I'm proud to be of service. And we need a quick-edit tag for rimshots.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw HP7P1 tonight and really liked it. I definitely missed Luna's ceiling, but otherwise, it had been so long since I read the book that I didn't notice additions/omissions for the most part. I thought it moved along pretty nicely and was suitably action-packed and tense, although not as emotionally involving as the book, obvs. I dig Yates's HP style, though.
I, too, loved, loved, loved the animation of the story of the Three Brothers. I loved the style of it.
Haven't they cut most of the Severus/Lily backstory out of the movies? How is the doe Patronus going to have any resonance?

Man I still cant't get away from Splice even though I try.
Thanks for the article on "the Shining" - I really enjoyed it. I sent it to Beau who is writing a fiction novel right now and he liked it a lot.
I look forward to more.

Saw Burlesque with my daughter tonight. The story is definitely on the trite side and the romantic subplot is pretty obvious and predictable, but for your money's worth, you would pay a hell of a lot more for that level of Christina Aguilera concert. For the music alone, it was worth paying full price.

We watched Chicago after Thanksgiving dinner, and I gotta say, I didn't expect Richard Gere to be as good as he was.
And Renee Zellweger...was very good in the scene where she played the ventriloquist's dummy. And that's really all I can say about her.
Queen Latifah, though, is awesomesauce.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I never thought she was hot enough for that part, Teppy. But I love that movie and have watched it a bunch of times.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I really can't think of anything I've liked Renee Zellweiger in.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVED her in Bridget Jones Diary. Thought she did fine in Chicago, but did not have that extra something you need in a musical, which Zeta-Jones, Gere and Latifah all had.

She single-handedly ruined Down With Love for me. The entire rest of the cast is perfect, yet still a bad film.

I liked Down With Love, but it would have been better with another actress.
