronic illness.

Movie You Should Not Watch: Sky Kids 3-D: Game Over. Ricardo Montalban, Sylvester Stallone, and a cameo by Frodo. And terrible fx, really inexcusable given it was 2003.

It's Robert Rodriguez, who makes films with the change he finds between seat cushions.

Todd Alcott is beginning an analysis of The Shining: [link]
I don't always agree with his take on things but he's always interesting, and he sure asks good questions. As soon as I read "Who is the protagonist?" I had to stop and think about it. And then I came to same conclusion he did, and felt dumb for never realizing it until that moment.

Because books.
That was really interesting, Strega. I took a moment and guessed with my gut before reading it, figuring that Jack probably wouldn't be the protagonist, based on your reaction. And I got it right! It really is the only thing that makes sense when you take it apart like that.
